which In turn are based on the number of deer shot by poachers and hit by cars on highways Mrs Kilmer said an accurate count of tho number of deer roaming through the region has not been taken In 11 years therefore the actual number could be far less the Ministry is predicting The Ministry Is in favor of the hunt Last year It promoted and supervised the Nov to Nov hunt which disappointed almost everyone who took part Instead of the expected 1000 deer which the Ministry thought would bo bagged only were officially reported to checkpoints Hunters were not allowed to hunt in groups which is considered the only ef fective method In addition the number of hunters was limited to 1000 of whom had to be Halton residents This year the Ministry has suggested expanding the ber of outside- hunters but the com mittee last Wednesday rejected this idea hand It also rejected the suggestion by the committees own chairman Bill Johnson that any hunt be restricted to exact spots where deer feed and water Mr Johnson said carefully killing tone would do the job efficiently and would preclude hunters from wandering onto private lands with the Included fear of a person or property being destroyed But council today will be also asked to consider a third recommendation of the committee that the Ministry consider and report on the possibility of allowing hunting on specific properties at the owners request outside tho hunt period This recommendation would go far to quelling the anger of farm owners at the damage being done to crops by deer but It is also expected to be very debated tomorrow The question would be where the line Is drawn between what property owner can and cannot hunt on his land after the deer hunt To this end the Agricultural Advisory Upper Canada College at
