Public Hunting Areas 



PHEASANTS 



Managed public hunting areas were again operated by the Department. At 

 Presqu'ile, Darlington, Earl Rowe and Sibbalds Point Parks and on the Gananoque 

 Public Hunting Area, pheasant hunting was enjoyed by 3,536 hunters. At the 

 parks, the season commenced the Wednesday following Thanksgiving at a time 

 when there is little, if any, demand for other park facilities. Hunters paid a daily 

 fee of $5.00 and could take up to three pheasants of either sex. The number 

 of hunters allowed was restricted and permits were made available on a first-come 

 first-served basis.

 Provincial Parks follows:
