Maple Rock Shooting Scores Highlight Local Hunters
Top scorers at Maple Rock Shooting Range were Paul Waddell with 22, Dave Johnson with 20, and Art Hawes with 20. Visitors included Pete Ford and Roy Vowest. Local deer hunters in Wellington County faced rain and limited success during a three day season. Commercial game farms, mainly pheasants, are rising, with costs for blinds, hunts, and birds. Hunting on preserves remains expensive and less challenging compared to wild game, and access is limited to those who can pay.

Hamilton players were left, and the team may need a stronger showing in the two game total point series. Intermediate hockey admission prices rise this year for all except public school children. The Tanners struggled to operate in OHSA under last year’s budget despite no salaries.
