Another appeal for Assistance needed for the 14^th Annual Owen Sound Salmon Spectacular

We now have the working schedules completed. They will be at the April 5 general meeting for you to sign up for your favorite time and activity. Please mark these dates on your personal calendar as well. August 24 through September 2, 2001. This mammoth event needs everyone's help.

We need your help with parking in 2001. What we really need is one or two persons to act as parking coordinators. You would be responsible for organizing our parking strategy not spending each night parking cars. The soccer field area at Kelso Beach has already been booked. Another part of the strategy will be to construct new signage to direct patrons to parking at Kelso and on the old railway right of way. We have learned that our junior members need adult help with parking. How about volunteering your help with this important project? We Remember, this is our source for conservation project funding which includes such items as shrubs, trees, wildlife plantings, wood for nesting boxes, junior activities, hatchery materials and supplies and fishfood for up to 500 000 salmonids. Please call me at 372- 0410 and volunteer to help us.

Bighead River Stream Improvement Projects
In 1999 and 2000, the SSA completed a number of stream improvement projects on the Bighead River.
These projects were completed using MNR (CFIP) funds and club funding. The projects have focused on restricting cattle access from sensitive, headwater tributaries.
In 1999, a cattle crossing/watering project was completed on Minniehill Creek. This wonderful but unappreciated tributary to the Bighead River arises from the base of the Niagara Escarpment at Blantyre and flows north 7 km before joining the Bighead. The project was located on the farm of Andrew and Shelly Boyd, a young family who fully support environmentally friendly farming practices.
At this location, Minniehill Creek had already been fenced to restrict cattle access except for a muddy , wide cattle crossing. Approximately 45 tonnes of crushed gravel was imported and laid 8 inches thick on both sides, preventing any further erosion and narrowing the access point. Project cost was $800.
While water quality and summer base flow on the Minniehill is typically excellent, the stream is "thermally polluted" such that the stream cannot support many trout except in the very upstream headwater areas. Further efforts, including stream side fencing and tree planting have the potential to reduce summer stream temperatures, and transform this diamond in the rough into a trout producing powerhouse.
As well, in 1999, the first of a two phase fencing project on Upper Springhill Creek near Strathavan was completed on the property of SSA member Doug Van Horne, with Doug's full support and cooperation. When the second phase of the project was completed in the spring of 2000, a total of 730 m of page wire fence was erected, excluding cattle from 350 m of sensitive stream.
The Van Horne property, on the south side of County Road 40 east of Chatsworth, encompasses some of the most spectacular countryside in Grey County, including one of the most scenic natural waterfalls on the Bighead system. One graveled crossing was retained for cattle watering. Total value of the project exceeded $9000.
Moving east toward Walters Falls Creek, a 100% cattle exclusion project was completed in 2000 on a small head water tributary on the property of Rob Reid, recently elected Deputy Major of the Municipality of Georgian Highlands. Total project cost was $2,700. As the club budget for the project was $2500, Mr. Reid graciously made up the $200 shortfall himself. So pleased with the club efforts, Mr Reid made an additional $300 contribution toward the SSA's conservation account. Mr. Reid is also the municipalities' delegate to the board of the Grey Sauble Conservation Authority.
Finally, though not an SSA project, a second major cattle fencing project was completed by the Scenic City Order of Good Cheer ( with funding from MNR's Fish and Wildlife Fish and Enhancement Fund) on the property of Ralph Sutherland in the fall of 2000.
This project is also located on upper Springhill Creek, just downstream of the Van Horne property. This fencing project can be easily seen on the north side of County Road 40. To take a look, take Highway 10 south from Chatsworth and turn left onto County Road 40 at the sand dome. Go east 8.4 km.
Like similar projects, two graveled cattle watering locations were established. Total length of stream protected with this project is 400m. Total value of the project was approximately $12,000. With completion of the Van Horne and Sutherland projects, cattle are now virtually excluded from this high quality, Bighead tributary.
The above projects have not been completed on a random basis. Rather, Henderson, Paddon and Associates completed a survey of stream temperatures on all tributaries of the Bighead during the hot, dry summer of 1999. Each headwater tributary, both large and small, were classified as being cold, cool or warm water in accordance with a stream classification protocol developed by the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans for southern Ontario streams.
Based on the study, the Henderson, Paddon report identified 12 priority locations for projects to reduce summer stream temperatures. All of the above projects were located on priority sites. The SSA has received a copy of the report.
While the above projects are a good start, we have only started the journey to improve the Bighead River. The ultimate goal of all the projects is maximize trout habitat (and hence trout productivity, especially for migratory rainbow). Like the old adage "10% of the fisherman catch 90% of the fish", I strongly believe that improving 10% of the key tributaries may achieve 90% of the potential increase in trout productivity. If so, the general formula of careful watershed study, followed by identification of priority "hot spots" and correction of such will result in major increases in trout abundance.
I'll make a point of bringing the Bighead Report to the April general meeting for those who want more information.

Fish Advisory Committee
On March 10th., SSA members; Dennis Grummett, Cathe Cole, Coy Currie, Norm Schatz, Mark Porter, John Ford ,Jim Weir, Dan and Bill Laxton, and myself completed a MNR run workshop on fishway monitoring procedures. When the full SSA fishway volunteer crews are organized to run the Mill Dam Fishway starting in late March, we'll need to update everyone on some changes that will be taking place this year. A reminder to SSA members who are interested in helping with this important fisheries project, Coy Currie is organizing the morning crew and Dennis Grummett is organizing the afternoon crew. An important aspect of this project is the fact that we will also be collecting our rainbow trout eggs for the SSA's rainbow trout 2002 hatchery rearing program. If you can help please give them a call.
Also in the month of March, as soon as weather permits, we'll be stocking our 40,000 year old rainbow trout. Coy Currie already has the MNR stocking permit in hand. If you would like to be involved in this stocking activity, give Coy a call at 376-2942. Members of the SSA's fisheries committee attended the second MNR open house on the Thornbury Dam issue. Choices now are narrowed down to three, 1) leave as is, 2) remove the dam 3) rebuilt the dam and fishway. As you probably already know the SSA is pushing to have the dam removed and if this action is taken, we have pledged $10,000 to assist in restoring the old mill pond to its natural state. MNR has indicated that a decision will likely be made on this issue sometime in April/May.
The FAC have also completed letters to MNR Minister Snobelen, and the DFO outlining SSA's objections to the proposed quarry beside Greenock Creek, near Formosa Ontario. We support the efforts being made by the Four Corners Environmental Group to stop this project and have forwarded them another $500 to assist in handling the $80,000 debt they have accumulated while fighting this proposed quarry project.
At the request of Mr. Gary Morton, I'll be attending another meeting on the proposed Wayne McKibbon pig barn proposal for southeast of Chatsworth. A new proposal has been put forth to have the barn moved to the McKibbon home farm. Word has it that this area sits on an elevated dome of land which contains a large spring discharge area which leads directly into the Bighead River. I'll be checking this out at the March 14th. meeting and will inform you later as to my finding.
On a final note, if you fish or have an interest in the fishery of the Nottawasaga River, you should take the time to read a newly published tabloid which reports on the Nottawasaga River rainbow trout. Included in this tabloid is a questionnaire which asks your preference for new steelhead regulations proposed for the middle part of the Nottawasaga River. This proposed area covers the main river only, going upstream from the Pine River at Angus, to the Boyne River at the Nicholson Dam fishway east of Alliston. If you are interested in this report, pick one up at the next SSA general meeting.

Wildlife Advisory Committee
I have been asked to sit on an advisory body regarding development of a Grey County forest management plan. I have agreed to participate, and hope to have fish, wildlife, hunting and angling concerns considered in any strategy for Grey County forests. A similar participation with the North Grey/Sauble Conservation Authority over the past few years certainly provided mitigation of many of our concerns in their final plan.
The long, hard winter with lots of snow will, undoubtedly provide excellent aquifer recharge for our streams and wetlands. Our coldwater fish as well as waterfowl and other wetland wildlife are long overdue for an assist from mother nature. Conversely, some wildlife species have been adversely affected, and require some help.
Turkeys are at their extreme northern range in Grey/Bruce and the deep snow has definitely killed a fair number of birds. First of all, turkeys, unlike grouse, cannot survive for long periods on tree buds and catkins. They do not have the type of gut that can extract all the necessary nutrient from cellulose. They need carbohydrates, i.e., seeds. The deep snow certainly covered up much of this food source. But of even more concern, was the deep, powdery snow that persisted week after week for much of the winter. Grouse do pretty well in deep snow. When winter comes, grouse grow small, horizontal combs on each toe that actually act as snowshoes, and lets them get around quite well. Not so the turkeys. They sink. They can't walk to forage. They have a very difficult time taking flight. Some were reported to have stayed in tree roosts for three weeks without coming down to forage. Many emaciated turkey carcasses were collected from different areas. It was bad enough in some areas that many clubs and individuals began feeding programs, and have undoubtedly contributed to the survival of many birds. See following item, "Wild Turkey Interim Feeding Guideline." I agree that habitat management will be the best management program for turkeys. However, I believe that feeding can be a major management tool in our extreme northern turkey range.
Also, would anyone feeding turkeys, please complete the attached form and send it to me at  904 6th Ave. West, Owen Sound, Ont, N4K 5G4. I will forward all information to M.N.R. Please attach any additional comments, suggestions etc..

WILD TURKEY INTERIM WINTER FEEDING GUIDELINES
Provincial Wild Turkey Working Group: Background Information
Snow conditions this winter has led to enquiries from both staff and the public as to whether supplemental or emergency feeding of wild turkeys is warranted.
Although some information on the impacts of winter feeding of turkeys exists, certainly we know' much less about impacts of winter feeding on turkeys than we do about deer.
A clear definition of emergency winter conditions for turkeys does not exist. A clear distinction between emergency feeding and supplemental feeding of turkeys does not exist, as it does for deer.
Some of the most pertinent research was done in Pennsylvania in from 1962 to 1974. Their goal was to determine the extent and causes of winter mortality and to see if losses could be prevented by supplemental feeding. Briefly their findings were:
During severe winters, up to 60% of wild turkeys died.
Powder snow conditions of>.5 meters that last for more than 2 weeks were the main causes of turkey starvation
In most years, populations bounced back in one breeding season
Turkeys were reluctant to fly down from their roosts into deep snow even when emergency food was provided
Experience in Pennsylvania showed that feeders needed to be filled even in mild winters to keep the turkeys aware of the locations of food. Therefore emergency feeding is usually ineffective.
Another study in the Southern Adirondacks of NY found:
Powder snow of>30 cm stopped practically all turkey movement on the ground. They classified winters with >30 cm of snow on the ground for 3 months as severe for turkeys-
During severe winters only 55 percent of turkeys survived
Experiments with penned birds have shown that turkeys can live for 2 weeks without food and lose 40 percent of their body weight before succumbing to starvation .
The role of predation and disease on turkey survival at feeding stations is unknown, but it is possible that disease transmission could be greater and predation could be significant when predators learn of these areas where turkeys are concentrated.
In Ontario, deep fluffy snow for extended periods likely caused significant winter mortality in 1994 in the Barrie area. Harvest in the spring of 1994 was down 32% but rebounded the following spring.
At a population level, it is unlikely that winter feeding is of any value, and partners would be better advised to spend their money on improving habitat that will benefit wild turkeys over the long term.

Position
At this point in time, the wild turkey working group does not support feeding of wild turkeys in winter. The WTWG will revisit this position as more data becomes available.

Action
This is an interim guideline which will be more fully addressed in the revisions to the wild turkey management plan
Any birds found dead this winter should be sent to the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Center at the University of Guelph (Doug Campbell S 19-823-8800 ext. 4556) to determine cause of death.
We recognize that feeding will occur in areas regardless of our position. We intend to document areas where intentional feeding (not just incidental turkeys at bird feeders) is occurring and study the possible impacts on survival. We will look at spring harvests in areas with severe conditions and will also look at areas where feeding occurred vs. areas that had no winter feeding. Body weights of trapped birds this winter also offers a source of information that may indicate condition of the birds in different areas. To help us collect data to do this analysis, we are asking each office to complete the attached form where feeding is occurring. If a local turkey chapter or club is feeding, please ask them to complete the form. Completed forms should be returned to Bruce Pollard. MNR, Peterborough, by March 3lst.

Deer went into the yards in early December. Some areas have been subjected to deep snows and freezing temperatures. The winter severity index is now way past the extreme danger point in certain localities, and emergency feeding has begun.
The most significant factor to contend with now is the length of time spent by deer in the yard, in the absence of high quality feed. In January and February, deer are almost in semi-hibernation. Their metabolism has slowed down, and food requirements are low. In this stage, they lose weight, but if they have gone into the yard in good shape, have reasonable access to browse, get out of the yard in time, they will be fine. This is what happens in mild winters.
This year, the deer went into the yards early, suffered through deep snow and cold, and many are still yardbound. Their energy resources are pretty well used up. Their metabolism has speeded up, and they need quality food to satisfy their escalating energy demands. At this stage, cellulose, such as woody browse or hay, isn't good enough. High energy carbohydrates in a corn/oat mixture are recommended to give the best results.
In our area, the government-funded feeding program, so far, mostly has been in WMU83 and upper Grey in WMU82. A quick look at WMU84 by MNR staff indicated much less winter severity, except possibly in Brant Township. The large yards in upper Bruce County make feeding programs relatively easy and practical. The logistics of feeding smaller yards in other areas presents major problems. Requests for deer feeding are still coming in and, if valid, may increase the extent of the feeding effort. However, the program to date is as follows:

UPPER BRUCE
Johnson's Harbour 3/4 ton/day + or -250 deer
Stokes Bay 1/2 ton/day 200 deer
Boat Lake 1/2 ton/day 200 deer
Amabel 1/4 ton/day 100 deer

GREY
Misc. yards 1/4 ton/day l00 deer
TOTAL: 2 1/4 tons/day 850 deer
Note: The feeding tonnage is being revised upwards as per recent communications with M.N.R.
There is always the argument that nature should be allowed to take its course. However, if we want some species to thrive in sufficient numbers that will make a good hunt, it is often necessary to supply artificial support, i.e., deer are designed for Virginia, not Ontario, and bad winters can both kill them outright and severely limit fawn production. In our snowy, cold winters, deer sometimes have to put out the "help wanted" signs.
Any feeding programs underway will have to continue until either a) grass and other green vegetation is in evidence or b) the deer have left the yard. Not everyone is pleased with high deer populations. Some orchard growers near Georgian Bay certainly are not happy. Deer from the nearby Meaford Tank Range yard have been severely damaging apple trees. One grower claims a loss of $160,000 this year, and wants compensation. It is our understanding that a) the MNR will not give kill permits because the orchard butts onto a major deer yard, and b) the Ministry is reluctant to consider compensation, not only because of the precedent setting, but also because the complainant failed to exercise due diligence in efforts to keep deer away.
This has important ramifications for deer hunters. First of all, we hunt mostly on private land, and must of this land is owned by farmers. If we fail to support farmers, it is quite likely that we will lose many of our hunting privileges, both through "no trespassing" signs and through Municipal and Provincial laws. In turn, if the farmers want hunting to help control certain nuisance wildlife populations, they must help keep land open to hunting. For example, strip developments on farm fronts sold off by farmers is attracting anti-hunting home owners, who would stop all hunting if they could. The Dufferin/North Peel Club at Orangeville has been fighting an ongoing battle to keep hunting rights open in Conservation Authority and county forests. The Bruce Peninsula Club has seen prime hunting country in county forests near Sauble Falls lost through municipal by-laws, because of strip development. They are presently fighting a similar anti-hunter-inspired threat to close down first-rate hunting territory near Oliphant. Incidentally, the OFAH, Zone H, has been quite active regarding this issue.
We need all the help we can get, and this certainly includes farmer support. This will require some very proactive initiatives on the part of hunters. We will need to communicate and negotiate with municipal governments, farm groups and individual landowners, in order to create the understanding necessary for the very survival of our hunting and fishing way of life.
The East Grey Anglers and Hunters general meeting on April lOth will be discussing the orchard damage issue. I know that SSA members will be attending this meeting to discuss this very serious issue. What do we expect? What do we want done? What can we do to help?
The Zone H land use committee is probably the proper group to oversee OFAH concerns. Hunter access will become a limiting factor in the survival of hunting itself in southern Ontario. The handwriting is on the wall. Most of the OFAH land use committee's hunter access concerns are directed at access roads and camping rights in Northern Ontario. I suggest to you that Southern Ontario hunting access will become even more important and affect more hunters than these access roads in Northern Ontario. The time to start influencing decisions regarding our access is now. We shouldn't wait until the situation is completely out of hand. I further suggest that a major first step would be establishment of member club/municipal liaison under the overall umbrella of the OFAH land use committee. This could give us the opportunity to influence municipal policy, and perhaps head issues off at the pass before problems become insurmountable.

SPECIES INTRODUCTIONS
A peregrine falcon release is planned for Owen Sound. Many groups and individuals will participate. There is considerable local support for this project. The Sydenham Conservation Foundation has pledged $2,400.00 towards the project. However, the local pigeon-racing club has lodged a protest, stating that peregrines threaten their birds.
There is a proposal to attempt a trumpeter swan introduction within the Rankin Wildlife Area (lower Bruce Peninsula lake/wetland complex) .The Rankin Resource Group has asked for a biological impact statement before giving 100% endorsement.

The Lakes of Lower Bruce Peninsula
Just inland from the East shore of Lake Huron's dramatic shoreline lies a series of shallow lakes and connecting rivers, well endowed with flocks of migrating and resident waterfowl, shorebirds and wading birds., a treasure for hunter or naturalist.
The drainage is blocked from Lake Huron by ancient sand dunes., forcing the waters southwards at a leisurely pace to the meandering Rankin River, and thence to Lake Huron near the Sauble River mouth.
Fortunately for wildlife and the fishery, the usually wet shoreline and shallow waters have not encouraged cottagers, and the cottagers who are there appear to be fishermen with 5-horse kickers who leave most marshland alone. May it remain so.
At the Northerly end, Sky Lake supports floating marshes and reed beds, like its sister lakes (or are they brother lakes?) and you may observe now rare species such as the black tern, the pied-billed grebe, and the Cuckoo Flower, that is, if you go by canoe.
The fishery in these lakes is still plentiful, including the dogfish, which is fortunately uncommon, since it is not edible. The other warm water species await your hook.
Passing southward through the narrows to Boat Lake you may encounter an angry Osprey, which chooses to nest on the emergent stump close by your boat route, rather than a high rise nearby.
With constantly increasing pressure on our wildlife and wetlands, due to more visitors with more accessible machinery, the management of this jewel becomes more imperative.
To this end, the Rankin Resource Group of 30 members. was organized in 1999, and they are proceeding with a management and conservation plan of action.
Much is at stake.
