1302.0. "Plum Island controlled hunt ?'s" by JUPITR::BUTCH (No Shortcut Too Short) Mon Sep 27 1993 14:47

    Hey guys,
    	Has anyone heard much on the Plum Island controlled hunt?
    I know it's a lottery and all that stuff, but with all the deer there,
    would the chance of disease be higher? You would think so with the 
    population, but then why would they have a hunt where the meat would be 
    consumed? No chance for a big rack there. Can you hunt Archery or just
    Shotgun? Would a doe invalidate a doe permit? Just checking it out.
    Thanks in advance.....

1302.1A note about Lyme diseaseTOOK::MCCARTHYGive every man his dewTue Sep 28 1993 10:216
    It is not just the dear population that increases the chances of Lyme
    disease, but the dear mice must be there too.  Biologists are not sure
    of the exact reason, but all three components, dear, dear mice and dear
    ticks MUST be present for there to be Lyme disease.

    The letter I got on Friday read; 
    
    	Dear Hunter,
    	
    	CONGRADULATIONS, you've been picked for the Parker River Wildlife
    Refuge hunt....
    
    I wish all my mail went like that :)  My friend got picked also. 
    The bad news is the orientation is this Sat, the day I leave for 
    Nova Scotia (%*#%@^!!!!) My friend is calling today to see if we can
    attend the alternate orientation, if there is one.
    
    Has anyone else been selected?
