| When Ontario’s harsh
winter weather puts our whitetail deer population in crisis, its no
coincidence that anglers and hunters come to the rescue through
participation in the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH)
DeerSave emergency winter feeding program. In conjunction with the
Ministry of Natural Resources, the OFAH DeerSave program was created to
coordinate volunteers for breaking trails, browse cutting and emergency
deer feeding in areas where high snow levels and extended periods of
extreme weather could cause large-scale starvation in deer wintering
areas. OFAH Deer Save Fund donations may be sent to: St. Joseph Island
Hunters and Anglers Association, Box 287, Richards Landing ON P0R 1J0.
The St. Joseph Island
Hunters and Anglers Association administers this program for the island
and the north shore. We also keep $5000 on hand for emergency feeding.
