I f it’s your first time here take some
time to review the user guide so
that you are familiar with the rules
and regulations associated with the
HPWA. If you have been here before
check out the map section for any
changes.
The Friends of Hullett Inc. is a strictly
volunteer group of men and women
from around Southern Ontario who
spend hundreds of hours outside of
their “regular jobs” to manage the
day-to-day operations at the wildlife
area. The Board of Directors of F.O.H.
meets monthly and corresponds
almost daily.
The Board administers a large
agricultural contract, which along
with generous donations from the
public, provides the funds for the
maintenance of the marsh, grounds,
and buildings, the funding for new
and exciting projects, and the hiring of
employees.
Our employees are carefully chosen
b a s e d o n t h e i r e d u c a t i o n a l
background, patience, and insight. We
have been most fortunate to have
employees that are “self-starters”. The
nature of their jobs necessitates
the ability to not only see the work
at hand, but to work outside a
“game plan”.
Partnered with the O.M.N.R. and Ducks
Unlimited Canada, the Board of
Directors continues to manage this
amazing 5200-acre wetland complex
in Huron County. The success of our
operation depends however, on much
more than the three senior partners.
Our employees, of course, are
indispensable; but so are the many
volunteers that show up for workdays,
either impromptu or planned, and
those, which manage many of our
projects at Hullett. If you have an idea
for improvements to the area, or a
program you might want to see at
Hullett, don’t hesitate to bring it to the
attention of the staff or
directors.
The senior partners,
the Board of Directors,
our employees, and our
volunteers all recognize
Hullett as a “jewel” tucked
away in Southern Ontario.
Even more so now after
receiving funding from the
Trillium program. We have
completed the “Hullet
Provincial Wildlife Area
Interpretive Centre”. Please take
some time to stop in at
the interpretive center located at the
main office.
If you are new to the Hullett area,
or are a frequent visitor, you can
participate in the “Hullett Experience”
by hiking, hunting, horseback riding,
canoeing, or simply volunteering some
gratifying time to the marsh.
Regardless, you won’t be disappointed.
Duane Inkpen,
CHAIR

Ducks Unlimited Canada works every day to protect andrestore wetland habitat like the
beautiful marshes you see in the Hullett Wildlife area.
Yet, in some areas of Ontario not
far from here, up to 90% of
wetlands have been lost forever.
Wetlands provide essential habitat
for wildlife and vegetation, and
they also greatly improve the
health of our local watersheds.

THE SAFETY OF HUNTING
With Hullett being a multi-use facility people are
often concerned about their safety when carrying
out activities during the hunting season. I respond
by telling them that there is a risk, but, statistically, they are
taking a greater risk driving here. In 1991, the U.S. National
Safety Council listed hunting after football, bicycle riding,
tennis, golf and swimming in terms of injuries requiring
hospital emergency room treatment. The same source lists
hunting related deaths after automobiles, home accidents,
falls, poisoning, fires and suffocation.
In Canada, and Ontario in particular, the tradition of hunting
is just as safe, if not more so. In 1957, Ontario became the
first Canadian province to establish a hunter safety-training
course. Over time the course has evolved into a broader
Message from theMarsh
Mat ShetlerMARSH MANAGER
Hunter Education Program. The Ontario
Hunter Education Program helps
participants to understand the natural
world and become a knowledgeable and
responsible hunter. The program provides
introductory information about
ecosystems and wildlife management,
hunting laws and regulations, hunter
responsibilities, identification, biology,
management of and hunting techniques
for big game, small game and waterfowl,
hunting and survival equipment and the
hunter's role in society. The program also
reinforces the firearms safety information
contained in the Canadian Firearms
Safety Course.
In addition to the Hunter Education
Program the Hunter Apprenticeship
Safety Program allows individuals the
opportunity to safely develop their
hunting skills while under the direct and
immediate supervision of a qualified
mentor. Any Ontario resident who is 12
years of age or older and who has
successfully completed the Ontario
Hunter Education Course (OHEC) and
exam is eligible to participate. The Hunter
Apprenticeship Safety Program is
mandatory for qualified participants
under the age of 15 but is optional for new
hunters who are 15 years of age or over.
As with every activity at Hullett there is a
risk. As long as people understand the
risks and take actions to minimize it, like
wearing bright colours, hunting accidents
will continue to be extremely rare at
Hullett and throughout Ontario. ■
By chance or good fortune you will find some of the true
inhabitants who depend upon the food, water, shelter and
space that Hullett provides. For our native wildlife, these are
the essentials of survival. For wildlife managers they are
measures of habitat quality. ■
This 2200 hectare site along the South
Maitland River provides superb
opportunities to see wildlife management
at its best. The forests, fields and marshes
present at Hullett provide a wide diversity
of wildlife species for all outdoor
enthusiasts.
H.P.W.A. has something for everyone, at any
time of the year.
This guide is designed to inform you of the
various recreational activities, some of
which you may be interested in partici-
pating in during your visit to Hullett.
• H.P.W.A. is open for public use and
enjoyment all year round.
• Typically, Hullett is for day use only and
on a self-guided basis. Organized clubs or
groups are asked to please coordinate their
activities through the Hullett office to
ensure there are no user conflicts. Group
tours may be arranged by contacting the
Hullett Office.
• Mosquitoes, deer flies and black flies are
a nuisance during summer months. To
relieve some of the bother, cover with
suitable clothing and use insect repellents.
• Visitors are asked to respect regulations
and leave the area as attractive as they
found it.

The Friends of Hullett’s PheasantProgram
Pheasant
CHALLENGEUpdate
This project is no easy feat though. Aside from the
large cost of the birds, feed and supplies, a large
amount of time is spent raising them.
As the birds arrive they are fitted with specs. These devices
sit in front of their eyes and discourage them from fighting
and pecking at each other. As a result, when the birds are
released in the fall they have longer tails and are nice and
healthy. The specs still allow the birds to feed and drink and
do not affect their peripheral vision, which they rely most
upon.
Of course the pheasants are checked, fed and watered on a
regular basis. But even this takes time. When the birds are
going through a growth spurt they can easily eat 200kg of
food a day. The automatic waterers are temperamental at
best and have the uncanny knack of working one day but
not the next.
Staff is ever wary of predators and disease. The pens are
checked on a regular basis for holes and sick birds. A hungry
mink or raccoon or owl can kill many birds if precautions
aren’t taken. Similarly, if a bird is acting strange it is quickly
separated from the rest of the flock and watched closely. In
the worst cases a whole pen may develop an illness and will
require medication and additional care.
In 2002 all of this hard work translated into 387 man-hours.
Thankfully the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources allows
the Friends of Hullett to have a pheasant challenge. The
pheasant challenge is in its 6th year and continues to be
successful. It allows the Friends of Hullett to generate a little
money from this very costly project.
Select birds are fitted with a leg band. Participants of the
pheasant challenge redeem the band and their $10 ticket to
receive a corresponding prize. The prizes range in value from
$20 to $150. Inevitably prizes are left over at
the end of the season for which a draw is
held. All monies generated by the challenge
are put back into purchasing birds and
supplies the following year. Ten dollars is a
small cost to pay to enjoy the pheasant at
Hullett and we encourage everyone to
participate in the pheasant challenge
although it is not necessary.
If you require more information about the
Pheasant Challenge, wish to purchase a
ticket or have an item to donate as a prize
please contact the office at (519) 482-7011. ■
Raising and releasing 1,700 ring-necked pheasants every year is what attracts hundreds of visitors to Hullett annually.

DID YOUknow...
...Ring NeckedPheasants havebeen known to
eat their owneggshells.
Any way you choose, remember to try and
record identification of the people involved
in a violation. Information such as vehicle
licence numbers and descriptions of
people, especially what they were wearing,
can provide valuable information we can
use to help us apprehend the violator.
Each year seems to bring it’s own
challenges and last hunting season was no
exception. One problem we encountered
was a group of waterfowl hunters in “A”
zone ‘wandering’ too far from their blind
stake. Remember, you must be within a 30
metre radius of your stake. Let’s also
remember to respect the people who have
paid for the opportunity to hunt in the
Whitetail Swamp. The people have spent
their money and entered the lottery to
experience this unique type of flooded
timber hunt. The lottery takes place after
July 31st each year and is a fundraiser for
the Friends of Hullett. Money raised
provides the FoH with the ability to
maintain this prime facility for us all to
experience.
Another challenge we face has been with
people determined to have loaded firearms
on, as well as shooting from, the roadways
around Hullett. Not only is this a dangerous
practice, it also sets a bad example for
younger hunters and those that may not
be supportive of this type of activity. As
stated in this pamphlet, most roadways
within Hullett are considered as
‘maintained’, therefore you cannot have a
loaded firearm while walking upon them.
We hope that as you head out to Hullett
you remember to bring along your common
sense, courtesy, and sense of fair play. And if
you have the opportunity, bring along a
young person! They, too, can experience the
great Ontario outdoors and benefit from a
mentor such as you.
We hope to see you there.

Being such a diverse area, patrolling the HullettWildlife Area is both challenging and rewarding. Wehave the pleasure of meeting the facility users during
various seasons of the year. From the bird watchers and dogtrainers in the spring, to the hunters in the fall. We even runinto hikers and snowshoers brave enough to face the coldOntario winters.
It never ceases to amaze us how well all of the diverse user
groups get along and respect each other. However, there are
always a few that manage to make themselves known in a
negative way by spoiling it for other people using the area.
Whether it is just a lack of common courtesy or a violation
of the applicable laws, we are interested in hearing about
your concerns and are always willing to help you if we can.
So please, if you would like to report something, you have
several options for doing this.
You can call either of us direct at one of the numbers listed
on this page, including the Clinton office. You can contact
the Hullett staff and they can assist you in getting in touch
with us. As well, MNR has a new 24 hour violation reporting
line. The number is 1-877-TIPS-MNR (1-877-847-7667). Staff
there will ask questions to assist you with reporting what
you saw. You are not required to leave your name, however
it does help us if we need further information and we
always like to call back and thank those that help us to
protect the environment.

ZONE ‘A’HUNTING REGULATIONS:Zone A is a waterfowl only unit
consisting of 1020 ha (2520 ac.) of
land of which 680 ha (1680 ac.) are
flooded with shallow open water.
The average water depth within the
five compartments is approximately
50 cm (20 in.)
Within Zone A there are 50 Hunting
Stations available. You may hunt in
Zone A under the following
conditions:
To hunt in Zone A on the generalopening Saturday of Waterfowlseason (this does not apply to theearly Goose season when scheduled):Hunters are required to participate
in a draw conducted by the FOH and
MNR. The intent of the draw is to
ensure an equitable allocation of
hunting opportunities and
encourage a safe hunt for everyone.
The draw takes place on Friday at
noon (the day before opening day).To participate in the draw, waterfowl
hunters must register at the ‘Main
Parking Lot’ for each day’s hunt.
Registration time begins at 10 am
Friday morning.
The draw is made at 12 o’clock noon.
Draw Procedure:The draw determines the order of
choice for hunting stakes, not the
stake itself.
The first fifty (50) motor vehicles will
qualify for the draw (UNOCCUPIEDVEHICLES are not eligible).In the event that all fifty (50) stakes
are not taken in the draw, the
remaining stakes will be allocated
on the first come, first served basis.
Though two (2) people may occupy a
hunting stake, only one (I) draw per
vehicle will be permitted.
Upon registration, hunters will
receive a Hunter Validation/ Harvest
Card (HV/HC), at which time hunters
are to deposit a piece of
identification (NOT any licenserequired to hunt, possess firearms, oroperate a vehicle) with the parking
lot operator. Identification will be
returned to the hunter at the
conclusion of the hunt after his daily
harvest has been checked.
Information collected on birds
checked is used for managing
waterfowl in Ontario.
The HV/HC MUST be displayed in a
manner so that it can be easily seen,
preferably on the dash of the
vehicle.
If there are any questions about this
process, please call (519) 482-7011.
To hunt in Zone A after opening day:To provide a fair and equal
opportunity to all hunters after the
opening day of waterfowl season,
hunters that arrive before 5:00 a.m.
MUST:
• line up in the Main Parking Lot on
a first come, first served basis at
one of the numbered parking
barriers that corresponds to one
of fifty (50) hunting stakes.
• After 5 a.m., hunters MUST
proceed to the parking lot
corresponding with the stake
number they have selected to
hunt from.
Throughout the waterfowl seasonin Zone A:1. You may hunt in Zone A ONLY if
you park your vehicle in a
NUMBERED space in Zone A des-
ignated parking lot. The number
of your space permits you to hunt
at the stake with the same num-
ber. Stake locations are shown on
the accompanying map. If you are
not hunting a stake you may not
park in front of the numbered
space.
2. A maximum of two (2) persons at
one (1) stake and you must remain
within a thirty (30) metre radius
of your stake.
3. Shotguns must be UNLOADED
AND ENCASED unless you are at
your stake.
4. Legal game is defined by federal
and provincial legislation.
5. Portable blinds may be used. No
person shall cut any vegetation
nor erect and leave a blind of any
fashion in Zone A.
6. Decoys may be used in accordance
with federal and provincial legislation.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:Trail and channel markers are placed
to help you find some stakes. The
markers and stake numbers will
show up in the beam of a flashlight.
We urge all hunters to scout the
area ahead of time and take a
compass with you. Many stakes will
be almost impossible to find in the
dark unless you know the area well.

Hunting at HullettRules and Regulations
Hunting is permitted at Hullett daily during open hunting seasons. All provincialand federal hunting regulations are in effect. Provincial and some federalregulations are contained in the latest issue of the “Ontario Hunting RegulationsSummary”, which is available at offices of the Ontario Ministry of NaturalResources and from license issuers. Migratory bird regulations can be found on theweb following links starting at http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/enforcement/hunting.In addition, there are several Regulations and Restrictions that apply specificallyto Hullett.Zone A and Zone B Regulations and Restrictions outlined as follows:The Hullett Hunting Area is divided into two Wildlife Management Zones, Zone“A” and Zone “B”. The South Maitland River is the internal boundary between thetwo Zones.Other boundary lines are signed and/or adjacent to private property.

most of their lives underground in tunnels and burrows.
Their front paws usually face outward which allows for
easier burrowing. Moles have very small eyes, which are the
size of a pinhead or less! In this part of Ontario you can find
two different types of Talpidae; the Star Nosed Mole
(Condylura cristata), which has a nose surrounded by fleshy
like projections, and the Hairytail Mole (Parascalopsbreweri), which is the smallest of the eastern moles, only
140 mm or less in body length!
The most familiar rodent is of course the mouse! Written
about by the famous Robert Burns in a poem and
mentioned in ‘The Night Before Christmas’, everyone knows
about the mouse. There are several families of mouse found
in the Hullett Marsh, the White-footed Mouse (Peromyscusleucopus), and the very common Deer Mouse (Peromyscusmaniculatus), which belong to the family Cricetidae. The
House Mouse (Mus musculus), which is part of the family
Muridae along with the Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus), can
be found anywhere humans have gone. The third family of
mice found in Hullet are the jumping mice, family
Zapodidae. The two species from this family at the Hullett
Marsh are the Meadow Jumping Mouse (Zapus hudsonius)
and the Woodland Jumping Mouse (Napaeozapus insignis).
The Woodland Jumping Mouse is known to be a good
swimmer.
Voles, which are, like the mouse, part of the Cricetidae
family, can also be found at Hullett. The Boreal Redback Vole
(Clethrionomys gapperi) and the Meadow Vole (Microtuspennsylvanicus) are both found in this area. Voles are very
small and can be confused with mice, except for the fact
that voles have very small ears while the ears of mice are
very apparent. Voles also have much shorter tails.
While all of these creatures are small among the great
mammals of North America, without them many food
chains would crumble and many birds, reptiles and
mammals would not be able to sustain themselves. Small
mammals are studied because they are easily trapped and
handled, and they are good bio-indicators. This means that
they are very sensitive towards slight changes in the
environment, and their response to change could be taken
as early warning signs. ■
Rodents are often viewed as pests
and something to be rid of. However,
rodents are a cornerstone to entire
ecosystems. They are food for owls and
carnivorous mammals and reptiles. They
breakdown natural refuse (leaves and
twigs), and eat large numbers of insects.
Small mammals also burrow and create
tunnels underground. This helps aerate the
soil, and healthy soil is vital to a strong
environment. Humans do not see many of
these small mammals on a regular basis,
due to their nocturnal behavior. They spend
a great part of their lives underground, and
they do not leave large tracks or signs of
their presence and are fairly shy. However in
the winter one is able to see small
footprints and trails leading to and from
trees, burrows and streams.
Shrews are small mammals, which have a
small pointed nose and 5 toes on each foot.
The shrew is a part of the Insectivora order
and the Soricidae family.There are 4 types of
Shrew that can be found in Hullett: the
Masked Shrew (Sorex cinereus), the Pygmy
Shrew (Microsorex hoyi), the Smoky Shrew
(Sorex fumeus) and the Short-tail Shrew
(Blarina brevicauda). These small mammals
are known for having an extremely high
heart beat. In captivity some shrews have
had a recorded heartbeat of 120 beats per
minute. These animals, if handled
inappropriately, will die of heart failure.
Another small rodent species, which can be
confused with shrews, are moles. Moles live

Wading in unfamiliar waters can be extremely dangerous. Chest
waders will be required in most cases. Keep in mind that OPEN
water can mean DEEP water, especially near dykes.
Skybusting shows poor sportsmanship and results in crippled
birds. This is strongly discouraged at Hullett. Know your shotgun
and its limitations.
Hunting waterfowl with lead shot is illegal, as inferred in the
regulations made pursuant to the Migratory Birds Convention Act.
Due to management practices, water levels may fluctuate and
shorelines may change.
Some stakes may be closed at the MNR’s discretion during certain
periods to restrict hunting activity near waterfowl banding sites. If
done, notice will be posted at the parking space for that stake.
A retriever or canoe will be necessary at many sites to ensure
retrieval of all birds shot. Hunters are required to recover downed
game.
Access to Hunting Stakes:Walk-in (chest waders highly recommended): 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 27, 28,
30, 32, 34, 46, 48. Canoe recommended at all other stakes.
NOTE: Some stakes may be shut down during the early goose
season for waterfowl leg banding.
ZONE ‘B’ HUNTING REGULATIONS:Zone B is comprised of 1080 ha (2670 ac.) of upland habitat,interspersed with 14 wetland areas, 130ha (320 ac.) in size. Allgame for which there is an open season may be hunted with thefollowing conditions:1. From Sept 1 - Dec. 31 all hunters must park in one of 14 designated
parking lots (identified by the letter P) and position their vehicle
in front of an individual barrier. This parking space permits all
hunters in the vehicle to hunt ANYWHERE in Zone B, BUT NOT in
Zone A.
2. Night hunting for raccoon is illegal without proper license from
OMNR, and coordination with the Friends of Hullett is requested.
Additional Comments:Pheasants may be released at intervals through the fall hunting
season and may be hunted. At times Bobwhite Quail may also be
found on the property.
At present, Quail may NOT be hunted. ■

Hunting Opportunities for the Physically Challenged
With the cooperative efforts of the Friends ofHullett, Ministry of Natural Resources and the
Middlesex Hunting Retriever Club, two
wheelchair accessible duck blinds are available at the
Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area.
The original blind is located off the 21-42 parking lot.
Ninety metres of boardwalk takes hunters to the blind
that sits in a secluded opening surrounded by flooded
timber. The small pond often has small flocks of wood
ducks and mallards in it. The White tail swamp is close by
and allows for good pass shooting.
The second handicapped accessible blind is located off
the 43-50 parking lot. This blind was finished in 2005 with
the help of staff, volunteers and the Ministry of Natural
Resources Stewardship Rangers. The gravel path and
boardwalk total 1300 feet in length. The blind itself sits in
one of a series of ponds. Cattails, flooded timber and
nearby bush and agriculture fields make this area suitable
for a variety of puddle ducks and Canadian geese.
The motive behind creating a second blind was to offer
the hunters not only a quality outdoor experience but
also a choice. The Friends of Hullett hope users will find
the new location an excellent choice for waterfowl
hunting.
These blinds are intended for use by the physically
challenged that possess the proper identification! They
may be accompanied by an able bodied companion, who
may also hunt. We encourage you to visit the site, but
please do not disturb the hunters if the blind is occupied.
To reserve a blind please contact the office at

Area you can see over most of the marsh. They
are perfect for viewing waterfowl and wildlife
such as beaver, muskrats, mink and deer. The
dyke tops, sometimes rising 8 meters above the
water’s surface, are great locations for
photographers and bird watchers. The HPWA
provides habitat for over 180 species of birds and
over 400 plant species.

Where there is permanent water there are bound tobe fish. Although the ponds at Hullett do contain
fish, they do not support a sport fishery. The fish
species sought after by anglers aren’t available in any great
size or abundance and it all relates to the conditions present
in the ponds.
The ponds at Hullett were designed to be shallow to provide
better wetland conditions. The shallow conditions, along
with decreasing water levels and increasing water
temperatures during the summer puts limitations on fish
production in the ponds. As well, because of the ice and
snow cover, shallow nature of the ponds and the large
amount of oxygen consumed by the decay of aquatic plants,
low oxygen conditions often develop in the winter. This
condition, known as “winterkill”, results in frequent die offs
of many fish, especially larger ones that require more
oxygen to survive. These die offs are very evident in the
spring and are a natural occurrence in many shallow ponds
and lakes.
Despite the less than ideal conditions, the ponds at Hullett
do contain suckers, pumpkinseed, brown bullheads and a
variety of minnows. Despite the pond’s lack of game fish,
they do provide important food to fish-eating birds such as
grebes, mergansers, herons and kingfishers.
Although there are few fishing opportunities in the ponds
themselves, the South Maitland River, which runs through
the property, does contain smallmouth bass, forage species
including members of the minnow, catfish and sucker
families and even migrating trout and salmon. ■

DID YOU know…...wildlife causes some $45 million in crop damage
each year, and the costs are increasing.
HullettTurkeys at
I n Ontario, turkey hunters spend an estimated 8.2 million
dollars a year. This is amazing considering that by the
early 1900s, in Canada, the wild turkey was nearly wiped
out. Their numbers have increased due to strict hunting
laws and reintroduction efforts. Wild turkeys can now be
found throughout southern Ontario, including Hullett.
These large game birds have keen eyesight and hearing.
They are strong fliers and can run up to 29 km/hr over short
distances. Due to their habitat, turkeys feed mainly on
plants but will also eat fruits, berries, insects and spiders.
They roost in trees at night but lay their eggs on the ground
in a depression.
To date there is a small turkey population at Hullett. Hullett
was never a release site so birds that are here migrated to
the area from nearby release sites. There have been some
nice mature male Toms spotted but most of the small flock
consists of immature males, or jakes, and hens. At Hullett
the wild turkeys are often seen on spring mornings, north of
Conservation Road, along the field edges foraging for food
and strutting their stuff. ■

Owls are known for their haunting of the night. Often
they are feared as evil creatures. But all of this is
nonsense; the owl is an amazing bird, one of great
power, speed, agility, stealth and poise. In The Hullet
Provincial Wildlife Area, several species of owl can be found,
they are the Snowy Owl, Great Horned Owl, Long Eared Owl,
Short Eared Owl, Eastern Screech Owl, and the Northern
Saw-Whet Owl.
Owls are characterized by the fact that they are carnivorous,
have hooked beaks, large curved claws, and they swallow
their food whole. Another owl characteristic is that they
cannot move their eyes; in order to change their view they
must rotate their head. Owls can turn their head a
phenomenal 270’ each way, and 90’ vertically! Owls also
have excellent vision when it comes to seeing great
distances, particularly during the night. This helps them
locate prey in the distance. But they are farsighted and
cannot see clearly at close range, just a few inches in front
of their face. These predators locate their prey by using sight
and sound. Owls use hearing to center in on their prey,
which are often under the cover of leaves or snow. An owl’s
hearing is particularly good since they have a facial disk.
This (facial disk) is an arrangement of feathers that
protrude slightly around the face forming a disk, with the
beak being the center. This is thought to allow sounds to be
“reflected” back into the owl’s ears, and therefore allowing
the bird to locate its prey with great precision. Once owls
have located their prey, they fly silently so as not to frighten
away their prey, they then land on their prey with their
claws to prevent escape.
H U L L E T T P R O V I N C I A L W I L D L I F E A R E A U S E R G U I D E16
the daylight hours. This owl stands about 35 cm high and
has a wingspan of 41 cm. A peculiar trait is that it nests on
the ground, whereas most other owls nest above ground
level.
The Eastern Screech Owl (Otus asio) is commonly found in
the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area sleeping in duck boxes
during the winter months. This is a very small owl, only
reaching a maximum height up to 25 cm and a wingspan of
55 cm. This owl can tighten up its feathers in order to
camouflage itself to look like a stick when it feels
threatened. This owl uses forest edges and riparian areas to
hunt and will avoid densely forested areas, for the reason
that the Great Horned Owl primarily uses that habitat.
The Northern Saw-Whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus) is a very
passive bird. This owl is very small - its length is between 12
and 21 cm, it has a wingspan averaging 50 cm and only
weighs up to 110 grams. This owl has a black beak, and has a
white underbelly, with brown splotches. This owl uses the
sit-and-wait technique when hunting.
While these owls may be hard to spot while enjoying the
outdoors at the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area, they are
present and are an integral part of the forest and marsh
ecosystem. They help control small mammal populations
and insect numbers. Their presence also signals that the
environment here is healthy and that large predators are
able to survive. So, as long as you can hear their hoots and
twittering on occasion, you know that at least one part of
the wild is thriving here at Hullett Marsh. ■

Spotlight on resident species at theHullett Provincial
Wildlife AreaOWLSInterior forests are vital for the survival of many forest
birds and animals in southern Ontario. As a result, the
Friends of Hullett, with financial support from the
National Wild Turkey Federation and the OMNR Community
Fisheries and Wildlife Improvement Program, have been
increasing the amount of interior forest at Hullett.
Within forests there are many physical and biological
functions that occur. Microclimates along the edge of
woodlands are sunnier, warmer, windier and drier and
experience more dramatic environmental change. These
conditions reduce the diversity and abundance of insects
and other invertebrates that are important food for wildlife.
Edge zones have also been shown to have more disease,
invasive species and predators than forest interiors. The
extent to which these “edge effects” penetrate into a forest
varies in width depending on what is being measured. As a
rule of thumb, though, managers consider edge effects to
penetrate 100m into a forest.
These edge effects result in a decrease in the number of
animals sensitive to these conditions, increased nest
predation rates, increased nest parasitism rates and an
overall decrease in wildlife diversity. In southern Ontario,
interior forests contain red bats, red squirrels, barred owls,
pileated woodpecker, red trilliums, spring beauties, scarlet
tanager, ruffed grouse, and wild turkey. In comparison, the
wildlife found in edge habitats includes robins, raccoons,

A large mature tract of forest currently exists on the north
west side of Hullett. By filling in 4.5 hectares found within
the tract, the Friends of Hullett will drastically increase the
amount of interior forest from 5 hectares to 20 hectares. This
will result in improved forest health and greater variety and
abundance of animals. ■

Here is a brief description of the owls that can be found in
the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area.
The Snowy Owl (Nyctea scandiaca) is perhaps the most
famous owl. (This may be due to its appearance in the ever-
popular Harry Potter books and movies.) This owl is 50–65
cm tall with a wingspan of 1.5 m.The males of this species are
a bright snowy white, while the females may have brown
vertical bars across their bodies. Both sexes have a round
head with brilliant yellow eyes. This owl will occasionally let
out a very loud hooting sound, but is usually silent. These
owls feed on mice, and must eat about 350 small rodents a
month to sustain themselves.
The Great Horned Owl (Bubo virginianus) can have a
wingspan of 1.2 meters and weigh more than 2 kg, with a
height of 50 cm. The males and females have similar
plumage, a gray underside banded darkly, with white chest
feathers. Their facial disk is a tawny orange. These owls have
tufts of feathers a-top their head resembling horns or ears,
thus their name. This owl will make its home in a forested
and semi-forested area. This owl does not migrate at all;
most owlets never leave the general area in which they were
hatched, and they will stay within an 80 km radius of their
birth-nest.
The Long Eared Owl (Asio otus) stands about 35 cm high, has
a wingspan of about 96 cm and physically resembles the
Great Horned Owl, both which sport ‘ears’. However, the Long
Eared Owl is much smaller, has lateral barring on its
underside and lacks a white bib. This owl lives in thickets and
woodlands but will hunt in open fields, flying low over the
vegetation.
The Short Eared Owl (Asio flammeus) has buff brown
plumage with dark streaking on the back, chest and
underside. This owl can be seen in broad daylight as
compared to other owls that usually remain hidden during 527-221024 HOUR TOWING

April 30th saw the culmination of a 3-
year active quest to burn the
tallgrass prairie at Hullett realized.
In the end, the endeavor was judged a
success. Weather prospects looked less
than ideal as the morning began with
humidity, wind speed and wind direction
being major concerns. With the forecast
calling for rain the next couple of days, it
was possible the burn may be postponed
indefinitely. Mother Nature was on our side
however, as the front stalled and left us a
window to complete the job.
Representatives of the Friends of Hullett,
Huron Stewardship Council, Rural Lambton
Stewardship Council, Central Huron Fire
Department and neighbouring land-
owners were on hand to carry out the burn.
The burn area consisted of 5 plots, or burn
blocks, a total of 5.4 hectares at 81044
Wildlife Line as well as 2 burn blocks, a total
of 5.8 hectares at 40672 Hydro Line Rd.
Ducks Unlimited planted the cultivated
variety of tall grass in 1999. This was done
to offer cover and nesting for waterfowl.
Tall grass once covered 1000 km2 in
Ontario. Now only 21 km2 can be found in
130 remnant sites scattered across the
province. (Tallgrass Ontario –
www.tallgrassontario.org)
The objective of the low complexity
prescribed burn was to promote the health
of the tallgrass prairie species and their
seedbeds at Hullett. To this end, it was
necessary to remove biomass
(decomposing layers of organic matter), eradicate invasive
weeds and woody plants, and renew and sustain the grasses
and the habitat within. Upon meeting the objectives, the
tallgrass prairie environment, utilized by wildlife for shelter
and food, should thrive. The growth point of the native grass
species’ lies underground and was not affected by the blaze
at the surface at all. As a precursor to the burn, each plot had
a 2-meter wide section mowed around the perimeter. In
addition, firebreaks of 1.5 meter wide were made by a chisel
plow to prevent the fire from escaping.
At 11:20 am, the initial fire was ignited by drip torch at 81044
Wildlife Line. Weather was closely monitored to ensure the
safety of the community, fire crew and support staff.
Weather conditions are crucial to several key factors of the
burn. Burn Boss, Jack Chapman and his fire crew executed
the plan without a hitch, and by 3:00 p.m. the 5 plots at the
Wildlife Line site were determined extinguished and the
burn crew and support staff were ready to tie into a fine
lunch. Friends of Hullett board members Duane Inkpen and
Jim Bayne provided an excellent BBQ that was enjoyed by all
present.
Lunch was brought to a halt suddenly, however, when
clouds were noticed on the horizon, threatening to bring
adverse weather into the area jeopardizing the completion
of the project. The crew set off to 40672 Hydro Line Road to
complete the burn, which they were able to do by 6:00 pm.
Smoke from the fire could be seen from Blyth to the north
and Dublin (20 km away) to the southeast. Numerous on-
lookers drove by as we progressed with the burn and media
from the Clinton News-Record and CKNX television reported
on the event.
It is to be seen if the prescribed burn meets the objectives
set out by the Friends of Hullett and Ducks Unlimited.
Hullett Manager, Mat Shetler and his staff will reassess the
grassland areas to assure the objectives of the burn were met.

About one week after the burn, the fields began to show
new growth. By one month’s time, the field was grown in
and completely green again. It was amazing to see the
field’s transformation from thick, dull, and brown to charred
black, and finally to green and vibrant. We’ve been
monitoring the sites on a weekly basis, taking digital photos
and walking tours to make sure invasive, noxious weeds
have been eradicated and tree growth stunted. This
examination will continue until a full conclusion can be made.
Once complete data has been collected and analyzed,
another prescribed burn may be in the cards in the near
future, as well as a more regular maintenance schedule. It
remains to be seen if this course of action is employed, or if
another alternative is tried. Alternate
maintenance programs that may be
adopted in other areas include mowing,
use of agricultural disc, or the application
of pesticides. Each management method
has advantages and disadvantages. If
decided upon, the prescribed burn may
become a regular spring occurrence at
Hullett, as it has been in places like the
Pinery Provincial Park. We’ll have to wait to
see how the story will unfold. ■

Upon inspecting the contents of a nest
box, the presence of light-coloured duck
down, small eggshell fragments and wood
shavings mixed together can indicate that
a hen has successfully hatched her eggs
during the last breeding season.
An important part of the monitoring job is
to collect information, filling out a survey
sheet and sending them into the local DUC
office so that DUC and other staff can track
the success of the nest box program.
Recently, the Canadian Wildlife Service and
DUC have embarked on a project to take
the historical nest box data including
thousands upon thousands of individual
nest box records, to use the information in
building a database of nesting box success
that will hopefully provide key information
about success of the Ontario DUC nesting
box program.
Although this project is in its infancy, some
interesting results have been derived from
a subset of 2,418 surveys.The data indicates
that where boxes are used by waterfowl,
the following species are represented:
• 23% by wood ducks
• 18% by hooded merganser
• 3% by goldeneye
• 29% of boxes are used by other birds
Where boxes have been used by waterfowl
species (44% of all use) the average nest
success rate is an impressive 77%! It
certainly appears that many waterfowl
species benefit from the hard work of all of
the people involved in installing and caring
for the many boxes at Hullett and
throughout Ontario. ■
Ducks Unlimited Canada has nearly 12,000 ducknesting boxes installed throughout Ontario and of
these, there are 147 nest boxes installed on the
Provincially Significant Wetlands of the Hullett Provincial
Wildlife Area. The remaining boxes in Ontario are installed
on a mixture of private and public lands.
The benefit of installing nesting boxes for cavity nesting
waterfowl lies in providing nesting opportunities in areas
where there are few cavity nesting sites. This lack of cavity
nest sites may result in areas where mature standing timber
near wetlands is not present or has been removed or in
areas where the standing dead timber has decayed and
fallen down.
After installation, all of the nest boxes must be maintained
on an annual basis. This means that they must be cleaned
out over each fall or winter, checked for nesting success and
replenished with new wood shavings. The “Friends of
Hullett” volunteers and staff, in partnership with Ducks
Unlimited Canada, undertake all of the regular
maintenance and monitoring of the boxes installed at
Hullett. Landowners, volunteers and private contractors all
help to maintain and monitor the many nest boxes installed
throughout Ontario.

A nyone who visits the Hullett Provincial Wildlife Area
(HPWA) is bound to discover the richness of wild
plant and animal life found within the various
habitats of the Marsh. An amazing multitude of species
resides here on either a permanent or temporary basis
throughout the year. Of these, there are particular species
whose populations are at risk of extinction to some degree,
on a provincial and/or national level. The prevalence of
Species at Risk (SAR) at the Hullett Marsh has become an
issue of increasing importance, and a focal point of the work
currently being done at the HPWA.
The status of Species at Risk is monitored and assessed by a
number of provincial and national organizations, including

Each Saturday, beginning with the
regular opening day of waterfowl
season, there will be two guided
hunts for ducks and geese within the
normally restricted Whitetail Swamp.
The hunts take place in a flooded timber
area of Hullett Marsh where hunters are
not allowed access to at any other time of
the season. At times, this swamp holds
thousands of ducks and the two hunting
stakes are placed in an area that is very
attractive to them.
The hunts begin at the legal shooting time
and will end at 1:00 pm.Two hunters, along
with a volunteer guide and dog, will hunt
from each stake. The guides provide decoys
and a trained retriever. The selected
hunters must be in good physical
condition and able to wade in knee to hip-
high water. The hunters provide their own
guns, ammunition, waders, camouflage
clothing, and refreshments. No alcohol will be tolerated.
Each of the hunters are allowed their legal limit of ducks and
geese. No ducks are to be shot and allotted to the guide’s
limit. Mallards, Teal, and Woodies are the species most
frequently harvested.
The hunters are chosen by lottery on July 31 for each year. To
enter the lottery, one hunter must submit a cheque for
$150.00 to the “Friends of Hullett” prior to July 31. Each
hunter is allowed only one draw. Successful applicants are
notified soon after the draw, in the order in which they are
drawn, and asked to schedule one of the available hunting
dates. Depending on the season, 14 to 18 hunts occur. The
$150 is the cost for two hunters for the chosen day. All
applicants will be notified by phone.
All the money raised through the hunts goes directly to the
Hullett Marsh. The guides are volunteers and are not paid
from the proceeds.
If you want a unique hunting experience and would like to
help raise money for Hullett, please apply. Send cheques to the
address in the sidebar. ■
the Committee on the Status of Endangered
Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), the
Committee on the Status of Species at Risk
in Ontario (COSSARO) and the Natural
Heritage Information Centre (NHIC). Species
are categorized based on their relative
abundance as one of the following: Not at
Risk; Special Concern/(Vulnerable) (speciessensitive to human activities or naturalevents); Threatened (at risk of becomingendangered); Endangered (facing imminentextinction or extirpation); Extirpated (speciesno longer exists in the wild in a specific localebut still exists elsewhere); Extinct (species nolonger exists anywhere); and Data Deficient/
(Indeterminate) (insufficient information
exists for a status recommendation).
Species at Risk have had their populations
jeopardized due to an array of potential
factors, such as degradation and loss of
habitat, both natural and human-induced,
environmental changes, competition with
other species, and human activities and
persecution. There are eleven (11) confirmed
SAR within the HPWA, and another seven (7)
unconfirmed species which may be at risk or
susceptible to land use impacts within the
Marsh. With the role of the HPWA as a
consumptive and non-consumptive
resource that is used extensively by the
public, it is imperative that we learn more
about the specific influences our actions
have on established sensitive areas, and find
ways to address their needs in association
with our own.
As part of our initiative to accomplish this
aim of recognizing Species at Risk within
the context of the Hullett Marsh, we are
working to identify the key areas in which
SAR occur on the property. We will then use
this information to create a Species at Risk
Management Plan, which will serve to
adapt appropriate management techniques
as part of the Hullett Wildlife Habitat
Management Plan. In this way, we can
ensure that the priorities associated with
Species at Risk are respected while
maintaining a balance in the enjoyment of
our natural resources. ■

Hullett Marsh is one of a number of
Provincial Wildlife Areas managed
by the Ministry of Natural
Resources in southern Ontario. This user
guide provides information on the diverse
array of high-quality hiking, bird-watching,
hunting and outdoor recreational
opportunities that are available on the site.
With 5400 acres of land, the property can
offer unique experiences for your outdoor
enjoyment. Explore and enjoy all that
Hullett has to offer!
The property consists of a diverse array of
wildlife habitat highlighted by a man-
made system of shallow
marshes, and naturally
occurring hardwood
swamps. They
accompany the
floodplain of
the South
M a i t l a n d
River, all of
which is
bordered by
r o l l i n g
u p l a n d s
comprised of
woodlots, grass
meadows and
agricultural fields. The
chart on this page
identifies the composition of
the habitat types that exist at Hullett.
A Wildlife Habitat Management Plan has
been developed to identify how the Area’s habitat features
are to be managed. This plan is intended to establish long-
term direction for land management decision-making, to
identify what actions are needed, and to assist with
determining priorities for operational implementation. The
plan was released in the early summer of 2007, and was
placed on the government’s Environmental Registry for
public comment. The comment period will have ended by
the time this user guide is printed. Please feel free to obtain
an electronic copy of the plan from the Friends of Hullett
(FOH) or MNR, and let us know if you have any comments on
our management activities.
The FOH provide an essential service at Hullett through the
development and delivery of their programs, and their
ability to hire staff. On behalf of MNR I am pleased
to recognize all the accomplishments of the
Friends, their members and directors,
and the Hullett staff. The efforts of
these dedicated people provide an
impressive array of high quality
services at the Marsh. Please
join me in thanking them!
There is always more that can
be done on the property. If you
enjoy the activities that are
available at Hullett, perhaps
you would be interested in
playing a role to enable additional
projects and services to occur. The
Friends are always looking for more
active members who share their interest
in making the property the best it can be. All
users of Hullett have the opportunity to become a
member of the Friends, and attend their annual general
meeting to discuss and direct their programs and activities. ■
