Summary

Lois Williams’s January 2005 feature reflects on the 2004 deer season from a Beaver Island hunting blind. Alongside the missed opportunity to take an eight-point buck, it records observations of ravens, barking squirrels, a mouse, and other wildlife around the blind.

Evidence limits

This is a first-person newspaper nature and hunting feature, not a wildlife survey, harvest census, or complete account of the Island’s 2004 season.
