Summary
The November 1967 Beaver Beacon announced the Game Club’s November 20 Hunter’s Banquet at Holy Cross Hall. The December issue reported that 137 deer were taken during the season, highlighted L. Z. Reigle’s 188-pound eight-point buck and a two-deer Garden Island hunt, and described the banquet’s proceeds and dues as intended for habitat improvement.
Evidence and limits
These are newspaper totals and examples, not a state harvest register. The article does not give hunting effort, a complete island-by-island breakdown, or a banquet financial statement.
Open questions
