Summary
The December 1972 Beaver Beacon reported that hunters took approximately 25 to 30 deer on Beaver Island and three on Garden Island during the 1972 season. It also noted one accidentally shot doe recovered by Officer Wagner, several mange- affected coyotes, snowshoe-hare hunting, and the December 1 return of partridge as legal game.
Evidence and limits
