The September 1967 Beaver Beacon reported that small-game hunting opened on High and Garden Islands on September 15 and that bow hunting was underway on Beaver Island. Duane Newstead had taken a six-point buck; the issue also printed summarized hunter, effort, sighting, and kill statistics for the three islands.
