Summary

The September 1968 Beaver Beacon reported that some partridge had been taken, that the Conservation Department was flushing partridge on High Island at a rate of about five per hour, and that no deer had yet been taken by bow. It also reported an unnamed angler’s 5 1/4-pound smallmouth bass from Lake Geneserath.
