Summary
The fall 1973 game report says hunters were finding plentiful partridge and woodcock, while the rabbit population had returned to a high range. Deer numbers remained unimpressive; the report hoped that more bucks-only seasons would rebuild the herd. Southbound geese were becoming a daily sight.
