Summary
The Beaver Island Game Club reported several proposed conservation projects in April 1974: restoring wild turkeys, studying pheasants, improving harbor fishing with Mackinaw trout, cutting state timber for browse, burning huckleberry marshes, and testing new deer mineral blocks.
Evidence and limits
These are proposals discussed at a special meeting. The source says turkey restocking depended on DNR funds and live-trapping, and that trout fingerlings would need protection from pike; it does not establish approval, funding, planting, harvest, burning, or later results.
