Summary

The Beaver Island Game Club met in October 1969 to discuss future projects. It asked the Department of Natural Resources to make sample nettings for lake trout and coho, proposed remarking old trails and making new ones, and scheduled a November 17 Hunter’s Banquet at Holy Cross Hall with a narrated polar-bear hunting film.

Evidence and limits

The issue records plans and an announced banquet, not the results of a fish survey, trail project, or final banquet accounting.

Open questions

  • Did the DNR conduct the requested sample nettings for lake trout and coho, and what did the results show?
  • Which trails were remarked or newly made under this plan, and do any of them survive as a mapped or walked route today?

If you can answer any of these, or correct anything above, the archive wants to hear it — see Corrections.
