Summary
The February 1974 Beaver Beacon Game News describes winter deer, rabbit, fox, and coyote conditions and reports that Bill Wagner and Dick Burris cut about ten acres of small poplar to provide browse and cover. Sheldon Parker’s account also describes a rabbit-hunting visit to Garden Island over an ice bridge.
Evidence and limits
The account is a source-bounded wildlife and habitat report, not a census or formal management record. The intended additional cutting, wildlife condition, and Garden and High Island observations are not treated as measured outcomes.
