Summary
January 1975 Game News describes rabbit hunting as the island’s main winter field activity. It reports many rabbits, new young hunters, ammunition shortages, and an expectation that the harbor ice would soon support ice fishing.
Evidence and limits
This is a community field report, not a wildlife census, harvest survey, or fisheries assessment.
