Summary

The March 1963 Beaver Beacon reports the end of rabbit season, turkeys near the airport, one coyote taken after a chase, three fox caught in Eddie Wojan’s traps, and large perch from Cable’s Bay nets. It also says Civic Association films had returned from mainland presentations and were available to groups.

Evidence and limits

These are local newspaper observations and a circulation notice, not wildlife surveys, catch logs, or a screening register.
