Summary
The September 15, 1974 small-game opening was reported as favorable for rabbits and squirrels but poor for partridge. The notice also says woodcock were early, ducks and geese plentiful, and fishing relatively good at Barney’s, Fox, and Lake Geneserath despite high winds on the big lake.
Evidence and limits
This is a community field report, not a wildlife census, harvest survey, or fisheries assessment. The named lake associations are preserved as reported and are not treated as exclusive habitat claims.
