Summary
In January 2016, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club announced a turkey survey for February 1–7 and a deer-driving survey from mid-July through the end of September. The proposed counts would record flock locations and deer by sex and age class, with gas stipends for route volunteers. The Club also sought youth participants and mentors.

- The Club followed up by asking residents to count wild turkeys in their flocks and report totals by February 13. This confirms active recruitment for the count, but not the resulting total or survey completeness.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 09 · t009875
- The Club asked residents to count regularly seen and stray turkey flocks during February 1–7 and volunteers to drive a route at least weekly from mid-July through the end of September, recording bucks, does, and fawns; it offered a gas stipend. The notice also reported club statements about coyote distemper, avian pox in turkeys, and a hare with tapeworm cysts, and invited youth ages 5–25 and mentors into club projects. The survey notice documents intended methods and outreach, not completed counts or independently verified diagnoses.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 09 · t009835
