Summary

The January 1976 Beaver Beacon summarizes the 1975 deer season with 85 deer killed by 338 hunters on Beaver Island, 5 by 21 hunters on Garden Island, 6 taken by bow and arrow, and 96 deer killed across all seasons.

Evidence and limits

The table preserves the newspaper’s reported counts and date ranges. It is kept separate from the November Game News estimate of deer carried off the island: the two notices may overlap in subject but have different reporting scopes. The January table is not treated as a complete permit return, hunter roster, or official wildlife dataset.
