Summary

In March 1965, the Beaver Beacon warned island dog owners against disturbing rabbits and deer during closed seasons. It emphasized that rabbits were beginning to have young, deer could be weakened by winter, and dogs running deer could be killed by a law-enforcement officer.

Evidence and limits

The notice preserves the newspaper’s warning and source-attributed legal claim. It does not document a citation, enforcement action, or complete statute.

Sources
