Summary
The March 1965 Beaver Beacon says rabbit season had ended after a successful run and reports Erwin Martin counting 44 turkeys at the airport. Walt and Vera Wogan photographed the birds, while ice fishing had largely stopped.
Evidence and limits
These are local observations and a seasonal conclusion, not a wildlife census, harvest ledger, or independent fisheries record. The bubble-gum fishing method is preserved as humor, not as a completed activity.
Sources
- Reports the end of a successful rabbit season, 44 turkeys counted at the airport by Erwin Martin, photographs taken by Walt and Vera Wogan, and the end of ice fishing except for a humorous proposed bubble-gum method attributed to “Poor Milt.” It is community reporting, not a wildlife census, survey, or harvest register.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1965-03_Beaver-Beacon
- The held six-page issue scan is paired with the OCR source and confirms the published notice or report; it does not expand the source-specific identity, event, or outcome claims.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1965-03_Beaver-Beacon
