Summary

The Game Club’s November 17, 1984 Hunters Dinner drew approximately 130 people to Holy Cross Hall. Its report also estimated 65–70 bucks taken on the island and described a November 21 meeting with DNR leadership about replacing the island officer.

Evidence limits

The harvest number is a club estimate and not a wildlife census. The DNR discussion records advocacy and a possible shared-cost idea, not an appointment.
