Summary

At its April 24, 1984 meeting, the Game Club discussed a deer-poaching reward, fish planting in Font Lake and Beaver Ponds, deer forage crops, and routine club expenses.

Evidence limits

The report records motions and intended expenditures, not arrests, stocking completion, fish counts, or later wildlife outcomes.

Sources

  1. Reports new bylaws, a $500 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of illegal deer killers, $1,000 for tiger muskies in Font Lake, $600 for brook trout in Beaver Ponds, meeting-space and file-cabinet expenses, and discussion of crops for deer. It is a club minutes report, not an enforcement case, stocking permit, fisheries survey, or wildlife-management outcome. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.
