Summary
The November 1965 Beaver Beacon reported a poor bird season and five deer taken with bow and arrow. It singled out Harry Wanty’s six-point buck and said the Island expected a full house of hunters for the opening week of deer season.
Evidence and limits
This is a local newspaper game report, not an official harvest register, wildlife census, or complete accommodation ledger.
