The December 2011 Beaver Beacon describes fall 2011 as Beaver Island’s first deer season under three-on-a-side antler-point restrictions. It also reports that private hunting camps had practiced basic Quality Deer Management through food plots and selective harvest, with local participants expressing support for protecting young bucks.
Evidence limits
The article records local observations and attributed opinions; it does not provide a complete harvest dataset or establish the later biological effect of the restrictions.
