Summary

In April and May 2014, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club solicited reports of adult and yearling deer for a spring observation effort requested by DNR biologist Mark Monroe. The notices asked observers to record location, date, and counts and continued collection through Memorial Weekend.

Evidence limits

This record documents a community data-collection effort, not a completed population estimate, official DNR report, or independently validated count.

  1. Wildlife Club notices said DNR biologist Mark Monroe requested observations of 200 different deer to estimate yearlings and older deer before fawning; follow-up posts continued the collection through Memorial Weekend. Individual sightings are community observations and do not constitute a completed population estimate or official DNR result.
