Sources
- Reports that trapping began under difficult conditions, beavers were slow to move, and trappers expected to fill their quotas with warmer weather. It also reports sightings of fat, healthy deer, one dead deer attributed to coyotes, and coyotes becoming numerous. It does not provide licenses, quotas, counts, carcass examination, or wildlife survey data. The holding institution's portal restricts automated access; the archive holds a copy of this issue and can provide it on request.data1 · beaver-island-archive · beaver_beacon · 1959-04_Beaver-Beacon
- The held four-page issue PDF is paired with the canonical OCR source and confirms the trapping and wildlife report; it does not expand the biological or regulatory record.data1 · beaver-island-archive · scans · beaver_beacon · issues · 1959-04_Beaver-Beacon
