Summary
The May 1960 Beaver Beacon reported that Beaver Island’s trapping season had ended and gave three informal catch totals: 11, 7, and 37 for named groups.
Evidence and limits
These are newspaper-reported stories, not a species-specific harvest register or wildlife survey. The identities of “the Carlisles and Wojans” are not resolved.
Open questions
- Which conservation or trapping records identify the species, participants, and total harvest?
