Summary
During the 2014 late-fall hunting seasons, the Beaver Island Wildlife Club coordinated voluntary deer checks, distributed hunter patches, and collected harvest information. It distinguished ordinary data collection from optional aging based on retained lower jaws.
Evidence limits
The forum documents the monitoring process, not total harvest, participation, sample quality, or a biological conclusion.
