Summary
The Beaver Island Wildlife Club reported beginning work on a walleye rearing pond after securing a landowner agreement, although late-September rain paused excavation. Members also discussed rye and wheat plots for deer habitat and supplemental winter turkey feeding, with a Hunters’ Dinner scheduled for November 17, 2002.
Evidence limits
The report documents plans and early work, not pond completion, stocking, or wildlife-population outcomes.
