Summary
The February 1968 Beaver Beacon described snowmobile-enabled rabbit hunting, including seven rabbits taken on a Garden Island trip and abundant rabbits on Hog Island. It also reported a turkey-feeding area south of town, two turkeys killed by violators, deer remaining outside the most heavily browsed yards, and the continuing debate over coyote pressure.
