Summary
For the 1966 small-game season, Michigan’s Department of Conservation opened a special no-bag-limit partridge season on Garden and High Islands beginning September 15. The Beacon instructed hunters to hold a small-game license, obtain a permit through the Beaver Island conservation officer, and check in before and after visiting the islands.
Evidence and limits
The August issue is an advance notice and the September issue reports the rules in operation. The articles do not supply the order number, enforcement record, or official harvest total, and they explicitly distinguish Garden and High Islands from Beaver Island’s daily bag limit.
Open questions
- Which conservation order authorized the season?
- What was the official harvest and enforcement outcome?
