Beaver Island Wildlife Club News
The Beaver Island Wildlife Club met on April 10th to discuss
several of its ongoing projects. The main area of discussion centered
on the upcoming two-day Island visit by DNR regional wildlife
biologist Brian Mastenbrook, who will be working with our Club
to help assess several key wildlife management issues.  These
will include White-tailed Deer population management, Habitat
Improvement, Doe Permit levels, and issues relating to Coyotes,
Turkeys, Rabbits and other wildlife species. We will be announcing
a place for our May 1st meeting with Mr. Mastenbrook. We hope
to have a good turnout for this meeting to help improve the wildlife
management on Beaver Island.
Other issues that the Club is working on are the “Successful
Hunter Contest” (which will help us in our estimates of deer
population on Beaver Island) and the Walleye Stocking Pond that
we hope to utilize this spring to improve the developing walleye
fishery in Lake Geneserath. Additionally the Club discussed the
plans for the now Annual Rifle Raffle, which will occur at the
Wildlife Club Dinner at the beginning of firearm deer season.
