Michigan forest fires dip as fishing slows statewide
Conservation officers note fewer anglers on northern lakes as June 25 opening nears due to gas rationing and work shifts. Southern lakes near population centers attract more fishers. 270 fires so far this year compare with 473 last year and 501 in 1941, with far less area burned. Also recounts coyote bounty of 115 dollars for six pups and high prices for beaver pelts at sealed bid sale. Isle Royale’s old Ma relocates to Casino area after conservation work ends.
