Steve D Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 DEC Seeking Assistance from Ruffed Grouse Hunters! DEC requests your assistance in a study of ruffed grouse. Productivity (number of young per adult female) is an important indication of the well-being of the grouse population. To assess the age and sex composition of the grouse population, we are seeking rump, wing and tail feathers from all grouse you harvest in New York during the 2018-19 season. As part of a multi-state effort to study West Nile Virus in grouse populations, we are also collecting blood samples from hunter-killed birds. If you would like to participate, visit the DEC website, e-mail us at [email protected] (using “Grouse Parts Collection” in the subject line), or call 518-402-8929 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
