Survey Expanded throughout New Hampshire for 2010
For the past few years, New Hampshire Fish and Game has conducted a grouse wing and tail survey in northern New Hampshire. For the 2010 season, we are expanding our survey efforts to include the entire state. Through the survey, Fish and Game hopes to gain needed information about ruffed grouse in New Hampshire. Hunter participation is key to this effort -- we need your help!
Any grouse hunter can participate by picking up grouse sample packets, which include envelopes and survey cards for two grouse samples, at any of the participating locations listed below. Hunters are asked to remove all tissue from wing and tail samples and to let them dry completely before placing the samples in the envelopes. Do NOT place the samples in plastic of any kind. Hunters should place only one wing and tail in each envelope with the corresponding completed survey card. Completed packets must be returned to one of the participating locations:
