I received an email from the ACA (Alberta Conservation Assoc.) with this request for grouse hunters to participate. I'm sure several of you have maybe received the same email but I thought I would post this for those that didn't see it.
Quoted from email...
"
Ashley Jensen from the University of Lethbridge is working on ruffed grouse population genetics and behaviour. Since collecting genetic material from all over the province is nearly impossible for one person to do, she is kindly asking that ruffed grouse hunters mail in specific grouse parts from various areas in the province.
Very little research has been done on ruffed grouse genetics, and this type of information may be crucial in the future for ruffed grouse population management.
She needs one PLUCKED tail feather, and one wing that come from within 100km of Edson, Cochrane, Lloydminster, Peace River, Fort McMurray. Please provide specific location information.
Feel free to email Ashley at ashley.jensen@uleth.ca with any questions."
So now you know in case you want to participate.
