Ruffed Grouse Wing and Tail Survey
 Win a gun! All those who turn in completed and useable grouse study survey packets will be entered into a drawing for a quality shotgun donated by the Ruffed Grouse Society. |
Survey expanded throughout New Hampshire
New Hampshire Fish and Game conducts a grouse wing and tail survey throughout the state. This survey will help Fish and Game gain critical 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, from any of the participating locations listed below. Completed packets must be returned to one of these locations. 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. All those who turn in completed and useable grouse study survey packets will be entered into a drawing for a quality shotgun donated by the Ruffed Grouse Society.
