Sportsmen Asked To Aid Biologists In Bird Study
Sportsmen throughout Town are asked to aid state biologists in determining the ratio of young to old game birds for the open season.

By examining spur shape and primary quill feathers, biologists hope to gauge yearly production. Specimens should identify county of origin. A minimum of 10,000 feet and many wings are sought for accuracy.
