HUNTERS – WE NEED YOUR GROUSE WINGS AND TAILS
Grouse and mountain quail wings and tails provide ODFW biologists important information about the health
of the populations.
Hunters can help by donating a wing and tail from harvested grouse and mountain quail.
What to Do:
1. Remove one entire wing and whole tail including small rump feathers.
2. Place in PAPER collecting bags provided at ODFW offices or use your own PAPER bag (1 bird per bag).
3. Mark the bag with the date taken, county taken, and general location.
4. Drop bag off at designated collection sites located around the state or at ODFW offices.
5. If there will be a delay in dropping off your bag, please freeze it.
For additional information, including bags and pre-paid return envelopes, please call 503-947-6301.

The edible portion of a game bird means, at a minimum the meat of the breast
associated with the sternum. However, the Department encourages hunters to consume
meat from the leg (drumstick), thigh, and wing when practicable. Many hunters don’t
realize how much meat is lost when just the breast is consumed. On most game birds,
25% to 35% of the meat is found on just the legs and thighs, with only 55% to 60% found
on the breast.
