Doesn't this look like fun?! Who's in?

Hello,
We are looking for help with Otter/Bobcat skinning and data collection.
(i.e... lengths, weights, teeth, reproductive tracts, DNA and Mercury tissue
samples).

-When: Thursday, Jan. 4th at 8:00 am till late, and Fri. Jan. 5th. 8
am-5p.m.

-Where: Roger Hutton Taxidermy/Fur shop, 3 miles W of Saint Charles, IA on
blacktop G50. The taxidermy shop is located on south side of blacktop.

At least 3 volunteers from each district would be appreciated. If you can
just make it for one day, that is fine as well.
We had several officers, fisheries, park employees and students attend last
year, it was great to have the help. We would especially appreciate any
additional help this year with the additional otters collected. No
experience needed.

-I am estimating at least 90 bobcat and 250-300 otter.
If you have any carcasses in your area, please bring them.
If you are bringing carcasses, please start thawing them by Jan. 1st.

PS-If you know of any trappers or other interested individuals in attending,
please pass this along.


Ah, one of the benefits of being an Animal Ecology major is getting emails like this. God bless ISU!
