Hi all.

I would encourage anyone that comes across any "Rare" harvested ducks/geese=
 (others) to ask the hunter to save the Off fall (not to be graphic). Almos=
t all the field marks are preserved in some forms of processing (skinning),=
 and other methods will still preserve some/most. Any time I've asked it wa=
s freely offered up. After all it's considered garbage from that point. You=
 may even be offered the whole specimen, it has happened.=20

I know that there are facilities that would love to even have the head as a=
n addition to the collection! I know I've made contributions to collections=
 in this way before.=20

This can be a powerful tool in monitoring rarities. By empowering and invol=
ving the hunter you'll receive reports and collection samples while at the =
same time your educating them on the rarer migrants in our areas.=20

  Subject: [NS-RBA] FWD: Greater White-fronted Goose in Antigonish


=20=20=20=20
  A Greater White-fronted Goose was shot December 6 in an Antigonish county=
 corn field.   I wasn't given a precise location. It apparently flew in alo=
ne.  I was called today to confirm  the identity of the "Greylag" before it=
 was cleaned.  To be exact, a juvenile of the tundra subspecies.
