Dear Mr. Grimmer: 
I am enclosing a map showing a possible arrangement 
for a grouse management area which would furnish the information 
needed to complete the grouse investigation. There are other flocks 
of birds besides the ones on the map. The ones shown I have either 
counted or banded.  Most of the county land is in the west half of 
Remington and Hiles. I am including part of Juneau County north of 
the Meadow Valley-Finley road as it includes the biggest flocks of 
Prairie chickens and a large number of quail. The area north of the Mather-

Sprague road could also be open to hunting 1933-6. I do not think the 
area closed to hunting should be closed until 1933 if it is to be a 
three-year plan as there will be no marked drop in numbers until 1933 
or 1934 and the best time to get the information we need will be when 
the number is low and the season in the rest of the state is closed. 
F. J. W. Schmidt
