The Golden & District Rod & Gun Club has been invited to assist with an research initiative known as the Carnivore Connectivity Project.
This collaborative study is led by researchers from the University of Saskatchewan, Red Deer Polytechnic, Parks Canada, and the Beaver Hills Biosphere. Its goal is to better understand how large carnivores — including wolves, cougars, and black bears — move across the landscape. Researchers are examining population boundaries and studying how human activity and potential conflict influence wildlife movement across British Columbia, Alberta, and Saskatchewan.
To support this work, the research team has asked whether club members would be willing to contribute genetic samples such as hair, skin, or tissue when available. These samples help researchers track animal movement and improve long-term wildlife management strategies.
Each sample kit comes in a small zip-lock bag and includes clear instructions for proper collection and handling. Sample kits can be found at the range in the freezer, located outside of the Clubhouse.
After completing your sample kit, please put it back in the freezer and text the phone number on the bag or email hunting.rec@goldenrodandgun.com to let us know of your submission.
If you’re interested in learning more about the Carnivore Connectivity Project, you can find additional information HERE.
The Golden District Rod and Gun Club is home to one of the longest ranges in British Columbia. Our 40 hectare recreation shooting range facility hosts turkey shoots, black powder shoots, sporting clays shoots and family fishing days. We encourage hunting, fishing, and shooting among the residents of the Golden district with a view towards better knowledge of the safe use of firearms and conservation ethics.
