Summary
Warren Shapton was identified in an October 1950 report as a game-division biologist from Lansing. The article says he was expected to visit Beaver Island during the bird-hunting season to observe the progress of ruffed grouse that had been planted there.1
Evidence and limits
The source provides no agency record, age, full career history, or report of what Shapton eventually observed. It also uses separate language for sharp-tail grouse introduced in recent years and ruffed grouse described as planted; this record does not reconcile those statements.
Open questions
- Which agency employed Shapton, and does its archive hold the planned survey?
- Did the 1950 visit occur, and what population or regulation recommendations followed?
