from Minnesota hunters and showed how frequency of color phases varied in relation to grouse population cycles, providing a basis for other researchers to demonstrate the linkage of color phases and aspects of grouse behavior and reproduction. Hundreds of students, researchers, land managers and private forest owners have been influenced by Gullion and his In the Ruffed Grouse Society he played a key role by authoring wildlife-management booklets and newsletter articles, and by serving on the national board of directors and as chairman of the research committee since 1972. Gullion authored over 160 professional and popular articles including Grouse of the North Shore (1984) and The Ruffed Grouse (1989, Minocqua, Wisconsin). During his final year he was honored by the Minnesota Forestry Association with an award for excellence in wildlife habitat management; by the North Central Section of the Wildlife Society with its premier award, the Professional Award of Merit; by the Izaak Walton league with its Honor Roll Award; and by Minnesota Governor Arne Carlson for outstanding work in forestry and Ruffed Grouse research. The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife, University of Minnesota, has established a fund for an endowed chair to honor Gordon Gullion and to perpetuate his work.
