Remarks. From the figures compiled for this report, we feel that five points 

 stand out: 



Only 13% of all hunters hunted over three days. 



The heaviest hunting pressure took place on the opening day and the two 

 following Saturdays. 



The highest hunter-success was on the opening day when 44% of the total 

 harvest was made. 



The percentage of banded birds harvested is only 3% higher than the 

 number estimated by the field survey. 



Mail surveys such as this one are time consuming and expensive, but well 

 worth the effort, since figures add to the value of field surveys and allow the 

 opportunity to determine the total hunting harvest and total hunting intensity.
