Figure 1. Cooperative hunting areas provide shooting for the unattached huntt-r 



hunters. Nearly all hunters expressed wishes for cooperative Imiitiiii: 

 areas. 



Table 1 lists the areas with tlie aiiioiiiit ol' land ()|)fii to limit in;:, mid 

 it shows the number of hunters using these areas, tlieir success and the 

 reaction to this type of hunting. 



One of the most impressive ])()iiits of the plan was that the 1*4 

 cooperating landowners, when contactetl by (piestioiinain's or in person, 

 were all in favor of this method of controlled Imnting. Iliinter damage 

 to cooperating landowners' |)i()|)cit>- was negligihle diii"ing the entire 

 season. The cooperative hunting area plan should do much to alleviate 

 one of the largest problems confronting the hnreaii, namely that of 

 opening land to hunter acce.ss where wild ring-necked phea.sants are 

 plciitiful.
