 that the hourly take was equal to 1/24 of the total take. The distribution of take of birds versus 

 mammals by time of day was tested using the x^ test. The yield of game per outing and per hunter 

 hour by hunter group size and type of hunt was tested using the Kruskal-Wallis test (x^ ^proximation). 

 The actual hunter group size was used to calculate the yields, but data for groups ^ 5 individuals were 

 summarized in the tables. For type of hunt, only tracking/stalking and stand/platform were compared 

 because for the other two types of hunts yield was essentially independent of hunter group size. The 

 distribution of kill sites in Late Secondary Forest versus Plots & Gardens, Early Secondary Forest, and 

 areas categorized as Other were compared for homogeneity with the x^ test. The mean kill site 

 distance was compared among species and hunters for the top seven hunters using the Kruskal-Wallis 

 test (x^ ^proximation). Mean prey body weight by hunter and by type of weapon was compared using 

 the Kruskal-Wallis test (x^ approximation). The following statistical terms were used: x^ = chi-square 

 (X^ approximation for Kruskal-Wallis test); x = mean, SE = standard error, n = sample size, d.f. = 



degrees of freedom, and P = probability-value. Specific P values were presented, rather than base a 

 determination of significance on a set alpha-value. All statistical analyses were conducted using SAS 

 (SAS Institute Inc., 1988), and unless stated were two-tailed.
