Secondary Forest and the ocellated turkey (50%) was taken primarily in sites categorized as Plots & 

 Gardens (Appendix G). 



When analyzed statistically, the distribution of take, by species, for seven species of game for 

 Late Secondary Forest versus the other three vegetation categories combined was significantly different 

 from that expected, based on the proportions of those two vegetation types in the ejido (x^ = 23.4- 

 358.1, P < 0.005; Table 3-7). For the pocket gopher, paca, agouti, coati, collared peccary, brocket 

 deer, and plain chachalaca, a significantly greater proportion of the take took place in areas categorized 

 as Plots & Gardens, Early Secondary Forest, or Other/unknown than would be expected. Among the 

 species with an adequate sample size to permit testing, no species was taken in Late Secondary Forest 

 at the expected frequency. 



Minimum catchment area and mean kill site distances . The minimum catchment area over 

 which hunting occurred could not be precisely determined because only successful outings were 

 reported and the total extent of outings was not always reported. Recognizing this, perhaps the best
