Indications are that the kills of ducks, geese and coot in the Pacific 
Flyway increased considerably for the third consecutive year, All of the 
more important duck species showed increased kills with shoveler, pintail and 
mallard taking the lead, 
The greater kills this year were due in part to an increase in the 
number of hunters, in part to an increase in the number of hunts per hunter, 
but mostly to the increase in the average daily success,
