Crippling loss was calculated as follows: 
State-managed area 
3,002 geese actually reported bagged 
22.5 percent loss (then 3,002. geese represent 
TT-5 percent of total kill) 
T1-5% : 3,002 as 100.0 : X = 3,873 
3,873 total loss to flock 
less 3,002 reported bag 
| 871 lost as cripples 
Zone 1 (other than State-managed area) 
5,096 geese (corrected kill): 4,020 reported 
751 correction 
325 from unreporting farms 
22.2% crippling loss (then 5,005 birds represent 77.86 of 
total kill) 
77.8% : 5,096 as 100.0 : X = 6,550 
6,550 total loss to flock 
less 5,096 calculated birds bagged 
1,554 lost as cripples 
Zones 2 and 3, and State area to south 
2,495 geese bagged (1,275 from zone 2, 920 from zone 3, and 
300 from State area to south) 
5% crippling loss (figure mtually agreed upon as conservative) 
95% : 2,495 as 100.0 : X = 2,626 
2,626 total loss to flock 
less 2,495 estimated actual bag 
176 lost as cripples 
Compilation of Total Harvest Data 
In compiling total harvest data, records from the State-managed public
