Explanatory Comments for Table 15 
The hunting season was 9); days long in the Pacific Flyway in 
the 1959-60 season. 
In a season of 9) days, each day is 1.06% of the total 
(column 3). Therefore any daily percentage (in colums }; or 5) 
that differs from 1.06 is correspondingly greater or lesser than 
the average for that characteristic. 
Daily hunting activity (colum ) was fairly constant through 
the season. The season was half over before half the hunting was 
done. This is in contrast with results for other Flyways, where 
half the hmting was done during the first 0% of the season. 
satin seasons in the other Flyways averaged 40 to 60 days, instead 
of 9u. 
Daily percentages of the total duck kill (colum 5) varied 
somewhat more than hunting activity. Period 2 was especially low, 
and period 6 was high. 
Hunters were able to shoot ducks throughout the season, as is 
shown by the average number of ducks bagged per day (colum 6), 
Hunting activity rate was not coordinated precisely with duck kill, 
as can be seen by comparing column ) with colum 6, Hunting activity 
was relatively low during both first and last periods, when the 
maximum bag occurred. Hunting activity was not precisely coordinated 
with duck kill in any of the Flyways.
