Participation increased to 4,665 hunters during 2001 compared to 865 hunters during 2000. Hunters spent an estimated 32,634 days afield during 2001, an increase of 4.9 times over the 6,643 days hunted during 2000. Hunting hour after sunset was the method used most often (63%); however unplugged shotguns and electronic calls were also used by approximately 50% of hunters (48% and 51%, respectively). As with hunters responding to the 2000 survey, hunters who did not participate in the conservation action reported no geese in the area and no place to hunt as the two main reasons they did not hunt light geese. | | | | Date Created: | 08 22 2001 | | | | Agency ID: | HR-01-05 | | | | ISL ID: | 000000001284 Original UID: 1230 FIRST WORD: Results | |
