After 1960, success was lower but no consistent trend occurred. Annual success after 1960 ranged from ducks per hunter visit in 1977 (second year of a 2 year drought in California) to ducks per visit in 1967. Northern pintails accounted for 27% of the harvest overall but declined in importance after the 1950s (Figure 5). For example, northern pintails composed 39% of the average annual harvest during 1950-54 but only 18% by 1985-87. Green-winged teal accounted for 20% of the harvest overall and increased in importance after the 1950s. Mallards accounted for 16% of the harvest overall, increased in importance in the 1980s, and became the most common duck harvested after 1983. Other species important in the harvest were northern shovelers (13%) and American wigeon (12%). No other species exceeded 5% of the harvest overall. «T â¢a £ 250 (0 3 O .c 200 w 150 > to â 2 100 c 3 50 (0 0) > <0 Hunter visits Duck Harvest Ducks per visit. 4 D C o 3 *" J (0 â o 60% of the average total harvest for all periods.
