This was accomplished in 42 man-days of field time. The plots were spaced one-half mile to 1^ miles apart. Eighty-five of the plots were established by the use of a surveyor's tape. The measured plots were 22 chains in length ^ and were paralleled with one, two, or three companion strips of equal length. The number of companion strips at a plot depended upon the number of men available. With two exceptions, the plots were all six feet in width. The remainder of the plots were laid out by pacing and all plots were composed of five parallel strips 6 feet x 11 chains. These dimensions were used because they contain an area of one-tenth acre or its multiple. The number of pellet groups counted for each plot has been con- verted to groups per acre and then to deer days by the use of the con- version factor of groups to one deer day. Table X contains the sum- mary of the 1947 computations. It includes use by resident deer and use _ OO^GON ~CALIFORfjTA. VERY HEAVY ^ HEAVY MODERATE :::^^ LIGHT _L Figure 134.
