PHEASANT HUNTING STUDIES FOR 1946-47-48 305 checking stations it was found that the morning air census gave an average for the three mornings of percent of the actual daily total on the Sartain Ranch and percent on the McManus area. An examination of the number of hunters' cars censused the first three days of the 1948 season by airplane revealed an increase of percent over the 1947 season's results. This figure can be used as an indicator of the general increase in hunting pressure in the northern Sacramento Valley during the 1948 season. However, on the Sartain area the number of vehicles increased percent and on the McManus area percent for a similar period. The two study areas showed an increase in hunting pressure out of proportion to the other parts of the pheasant habitat because of the wide publicity they received as areas where permit hunting was allowed. Hunter Success Number of hunters per day and percent of successful hunters by day for the Sartain Ranch for the 1947 and 1948 hunting seasons is shown in Figure 83 and similar data for the McManus area is presented in Figure 84. The Sartain Ranch had a higher percent of successful hunters the first day of the 1948 season than the jMcManus area. However, after the I- z iLl o a: UJ a.
