On the McManus area, where no game farm birds were planted, the kill was per 1,000 acres in 1947, in 1948, and in 1949. The kill per 1,000 acres on the Sartain area has exceeded that on the McManus for every year, but the hunting pressure, with the exception of 1949, has also been greater. Also, the kill of stocked birds on Sartain's increased the take per 1,000 acres. Total resident wild bird kill on Sartain's in 1949 was 1,073; this would give a bag of birds per 1,000 acres which is less than for the McManus. The rise in kill on the last day of the season on Sartain's in 1948 and 1949 was due to shooting in the restricted zone (Figure 73). Hunting on the 1,280 acres in this zone was negligible until the last day of the season and consequently it acted as a refuge until that Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original California.
