Responses to questions pertaining to harvest of migratory game birds other than waterfowl and coots included in the annual mail questionnaire survey of waterfowl hunters are summarized for the hunting seasons of 1964-65 through 1968-69. Results show an upward trend in hunting and harvest of other migratory game birds. This trend is correlated with an increase in duck stamp sales since 1965-66 but in general the increase in other migratory game bird hunting is greater. Analysis of these data demonstrates the weaknesses inherent in using a sampling fram based on duck stamp buyers to assess harvest and hunting of other migratory game birds.
