Hie DOC projection is based on data collected through hunter surveys and official wildlife census counts dating back to -1958. These statistics, gathered over such a long period of time, allow the DOC to predict seasonal harvests with a 90 percent accuracy rate. "This fall's upland game season looks very good at the present time," Ellis noted. "Naturally, the picture could change, but right now everything looks good for the who hunt these three In Illinois, 60 to 70 percent of the licensed hunters pursue pheasants, quail or rabbits." "It's difficult to determine just why we are experiencing these increases/' Ellis explained: "The last extremely mud winter certainly was an important factor. It's too early to evaluate the impact of the PIK program (Payment in Kind), although the set-aside land can't do anything but help in the long run.'1 The DOC projection for the coming seasoiPwas based, in part, on data collected from volunteer hunter surveys. Tfcese are annual scientific random samples involving several thousand licensed hunters. Participants fill out a form noting the species hunted, days in the field, and harvest bag. This information is supplemented by data collected *ti mm i :h year by logists wh ndardized DOC wildlife o monitor 83 census routes throughout the state. The rabbit census is run in March and July, the pheasant census during the last week of April through mid- May, and the quail census in the first three weeks of June. Each biologist monitors his 20- mile census route in the same manner. On an "audio count," the biologist stops every mile, listens for quail whistles gr pheasants calls and notes the results. A visual survey "is conducted for rabbits. "Relatively few states can rely on wildlife census data going back as far as 1956," he said. "Hie longer period over which data is collected allows us to produce a more meaningful, statistically valid analysis. There is a close correlation between harvest figures and census counts. We take the two. figure the margin of error, ana make our estimate. "The predicted harvests usually come remarkably close to the actual total," he said. "In 1982, for instance, we estimated a harvest of 1.432,000 rabbits. The actual total was 1,389,000. The same year we predicted a quail harvest of 943,000, which compared favorably with the actual 863,000 total. The pheasant projection for 1982 was 258,000, only slightly more than the 223,000 harvested." The nine counties surrouuding Chicago should experience a significant increase in the rabbit harvest, but pheasants should be down slightly. Quail are rare in of the state, Ellis that part added upj Noi • ' • j MARENGO FEDERAL OFFERS rr J. ' C Marengo Federal is warming up for the winter season with a new saver's premium program.
