Banding Returns Show
 Light Ptarmigan Harvest

Only about five per cent of the ptarmigan population in a study area is being harvested by hunters, according to figures provided by Dr. Robert Weeden of the Alaska Dept. of Fish and Game This low harvest is indicated by the num- Der of banded birds reported taken by hunters in the Eagle Summit area on the Steese Hwy about 105 miles northeast of Fair. banks where Dr. Weeden has beer banding ptarmigan since 1860. In comparison, hunters in Scotland often take 30 per cent or more of the ptarmigan population annually.
 The study discloses that old male birds made up larger proportion of the bag than expected 14 of the 138 banded cocks were taken by hunters, compared to only 3 of 207 banded adult hens. The re- turn of chicks was low also: g of 329 banded. Except for one chick banded at Eagle Creek in 1860 and shot at 12-Mile Summit, Is miles away, in 1861, all of the ptarmigan were taken within two miles of where they were banded. Twenty one of the tagged birds were shot the same fall as they were banded, while were killed year after banding.
 The banding project is part of a ptarmigan study being conducted by the Dept. of Fish and Game to document the life history and geology of these birds, which are becoming increasingly popular with hunters.
