This report presents estimates of small game harvest and hunter numbers in Michigan for the 1987 small game seasons and any extensions of those seasons into the 1988 calendar year. The questionnaires were sent to a random sample of individuals who purchased one of six license types giving them authority to hunt small game in 1987. A total of 304,141 people hunted small game during the 1987 seasons compared to 298,283 in 1986. More hunters took to the field for pheasant, grouse, woodcock, rabbits, hares, and squirrels in 1987 than in 1986. Hunter take also increased for those species. Only the number of duck hunters and their take declined. The pheasant harvest increased 33 percent from 1986, and cottontail rabbit and squirrel harvests were the highest since 1981 and 1975, respectively.
