<br />ferret signs on foot. All burro., openincs were examined for signs of ferret <br />diggings, trench formations, scats, sramrals exhibi ling evidence of having been <br />killed by a ferret and freshly covered entrances. For each colony surveyed, <br />the number of prairie dogs observed, the number of burrow entrances and an <br />estimate of the size of the colony (acres) were recorded on sta„da,^d field <br />data sheets. <br />~-rTI DLSF'E ORIENPID F2EC32F.ATION <br />Since hunting is a principal recreational opportunity in the vicinity of the <br />study area, the extent to which this opportunity is exploited was determined <br />by first formulating a list of potentially huntable game species. This list was <br />based on-a a~tt~ilation of wildlife field data obtained during all field activities. <br />Criteria for identifying wildlife species in the Nucla study area as huntable were: <br />1. Whether the species is legally a game animal in Colorado <br />2. Whether the species occurs in sufficient numbers to attract hunters <br />3. A'hether there is sufficient primary habitat within the project area to <br />support the species <br />"Hunting pressure" or exploitation of each potential game species in the study <br />area was determined using DOW data. Came hunting and harvest data for the hunt <br />area in which the project area occurs were accessed to determine hunter use: <br />Iocal.ities receiving more hunting pressure within the hunt area were determined <br />from the available data (see Results, page 50). <br />DATA ANALYSIS <br />Computer Facilities. All quantitative data were analyzed on a Cyber 730 ocvn- <br />puter. Data were entered on keypunch cards that had been double punched and <br />verified. Computer print-outs of the raw data were generated in the same format <br />as the original field data sheet to expedite the data checking process. All <br />data were permanently stared on magnetic tape to facilitate subsequent data manip- <br />ulations and checking o£ original results. Data were analyzed using specially <br />developed programs and output was generated in a format that facilitated inter- <br />pretation. <br />Relative Abundance Indices. Estimates of population size for the different groups <br />of animals surveyed in the study area are provided by relative - - --ce indices. <br />These indices are based on percent sampling effort (e.g.,tr of small mammals per <br />!, 100 trap nights) to ensure o~aribility of data collected by varying sampling <br />-13- <br />• <br />JOH i -1 1S00 <br />(Revised July 2006) Attachment 2.04.11-1-20 <br />
