The Small Game questionnaire was modified to collect unit specific data. Sample no longer weighted in analysis. The data is not comparable to historic data. In 2004 and 2005, the historic survey format and the new unit specific survey format were run simultaneously. Beginning in 2006, only the new unit specific survey format was used.
