Because lesser number of ducks were expected to come South in the fall of 1961, shooting regulations were restricted to reduce the kill. Surveyed revealed that regulations reduced duck kill in the United States from 9.6 million in 19601961 to 63 million in 19611962. Nonetheless, the breeding duck population index was reduced by 3.5 million birds compared to 1961. The duck population was overharvested in fall 1962.
