Synopsis [ ]

Leslie tries to prove she can hang with the guys so she invites herself on Ron's annual hunting trip, but things don't go as planned. Meanwhile, April and Andy bond in the office while everyone is away.

Storyline [ ]

Andy Dwyer has been giving piggyback rides to everyone in the Parks Department, which has become popular with other city hall employees. Later, Ron , Jerry , and Mark look forward to their annual "trail survey", which is actually a yearly secret hunting trip at Slippery Elm Park Ranger Station . Determined to prove she can be just like one of the guys around the office, Leslie insists the ladies of the Parks Department attend the trip this year, as well as Tom , who has also never been invited. Ron, despite his reservations, decides to let them come along.

While the rest of the department is away, Leslie asks April to check with the State Parks Department to verify the budgeting documentation. What should be a simple task, however, has April waiting on hold at the phone for hours. When she desperately has to use the restroom, Andy agrees to wait by the phone. When she returns, the two start to bond by making up their own lyrics to the hold music, playing a non-water game of Marco Polo around the office, and seeing who can make the best spit-take. When Andy says he is jealous that his ex-girlfriend Ann is going to the hunting trip with Mark, April offers to give him a hickey to make Ann jealous, which Andy accepts.

Meanwhile, the others arrive at the cabin for the hunting trip. Leslie proves to be an excellent hunter and bags the first quail. Growing increasingly agitated, Ron agrees to a challenge that Leslie cannot shoot more birds than he can, and they split up. After a few hours of hunting, Ron screams and the others rush to his side and find he has been shot in the back of the head. They bring Ron into the cabin and Ann takes a look at his injury. While it's not fatal, it is heavily bleeding and painful, Ron is absolutely furious. He asks whether Leslie shot him, but she insists she did not. Ron takes several pain pills and washes it down with scotch, which forces Ann and Leslie to hold his mouth open and induce vomiting, despite fierce opposition from Ron himself.

The others discuss who shot Ron, and Tom creates a minor panic when he suggests perhaps an outsider is hunting them. Ann takes Leslie aside and says she knows who shot Ron, and a few minutes later Leslie admits to the group that she was the shooter, even though Ann knows this is not the case. A Park Ranger (Jay Johnston) arrives and interrogates Leslie, implying that the accident is the result of her femininity. Leslie knows that she is a good hunter, but goes along with the ranger's sexist implications in order to keep him from investigating the matter more deeply. Later, a bandaged Ron repeatedly berates Leslie, prompting Ann to insist Tom come forward. Tom admits he shot Ron, and that Leslie covered for him because he did not have his hunting license, which could have resulted in a $25,000 fine and prison time. Ron is impressed with Leslie, who he calls a "stand-up guy", and is upset with Tom for not having a license and calls him a moron.

The next day, the department throws a get well party for Ron, where Ann is unimpressed with Andy's hickey and everyone is horrified by the stitches for Ron's head wound.

Leslie: When you're out with the boys you've gotta be ready for a good pantsing. That's why I have suspenders that connect my bra to my jeans.

Leslie: Alright! Safety basics! Donna, tell me why it's bad to look down the barrel of your gun? Donna: Is that a trick question? [proceeds to look down her shotgun barrel] Leslie: No! Donna, don't! Please! Ron: Rule Number One: Do not point the weapon at a person. That includes your own face, Donna.

Tom: Your favorite kind of cake can't be "birthday cake". That's like saying your favorite kind of cereal is "breakfast cereal". Donna: Mm. I love breakfast cereal.

Jerry: [to the crew] This is such a great day. [grabs a beer from the cooler] See, at my house, I've got a wife and three beautiful daughters. But this trip, it is the one time of year I get to pee standing up. [drinks his beer and hears gunshots in the distance] Mm. I love that sound.

Leslie: [after Ron was shot in the head] Are you in a lot of pain?? Ron: I WAS SHOT IN THE HEAD WITH A SHOTGUN!!

Ann: [trying to calm Ron] Ron, it's actually not that serious. I just need you to stay calm, okay? Ron: Yeah, I'm just gonna stay angry! I find that relaxes me!

Ann: [hears Donna scream] Donna? Donna? Are you okay?? What, is it your heart?? Are you having trouble breathing? Donna: My car! SOMEBODY SHOT MY CAR!!! [continues screaming next to her Mercedes, with the side window shot out and the tire flattened; Ann looks at the camera confused]

Ann: [to Ron after he took medication] Hey, how are you feeling? Are you dizzy? Are you lightheaded? Ron: When I look at my palm, I see a ladies' mouth french-kissing a dog. Is that normal?

Ann: The pain medication I gave you is pretty strong; Donny uses it for menstrual cramps. How many did you take? Ron: Sev- Eight. But I washed them down with plenty of fluids. [points to bottle of scotch] Ann: [alarmed] No, Ron, you cannot drink scotch with this! You're going to need to purge right now. Ron: No, I'm not wasting 20 year scotch.

Leslie: [after she and Ann have forced Ron to purge] Well, good news is Ron is resting comfortably.

Tom: [about Ron] On a scale of one to Chris Brown, how pissed is he?

Tom: Man is the most dangerous game. Donna: To the Predator. Tom: I did smell something out there. And it wasn't human. Leslie: That was pine trees. Donna: The Predator can see heat. Tom: We should cover ourselves in mud. It could still be out there.

Leslie: I shot Ron Swanson. Donna: YOU SHOT MY MERCEDES??! [gets up and charges at Leslie] Leslie: What? NO! No! [gets tackled by Donna]

Ron: You know, Leslie, the Super Bowl is in a couple of months. I usually watch it with my brothers. Maybe you could come by at halftime and shoot me in the head. Leslie: Ron, I'm really sorry that I ruined your weekend. Ron: Well, perhaps next time I'm enjoying some alone time in the Men's restroom, you could invite yourself into my stall and shoot me in the head. Leslie: [sighs in exasperation] Look, if there's anything I could do to make it up to you- Ron: [interrupts] Sure. How about you shoot me in the head? Oh, wait, you already did that!

Tom: Excuse me, everyone! I have something to say. Ron: Hang on a minute, Tom. I'm not done berating Leslie. Tom: It wasn't Leslie's fault. She was covering for me because I didn't have a hunting license. I was the one who shot you. Ron: You didn't get a license? What kind of moron doesn't get a license?! That's reckless endangerment, my son. That's a $25,000 fine, minimum! And probably jail-time!

Ron: [to Leslie] You did good. You're a real stand-up guy. I'm sorry I lost my temper before. It's because I was shot in the head by a moron. Leslie: Yeah. Tom: Dude, Ron. I'm so sorry. Ron: Apology not accepted, moron.

Treat Yo’ Self With the 30 Best Episodes of ‘Parks and Recreation’

By Scott Huver

• Precision Engineering: How Michael Mann’s Life, Art and Work Led Him to Make ’Ferrari’ 4 months ago

The secret to the enduring success of “Parks and Recreation”? The show excelled at putting characters comically at odds with one another, while building unlikely bonds. It also understood how to play emotional moments with genuine sincerity, using comedy bits to underscore, but not dilute the sentiment. And it celebrated well-intentioned, if not always successful, civic efforts and the power of positivity without overt cynicism.

But perhaps most importantly, it knew how to populate Pawnee with fresh, funny and comforting elements that resembled the silliest parts of the communities we know: Treat Yo’ Self Day, Galentine’s Day, Li’l Sebastian, Mouse Rat, Duke Silver, Gryzzl, Johnny Karate, the Cones of Dunshire, “Money Please!” and so much more. All of these elements are on exemplary display in this collection of the 30 most essential episodes of the sitcom that made government feel good before we knew we needed it.

Season 3, Episode 10

When Leslie’s online dating experiment suggests Tom as a match, he’s explored as a possible romantic interest (after all, he’s uniquely obnoxious, but not unlikeable), underscoring Leslie’s growing connection to Ben. Meanwhile, the burger cook-off between meat-venerating Ron and health nut Chris is sitcom gold.

End of the World

Season 4, Episode 6

A model of balancing a Pawnee civic problem with character evolution, the episode plays out Lesley’s efforts to placate a local doomsday cult’s call for an all-night vigil against her attempt to steer Ben away from potential romantic interest Shauna. Meanwhile April and Andy’s bond deepens, hilariously, as they check off items from his very particular bucket list.

Doppelgangers

Season 6, Episode 4

In an inspired sustained gag, the personalities of the Eagleton and Pawnee parks teams clash when the departments merge — most hilariously Ron and the similar-at-first-blush Eagleton Ron, brilliantly played by Sam Elliott. Capping things off is the deftly bittersweet reveal of Ann and Chris’ impending move to Michigan.

Leslie vs. April

Season 5, Episode 7

A rift in Leslie and April’s mentor/apprentice relationship fuels the episode, with off-ramps into pure hilarity. We witness the first instance of Ben’s always-brief stints at a Pawnee accounting firm, headed by one of most reliably delightful recurring characters, Barney Varmn, and Leslie’s first meeting with political (and sex) idol Joe Biden.

Season 4, Episode 20

As Leslie’s put to the public test against city council rival Bobby Newport, the show makes the case for her growing political acumen. Guest star Paul Rudd is the embodiment of a popular, but empty politico, and there’s especially giddy turns from debate moderators Perd Hapley and Joan Callamezzo.

Ann and Chris

Season 6, Episode 13

A fine example of the show serving its gooey emotional cake alongside some silliness, Leslie looks for the perfect symbolic goodbye gift for Ann, while the Parks men scramble to send Chris off with something as sentimental as his parting presents to them.

Season 3. Episode 12

Adding real, comic definition to Pawnee’s long-feuding neighboring community, the episode finds a genuinely well-matched rival for Leslie in ex-bestie Lindsay Carlisle Shay (an ideally cast Parker Posey), showcases Leslie’s ability to pivot from score-settling to problem-solving, and delivers a crucial evolution in her deepening friendship with intimacy-(and birthday-)averse Ron.

The Comeback Kid

Season 4, Episode 11

Leslie’s campaign relaunch contains arguably the series’ finest sight gag, as she and her staff gingerly baby-step on skates across an ice rink to kick off the occasion, while Gloria Estefan’s pump-up anthem “Get on Your Feet” plays on repeat. Plus the debut of Champion, April and Andy’s three-legged rescue dog!

Two Funerals

Season 7, Episode 11

The series’ penultimate episode sets up some crucial impending departures while tying up looser ends, when Pawnee’s longtime mayor (played to throwaway perfection by Bill Murray) dies, while Ron mourns the passing of his barber. Both losses spark hilariously anxious bids for replacements, with surprising results.

Ron and Diane

Season 5, Episode 9

Amid an amusing A-story featuring the always-welcome return of Ron’s cruel ex Tammy (Megan Mullally) as his relationship with Diane hits a peak, there lies a genuinely uproarious subplot in which Jerry’s secret, unbelievably perfect homelife — including his wife Gail (Christie Brinkley) — is revealed to his co-workers’ shock and awe.

Season 7, Episode 1

The deftly executed time-hop three years into the future reshuffles the deck and sets the stage, and plot threads, for the incredibly strong final season, including the startling revelation that Leslie — now a parks director for the Midwest region — and Ron — who’s left government to open his own construction firm — are bitter enemies. Meanwhile, April struggles with her newfound sense of normalcy.

94 Meetings

Season 2, Episode 21

The series hit its stride with this one: April mistakenly schedules dozens of meetings she’d been deflecting for Ron on a single day. Their efforts to power through them reveal the anti-social bond they share. Also, the April-Andy romance faces a crucial moment.

Media Blitz

Season 3, Episode 5

Faced with a maddening media gauntlet during her city council campaign that includes shock-jocks Crazy Ira and The Douche in their debut appearances, Leslie’s loyalties are put to the test when Ben’s traumatic teen tenure as mayor is questioned. Andy and Ron take drastic measures to keep April from following Chris to Indianapolis as his assistant.

Season 3, Episode 13

The supportive beauty of the Leslie-Ann friendship is tested by Leslie’s overbearing attempts to push Ann into a city hall job. Tom’s potent Snake Juice brings them to a drunken boiling point.

Ron and Tammy: Part II

Season 3, Episode 4

A sequel episode just about equal to the original finds Tom caught in the middle of disastrous duo Ron and Tammy’s latest tumultuous encounter, made all the more hysterical by real-life couple Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally’s boundaryless comedic chemistry. Additional pleasures: Ben’s growing romantic interest in Leslie, and the clash of Chris and April’s workplace styles.

Season 6, Episodes 1 & 2

The supersized episode offers one of the show’s best change-of-venue outings, filled with memorable bits, including the uber-satisfying Ron and Diane pregnancy-reveal-turned-whirlwind-wedding, the unlikely friendship of Andy and Lord Edgar Covington (Peter Serafinowicz), Europe-loathing Ron’s excursion to a Scottish distillery and Tom’s misfortunes at the hands of the dysfunctional Saperstein family.

Halloween Surprise

Season 5, Episode 5

Jerry’s impossible-not-to-laugh-at “fart attack” alone elevates this episode to classic status, but it’s also filled with landmark emotional moments, including a trick-or-treat trip with Diane’s kids that leaves Ron pondering if he has room in his life for family. Then there’s Ben’s moving proposal to Leslie – and her inimitable reaction to it.

Win, Lose, or Draw

Season 4, Episode 22

Along with the expected laughs, two compelling ticking-clock dilemmas are built into this episode — whether Leslie will emerge victorious in her city council campaign, and whether Ben will accept another job that keeps him in D.C. for months. Of course, the results are potentially at odds with each other.

Ms. Knope Goes to Washington

Season 5, Episode 1

The gravitational pull toward D.C. grows stronger, but Leslie’s failure to set a meeting drives her to distraction — so much so that the glory of meeting her political heroes Barbara Boxer, Olympia Snowe and John McCain (playing themselves) is lost on her. In Pawnee, an employee barbeque gone awry provides for an epic Ron meltdown.

Season 6, Episode 21/22

The ambitious sixth season finale sets the stage for the final season, as Leslie and Tom face major professional crossroads. Memorable guest spots abound. Most notably, Michelle Obama discombobulates Leslie in their comedic, but inspiring encounter; musical artists real and fictional join the unexpected combo of Mouse Rat and Duke Silver at the Unity Concert; and Jon Hamm makes the show’s briefest, but most comedically effective cameo.

Ron and Tammy

Season 2, Episode 8

The unbridled vitriol/carnal obsession that fuels Ron and Tammy’s hellish relationship pushes the series into a higher comic plane. Mullally transforms from seemingly stable librarian to full-on succubus with wicked glee, Offerman adroitly reveals Ron’s unexpected vulnerabilities, and Amy Poehler’s palpable horror as caught-in-the-middle Leslie seals the deal.

Andy and April’s Fancy Party

Season 3, Episode 9

Probably the silliest yet swooniest of the show’s romantic episodes, with April and Andy emerging, despite (or perhaps because of) their respective eccentricities, as the show’s most uncomplicated and clearly-meant-to-be pair. It also offers an equally starry-eyed advancement of the Leslie-Ben coupling.

Pawnee Rangers

Season 4, Episode 4

A delightfully funny exploration of gender norms plays out as Leslie launches a girls-only scouting group, the Pawnee Goddesses, as a counterpoint to Ron’s exclusionary boys’ troop, tempting away the boys alienated by Ron’s severe self-reliance lessons. And Ben is schooled in treat yo’ self indulgences by Tom and Donna.

Leslie and Ben

Season 5, Episode 14

Another romantic highlight that also gives the characters a challenge that requires all their skills and teamwork to complete – the very heart and soul of the show. That the task at hand is getting Leslie and Ben to the altar at top speed makes it even more appealing.

Li’l Sebastian

Season 3, Episode 16

Everything the series does well it does to perfection here: an outrageous set piece, in Tom’s Entertainment 720 office; amusing/appalling Tammy hijinks, enhancing the Ron-Leslie friendship; romantic complications between couples; loopy sight gags, involving lighter fluid and Ron’s facial hair; a juicy cliffhanger, introducing Tammy 1; and expanding local mythology, culminating with Mouse Rat’s unforgettable tribute song honoring Pawnee’s beloved celebrity mini-horse.

Leslie & Ron

Season 7, Episode 4

Less savvy series would’ve tried to play out the co-workers’ feuds throughout the final season, but it reaches a perfectly timed climax here, and concludes both uproariously and touchingly, thanks to modulated performances by Poehler and Offerman.

One Last Ride

Season 7, Episodes 12 and 13

Series finales are notoriously tricky beasts, but this one ranks as one of the most satisfying goodbyes. Delivering on comedy and sentiment, it’s also a stylishly structured bit of storytelling. Everyone gets an inventive and fitting future-glimpse send-off — and there’s one last gem of a gag with the parks department’s eternal rival.

Season 3, Episode 2

The self-effacing comedy potential of uber-healthy Chris Traeger — and actor Rob Lowe — is fully realized, just one of the comic highs achieved as a flu epidemic strikes Pawnee. Leslie’s relentless strength of will to soldier through her own sickness — and subsequent submission — is another.

Hunting Trip

Season 2, Episode 10

The first great “Parks” episode to fully utilize the entire cast together offers hysterical explorations of gender politics when Leslie insists that the female staffers (and Tom) join Ron’s annual male-bonding hunting expedition, which takes a disastrous turn. And the early seeds of the Andy-April romance sprout back at the office.

Harvest Festival

Season 3, Episode 7

The series’ ne plus ultra, capping off the simmering festival plotline, offers perfect “Parks” ingredients — a crucial relationship test, a seemingly uphill civic battle, big personal stakes — but what cements its status as an all-time classic is the introduction of Li’l Sebastian and the reverence he inspires among the Pawnee community.

Parks And Recreation : "Hunting Trip"

A few weeks back, Leonard Pierce was covering this show for TV Club and made note that the Fred Armisen episode lacked the strength of Parks & Rec 's supporting cast. Tonight we saw the other end of the spectrum. Even though every single cast member played some part of the action, "Hunting Trip" lacked the character focus that made episodes like "Ron And Tammy" and "Kaboom" such successes—a few guys get their screen time, a few others help, and the rest sit out. If "Sister City" is the example of an episode not playing to the show's solid cast, "Hunting Trip" is an example of putting too many eggs in one basket.

Related Content

Tonight P&R decided to forego Green Week on NBC and went with an episode surrounding a bunch of animal killing. It's a hunting trip that Ron, Mark, and even Jerry get in on every year—a chance for the guys to bond. And where there are guys bonding in government, there's Leslie wanting a piece of the pie. Not only that, but she convinces Ron to let herself, "Tom, and the rest of the girls" go along, which includes Donna and, for some reason, Ann, despite her not working there. Meanwhile, back at the office, April is trying to place a call for Leslie and finds herself on hold; bored, she bonds with the only other guy in the office she knows, Andy.

April gave us so little in season one, so episodes like "Miss Pawnee Pageant" were a delight; we get to see a completely different side to her usually distant composure, and by different I mean "any." And tonight's the same. After a game of Marco Polo and practicing spit-takes with Andy, it becomes clear she's starting to like the guy—or at least feel sorry for him. So she starts flirting, and even directly offers to give him a hickey under the guise of making Ann jealous. Andy's too enamored with acting child-like to much notice: lyrics to the hold music like "so suck on my butt"; "I've lived in Pawnee my whole life… that is a fact" being the worst spit-take inducer in history. Watching April pine after this big goofball was equal parts sweet and tragic, but mostly it made me glad she's around.

Throwing together two characters who haven't interacted much worked well in that B-story, and it just exposed what a mess the A-story was. Leslie and Ron are the centerpiece, especially after she realizes that Ron likes to be the best at hunting and feels legitimately threatened by Leslie's quail-shooting prowess. Jerry got a few nice moments—after all, this is the only time he's not constantly made fun of, and it's a chance for him to assert his manhood away from his wife and three daughters by drinking what appears to be cider. And Tom's inability to realize you're not supposed to swallow "chew" got me excited for some emasculating humor on his behalf. But no one else got to do much. Mark, one of the central characters going in, had barely any lines, and though it was funny to watch Donna freak out about her car, I'd just have well had her sit this one out. Same with Ann: Sure, it's great there was a nurse around when Ron's head was grazed with the bullet, but that seems like a plot point that could have easily been solved a different way (more minor a wound or something), and her other contributions to the episode consisted of just a general encouragement of Leslie, as per usual. I kind of wish I could trade Donna and Ann for more Tom and Mark screen time.

I still thought the episode was great, just not up to the unusually high standards of recent episodes. Ron listening to turkey calls in his office, then fake-realizing, "This isn't rap?"; Ron downing the entire glass of scotch in one fell swoop; Leslie's whole "I'm a weak, frail woman" song-and-dance with the park ranger, which I've gotta imagine came partially out of improv on Amy Poehler's behalf. It's just that when the best parts of an episode consist of short-lived gags, there's at least some room to grow.

Stray observations:

• Did anyone catch that first moment? So apparently Andy has a story/joke that involves lifting up his apron from over his crotch and saying "and I'm like, whaaaaat?" Hmm…
• "Man on man on man action." Ron's reaction shot was pretty great too.

Parks and Recreation (2009–2015): Season 2, Episode 10 - Hunting Trip - full transcript

Leslie tries to prove she can hang with the guys so she invites herself on Ron's annual hunting trip, but things don't go as planned. Meanwhile, April and Andy bond in the office while everyone is away.

Parks and Recreation, "Hunting Trip": Who shot Ron Swanson?

In this very good

, Mike Schur and Greg Daniels talk at length about the series' growing pains, and the ways in which they feel "Parks and Rec" is different from "The Office." Watching the very entertaining "Hunting Trip," another difference came to mind:

Leslie is very good at what she does.

Now, obviously, Michael Scott is a brilliant salesman, and can occasionally back his way into some clever managerial strategy, but for the most part, he's all hat and no cattle. He talks about being great at things that he's absolutely awful at (comedy, most notably), and the difference between his perceptions and the reality of the situation drives a lot of that show's humor.

Leslie has her own moments of self-deception (the quote above, to name one), but at the same time, she doesn't mess around. She says she's a good hunter, and she is. She can out-shoot, out-drink and out-anecdote any man on that trip - so much so that it starts to become annoying to Ron. And when Tom the unlicensed hunter turns out to be the one who shot Ron, Leslie immediately knows she has to take all the blame, and manages to play into the park ranger's sexism (in one of the better Let's Watch Amy Improvise For Multiple Takes sequences they've done) until the guy buys her story and goes away. And in doing so, she again wins Ron Effing Swanson's respect.

That's another key "Office"/"P&R" split. Ron could very easily be the Dwight stand-in, as they share a knack for saying insane things with conviction, but he's also sensible, and popular, and a good judge of character. He's his own man, incredibly funny at times - as we see when Ron is loopy on a scotch/painkiller combo and refusing to let Leslie and Ann make him puke - but also very likable.

Ron's hallucinatory freak-out was one of several bits of great physical comedy in "Hunting Trip," an episode that also saw Donna tackling Leslie for allegedly wounding her beloved Mercedes, Andy giving piggyback rides around City Hall, and Andy stumbling around the office while playing Marco Polo with April. (And kudos to whoever came up with the inspired idea of making April interested in Andy.)

There was nothing this week quite as hiccup-inducing as

or Ron talking of his love of pretty dark-haired women with breakfast food, but overall "Hunting Trip" was another strong entry in this great second season of "Parks and Rec."

National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR)

Our Services

The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation (FHWAR) is typically conducted every five years and reports results from interviews with U.S. residents about their fishing, hunting, wildlife watching, and other recreation activities. The survey provides participation, expenditure, and activity-day estimates of American outdoor recreation.

Conducted since 1955, the surveys provide information on recent and long-term trends in participation. The wealth of information presented in each survey allows stakeholders, researchers, and agency partners to put current participation in perspective through data on recruitment and retention. Every survey contains an updated snapshot of fishing, hunting, wildlife watching, and other recreational data and includes information that fulfills the needs of both those who want high-level numbers and engaging graphics and those who need to take deeper dives into the data. The surveys also provide information on participants’ gender, age, and other demographics.

2022 Survey Results

The most recently conducted survey publication is the 2022 FHWAR . This survey features data on 2022 participation in fishing, hunting, and wildlife-watching. The survey also provides data on shooters, archers, and boaters. The 2022 estimates should not be directly compared with results from past surveys because of changes in methodology to improve accuracy.

Survey infographics for hunting, angling, wildlife watching, target shooting, and motorized boats are available at partnerwithapayer.org/2022-national-survey/ . 

Past Survey Resources

Select digital historic national surveys, state reports, and addendum resources can be viewed and downloaded from the Past Survey tab .

Our Library

The FHWAR survey library houses single page versions of the most recent survey and accompanying outreach materials as they are developed. 

This single page version of the 2022 Survey is designed for those wanting to print the survey as single pages. It contains the same information and data as the double page booklet version of the document.
