This study shows the importance of hunting with the creation of wildlife preserve.  It gives proof and evidence that hunting does bring more money for conservation, but for other business as well.

Minnesota Department of Conservation.  1964.  Waterfowl in Minnesota.

        Although this book is outdated, it was useful in researching the historical aspects of         waterfowl hunting in Minnesota.  It is a very comprehensive book covering                     everything from duck and goose species identification to biological studies of the             time.

Rossman, George.  1982.  Duck Hunting in Northern Minnesota:  Recollections of 50 Years.  Grand Rapids:  Northprint Company.

        This book was a combination of book and diary.  Although it was focused on                 experiences in Northern Minnesota, it still had useful historic information such as             state duck population numbers.

        This paper is useful because it goes into more of the why and how organizations             can be so successful in protecting habitat.  They do a good job of arguing for                 hunting and how it benefits more than just hunters and waterfowl, but other species         as well.

This report focused on current waterfowl populations of each individual species.  It had population data since surveys have been taken.  It was very useful in determining the overall status of waterfowl populations.
