I found this source on the Academic Search Premier database from the Mesa Community College Library website. This is a respectable source because it is on a college library electronic database. This article is about the Roosevelt Conservation Partnership (TCRP) combining with numerous labor unions to form the Union Sportsmen's Alliance (USA). The organization lobby's for the protection of federal wildlife and hunting and fishing access. In addition, the organization had over five million members. This source will be useful for my paper because it shows what people are doing to conserve hunting through organizations. This will be a great example to show in my paper.

Swan, A. James. Why hunters and shooters are the target. 6 December 2006. ESPN Outdoors. 11 October 2007.

I found this source on the ESPN Outdoors hunting website page. This is a respectable source because ESPN Outdoors is a well-known website and television program on ESPN. The article that James Swan wrote is about gun owners and hunters are scrutinized about gun ownership and gun crimes. There is over 70 million people worldwide who participate in shooting sports or own guns. The article proved that gun crime fatalities was lower than swimming fatalities (799 to 1,000). It also talks about how Hunting Education classes are making hunting safer more even than golf. This might be useful to my paper because it talks about what hunters are doing to be safer, but it also strolls away from the elements of my topic.

Burnett, H. Sterling. "Hunters: Founders and Leaders of Wildlife Conservation." Human Events 57 (2001):13. Academic Search Premier. Mesa Community College, Mesa, AZ. 11 October 2007.

I found this source on the Academic Search Premier database on the Mesa Community College Library web page. This is a respectable source because it is on a college library database. The article is about summarizing the important roles of hunters and outdoor organizations in wildlife conservation. In addition, it goes over the U.S. legislation lobbied by hunting organizations. This source will be useful to my paper because I can use this as an example of what people are doing to save hunting and show its benefits it really has to wildlife.
