Abstract

A survey of 46 landowners, or their representatives, indicated 13 received income for providing waterfowl habitat and/or hunting rights to hunters. Gross income per acre ranged from $0.33 to $11.43 and averaged $3.54, while gross income per enterprise averaged $5,250 and ranged from $1,000 to $20,000. Waterfowl habitat can be enhanced by providing food and water areas by individual landowners or through group action such as Small Watershed Projects. Inclusion of water level control devices in channels and judicious placement of spoil can provide significant areas of waterfowl habitat.
