Kansas Predator Damage Control Program, F. Robert Henderson Jan 1973

Kansas Predator Damage Control Program, F. Robert Henderson

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

The Extension Division is the off-campus arm of Kansas State University~ a land grant university functioning through 105 county Extension offices involving over 265 county Extension workers that are backed up by some 175 state and area subject matter specialists. Kansas is an agricultural state. The production of livestock in Kansas is an important industry to our state and nation.

Our predator damage control program is an educational effort directed at the goal of reducing livestock losses where possible on individual farms and ranches, in Kansas. Our program has been in existence since 1954. A very important aspect of our …


Coyote Denning As A Method Of Damage Control, Walden C. Lemm Jan 1973

Coyote Denning As A Method Of Damage Control, Walden C. Lemm

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

The coyote denning operation is a useful method in coyote control, both to control populations and to eliminate problem animals, but a thorough knowledge of coyote behavior prior to and during the denning season is essential for productive results.

Coyotes do not dig their own dens, but enlarge existing holes dug by other animals, often those dug by badgers. Coyote den holes are not difficult to distinguish from holes dug by smaller animals. Being long-legged animals, their den entrances are elongated vertically instead of being round like those of badgers and other short-legged animals.

An Assessment Of The Coyote Problem In The Great Plains States, Dale A. Wade Jan 1973

An Assessment Of The Coyote Problem In The Great Plains States, Dale A. Wade

Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings

It has now been 21 months since President Nixon's Executive Order #11643 was issued and there has been a complete annual reproductive cycle in the coyote population of the western states without any major influence by chemical controls. The use of mechanical controls, including non-lethal methods, and greater emphasis on removing only specific offending animals has been advocated during this time as a solution where coyotes prey on domestic animals. With this brief look back, what have been the results?

We do not have absolute data on coyote numbers and livestock depredations resulting from this change in coyote management programs. …


Fisheries Report No 12 - Results Of A Biological Survey Of A Proposed Wildlife Sanctuary At Dragon Rocks Near Hyden, Western Australia, N. L. Mckenzie, A. A. Burbidge, N. G. Marchant Jan 1973

Fisheries Report No 12 - Results Of A Biological Survey Of A Proposed Wildlife Sanctuary At Dragon Rocks Near Hyden, Western Australia, N. L. Mckenzie, A. A. Burbidge, N. G. Marchant

Fisheries Research Reports

In 1972, three visits were made to an area of vacant crown lam 30 kilometres south-south~east of Hyden, Western Australia.

A preliminary survey was made in April 1972 and following this recommendations were made on the equipment and staff required for a detailed survey of the vegetation and animals.

From the 30th July to the 4th August 1972, a team from the Fauna Research Branch of the Department of Fisheries and Fauna began a detailed fauna survey.

Between the 20th August and the 25th August 1972, the fauna survey was continued am a botanist from the Western Australian Herbarium undertook …
