Efficacy Of Turf Shield Repellent On Reducing Damage By Canada Geese And Mallards, Leonard Askham
Efficacy Of Turf Shield Repellent On Reducing Damage By Canada Geese And Mallards, Leonard Askham
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Concentrations of 1/2 to 8 gal of Bird Shield repellent were tested to assess their efficacy on Canada geese and Mallards, determine their potential longevity under natural conditions, and develop strategies to control the bird's use of turf grass areas where they had become physical, aesthetic or health problems to the resource's manager. During the first phase of the trials, each of the concentrations appeared to reduce the birds' use of the treated sites when compared with the untreated control sites. During the second phase of the trial, efficacy was more pronounced when a day use area at a state …
Food Habits Of Mountain Lions In The Trans-Pecos Region Of Texas, Rosemary A. Heinen, S. Kemble Canon
Food Habits Of Mountain Lions In The Trans-Pecos Region Of Texas, Rosemary A. Heinen, S. Kemble Canon
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Information regarding mountain lion (Felis concolor) food habits is relatively scarce overall, and this is particularly true in the Trans-Pecos region of Texas. Most information currently available is from Big Bend National Park where livestock are excluded and game animals are not actively managed. This study involved the analysis of 32 mountain lion stomachs collected throughout the Trans-Pecos over a 14 month period. Deer (Odocoileus spp.) and javelina (Tayassu tajacu) were the predominate prey species, each occurring in 39% of the stomachs analyzed. Domestic livestock was found in 9% of the total stomachs and non-game …

Dealing With The Media, Stuart Mcdonald
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
You have to ask yourself, why would you start a technical session dealing with communications. You know we are all here to learn various aspects of our trade. Why start it out with a session on communications? Well, let me give you the answer to that one. The success of every enterprise depends on public goodwill. When I first read that I thought, yes, in a free society the success of every enterprise depends on public goodwill. But then the Berlin wall came down, communism collapsed and you realize that even tyranny cannot withstand the pressure of public goodwill. So, …
Depredation On Artificial Ground Nests By Japanese Macaques: The Unspoken Exotic In Texas, Justin G. Feild, Scott E. Henke, Justin G. Mccoy
Depredation On Artificial Ground Nests By Japanese Macaques: The Unspoken Exotic In Texas, Justin G. Feild, Scott E. Henke, Justin G. Mccoy
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata) are old world monkeys that were introduced to Texas in 1972, and their population has since increased to over 800 individuals. Macaques are considered to be primarily vegetarian but will opportunistically forage on a variety of food items. Therefore, the objective of this study was to determine if macaques impact the nest success of bobwhite quail (Colinus virginianus). In June 1996, 20 artificial ground nests simulating those of bobwhite quail were placed randomly in areas with and without macaques. Nests were checked at 3-day intervals for 24 days and nest success was …

Teaching Youth Wildlife Damage Management Principles Comparing Techniques (How To’S And Helpful Hints), Dallas A. Virchow, Denny M. Hogeland
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Youth need to receive research-based information about wildlife damage management principles and techniques so they can make wise decisions regarding issues. Educators also need to identify the best techniques for specific ages. We presented wildlife damage management topics on 70 separate occasions to over 4,500 youth in Nebraska’s Panhandle from 1993 through 1996. Youth, ages 7 through 10 year old, comprised the majority of the audience. Presentations included a furbearer pelt display and illustration of fur preparation, wildlife population influences using interactive games and demonstrations, wildlife damage principles using lecture, video, small group discussion and demonstration, and historical changes in …
Livestock Protection Collar Use In California, Robert M. Timm, Gary D. Simmons, John R. Hays
Livestock Protection Collar Use In California, Robert M. Timm, Gary D. Simmons, John R. Hays
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Use of the Livestock Protection Collar (LP Collar) containing sodium fluoroacetate began on a research basis in October 1995 at the UC Hopland Research and Extension Center. Registration for use in California only by certified ADC specialists was granted in early 1996, and operational use in three north coast counties began in early 1997. Preparation for beginning operational use dealt with concerns regarding user certification, hazardous waste disposal, and public relations. We report on the success to date of using LP Collars to remove sheep-killing coyotes. Incidents in which non-target predators including mountain lions have attacked LP-Collared sheep are also …
White-Tailed Deer Activity, Contraception, And Estrous Cycling, Stephen A. Schumake, Gary Killian
White-Tailed Deer Activity, Contraception, And Estrous Cycling, Stephen A. Schumake, Gary Killian
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Reliable activity measures in free-ranging white-tailed deer could be useful for the assessment of estrous cycling and general activity changes that can occur after immunocontraceptive vaccine treatments. Electronic data-logging (CountcardTM) devices attached to 9 white-tailed doe deer on neck collars were used to monitor their movement activities during 2 rutting seasons in 2.5 acre fenced enclosures. Direct daily behavioral observations on buck responses toward individual does were used to detect estrus and to validate changes in 24-hour activity counts as another indication of estrous cycling. When individual activity counts for the estrus days on the does were compared …
Dealing With Different Audiences: Special Interest Groups, Guy R. Hodge
Dealing With Different Audiences: Special Interest Groups, Guy R. Hodge
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
One of the classic cases of clashing special interests can be found in Brownsville, Texas, just a few miles from the border with Mexico. On the outskirts of town is a location that has become as much a gathering place for bird watchers as it is for birds. The site, referred to informally as the Mexican Crow Sanctuary, is the only reliable location in the United States to observe this species. Each year, visiting birders pump millions of dollars into the local economy while pursuing the Mexican crow. But not everyone looks with favor at the presence of the birds. …
Sheep Predation By Coyotes: A Behavioral Analysis, Ray T. Sterner
Sheep Predation By Coyotes: A Behavioral Analysis, Ray T. Sterner
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
This paper presents (1) a brief overview of several concepts important to predator-prey behaviors of coyotes, (2) results of an enclosure study of sheep-attack, -immobilization, and -ingestion responses involving 12 male coyotes (Canis latrans) that were paired with sheep after observing various sheep- predation events by conspecifics, and (3) an analysis of sheep predation based upon operant learning principles. Contrasts between comparative psychological and ethological approaches to the study of animal behavior are described. Results of the enclosure study (0.127-ha) showed that following matched-length trials of observing predation, non-predation, and lone sheep, 3, 2, and 1 coyote(s), respectively, …

Dealing With Wildlife Professionals, Scott E. Hygnstrom
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
A relatively small, but highly influential audience that we need to address includes all professional wildlife biologists. But wildlife biologists come in all shapes and sizes. To be an effective educator, you need to properly identify your audience and a proper medium in which to deliver your message.
Experimental Rodent Control At The Beef Cattle Research Center, Kansas State University, Philip S. Gipson, Charles D. Lee, Matthew L. Burenheide, Jan F. Kamler, Justin E. Kretzer, Daniel J. Martin, Celine C. Perchellet, Chad M. Willemssen, Jennifer Weins
Experimental Rodent Control At The Beef Cattle Research Center, Kansas State University, Philip S. Gipson, Charles D. Lee, Matthew L. Burenheide, Jan F. Kamler, Justin E. Kretzer, Daniel J. Martin, Celine C. Perchellet, Chad M. Willemssen, Jennifer Weins
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Little research has been conducted on rodent control techniques in livestock feedlot situations. We tested efficacy of several treatments including two anticoagulant baits, an acute toxicant and snap trapping to reduce rodent populations at the Beef Cattle Research Center at Kansas State University. Among the four treatments utilized, Contrac®, Blox®, and Ditrac® Tracking Powder reduced the number of active burrows. ZP® Rodent Bait had no observed effect on the rodent population and no rodents were taken with snap traps. Burrow activity appears to be a better census method when compared to corn consumption when rodents have access to unlimited food.
Mole Census Techniques, Richard M. Poche
Mole Census Techniques, Richard M. Poche
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Effective mole control is often difficult to achieve. Various types of traps, baits, and fumigants have been developed over the years to reduce mole damage to lawns, golf courses, and other areas. Two studies were conducted in the St. Louis, Missouri area to field test products currently registered by the EPA for mole control. Reliable census methods are required to determine efficacy. The best method used was the hole punch method. It consisted of punching 1.9-2.5 cm diameter holes (using a blunt end broom stick) into the top of a mole shallow tunnel. The punched holes were examined 48 hours …
Dealing With The Policy Makers, Herb Manig
Dealing With The Policy Makers, Herb Manig
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
First, “Why would policy makers be interested in wildlife damage control in the first place?” In response, I would have to say that the problems with wildlife are increasing in number, diversity and complexity. Policy makers cannot afford to ignore controversies caused by them. We have problems in transportation with deer/automobiles collisions. We have airplane engines ingesting birds. We have health problems with respect to disease. Wildlife damage costs money. We also have problems with aesthetics. Some of the homeowners may not lose a lot of money when deer nibble their shrubs but they certainly don't like the looks of …
Use Of Netted-Cage Traps In Population Management And Research Of Urban White-Tailed Deer, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Jeff Beringer, Scott Hygnstrom
Use Of Netted-Cage Traps In Population Management And Research Of Urban White-Tailed Deer, Kurt C. Vercauteren, Jeff Beringer, Scott Hygnstrom
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Growing populations of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in urban areas often conflict with local human interests and present challenges to natural resource managers. Netted-cage traps can be an important tool for management of urban deer populations where traditional control methods may not be appropriate or acceptable. We discuss the design of netted-cage traps, trapping techniques, and the handling of trapped deer.

Elk Vs. Livestock: Forage Utilization Study In Portions Of The Gila National Forest., Michael Treadaway, V.W. Howard Jr., Chris D. Allison, Jon C. Boren
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
In areas where elk (Cervus elephus) and livestock, mainly cattle (Bos taurus), occupy the same rangeland the potential for competition exists, which may adversely effect each species. Competition between these herbivores may occur for herbaceous vegetation in areas with high elk numbers and moderate livestock numbers. In portions of the Gila National Forest some ranchers claim that the steady increase in elk numbers has caused them to run livestock numbers below that allocated by the United States Forest Service. This has resulted in numerous management challenges including the management of forage utilization for livestock and wildlife. …
Mylar Flags As Gull Deterrents, Jerrold L. Belant, Sheri K. Ickes
Mylar Flags As Gull Deterrents, Jerrold L. Belant, Sheri K. Ickes
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
During 1996, we evaluated the effectiveness of mylar flags for deterring herring gulls (Larus argentatus) from 2 nesting colonies (roof and breakwall) and herring and ring-billed (L. deglawarensis) gulls from 2 loafing sites at a landfill. Mylar flags (15 cm x 1.0 m) attached to wire or lathe supports were positioned at 6-m intervals at nesting colonies and 3- to 12-m intervals at loafing areas. For both nesting colonies, time of nest initiation, nest density, and clutch size in 1996 when flags were present was similar to or greater than values obtained for these parameters at …
Nonlethal Control Techniques Used To Manage Blackbird Damage To Sunflower, David L. Bergman, Timothy L. Pugh, Louis E. Huffman
Nonlethal Control Techniques Used To Manage Blackbird Damage To Sunflower, David L. Bergman, Timothy L. Pugh, Louis E. Huffman
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Since 1986, nonlethal management techniques have been used by the North Dakota and South Dakota Animal Damage Control programs to reduce blackbird damage to sunflower. The use of propane cannons, pyrotechnics, hazing, and cattail management is discussed. Currently, the primary program for both States is cattail management.

The Coyote As An Ecological Model, Thomas A. Eddy, Cindy M. Moore
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Teachers (K-12) in a prairie ecology workshop in Kansas used the coyote as the focus for the design of an educational strategy to integrate many concepts and principles of ecology into the various subject areas of the curriculum. A topical outline was developed as a guide for implementing the study.
Technical Publication Of Wildlife Damage Research, Michael W. Fall, William B. Jackson
Technical Publication Of Wildlife Damage Research, Michael W. Fall, William B. Jackson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The growth of the subdiscipline of wildlife damage research is producing a wealth of scientific information about methods of resolving conflicts between animals and people. Scientists working on these problems have, for many years, found difficulty in publishing the results of their applied research investigations in traditional scientific journal outlets, leading to a diverse information base that encompasses a variety of technical journals and a large “gray” literature in non-refereed publications. Although a number of current scientific journals welcome papers reporting the results of wildlife damage research, the identification of suitable primary outlets for such work, particularly for studies conducted …
Cultural Control Of Damage To Alfalfa Caused By Pocket Gophers, Ronald M. Case, Debra Baker, James Luchsinger, Bruce Jasch
Cultural Control Of Damage To Alfalfa Caused By Pocket Gophers, Ronald M. Case, Debra Baker, James Luchsinger, Bruce Jasch
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
In 1989 we postulated that using different varieties of alfalfa might minimize damages caused by pocket gophers (Geomys spp.). We tested a tap-rooted variety (Wrangler) and a fibrous-rooted variety (Spredor 2). From previous studies, Wrangler out performs Spredor 2 by as much as 27% by the fourth year after planting. Spredor 2, however, has a creeping habit and it sends up new shoots on lateral roots. When a root breaks, it sends up new shoots. Therefore, we predicted that Spredor 2 would be damaged less by below-ground foraging by plains pocket gophers (G. Bursarius). Additionally, Spredor 2 …
Gifford Point/Fontenelle Forest Urban Deer Survival And Case Study, Jason D. Ekstein, Scott E. Hygnstrom
Gifford Point/Fontenelle Forest Urban Deer Survival And Case Study, Jason D. Ekstein, Scott E. Hygnstrom
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
From 1995-1996, we radio collared and/or ear tagged 98 white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in an urban area of Bellevue, Nebraska. We determined the density to be 44 deer/km2 and observed the movements of 52 collared does. The managed hunt and harvest results are discussed.
