In 1969, Bob Henderson developed a two-volume Wildlife Damage Control Handbook for use by county extension agents throughout Kansas. The handbook was well received and was felt to be of definite value to the overall wildlife damage control program in Kansas.
Bats, Biology, And Control, Stephen P. Kincaid
Bats, Biology, And Control, Stephen P. Kincaid
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Although bats are not commonly thought of as major members of the animal kingdom, they are one of the most numerous of land vertebrates. Bats are thought to have originated in the Old Wordl Tropics and are now almost world-wide in distribution. Bats make up the order Chiroptera, and they are closely related to the hedgehog, shrew and mole.
The Coyote As A Game Animal, Edward L. Kozicky
The Coyote As A Game Animal, Edward L. Kozicky
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Coyote hunting is a very special challenge. Even though coyotes may be abundant in an area, that doesn't mean that they're easy to bag with a rifle. However, I happen to enjoy coyote calling to the point where the shooting is almost anti-climax. Others like to hunt coyotes with either sight or trail hounds, to pursue coyotes with all-terrain vehicles, and to spot coyotes while driving through the country.
Bird Control, Glen Orr
Bird Control, Glen Orr
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
We started our program in 1967 primarily because of an economic problem in the downtown area of Wichita. We had about eight square blocks of businesses which were not getting any business because people didn't dare go downtown in the evening unless they wore their rain hats and rain gear, and I mean this literally.
Prairie Dog Control, A. Orville Sandall
Prairie Dog Control, A. Orville Sandall
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Before poisons were taken from the market, I had about fifteen years experience working for the Fish and Wildlife Service doing prairie dog control work. Most of this work was done for private landowners and supervising work crews for the Forest Service and B&A.
Waterfowl Damage Control, Marvin D. Schwilling
Waterfowl Damage Control, Marvin D. Schwilling
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Waterfowl damage is primarily grain crop depredation that occurs on various agricultural crops, particularly in fall and winter. Field feeding begins as birds flock up on staging areas in preparation for their move along migration routes to the wintering areas.
Ground Squirrels And How To Control Them, Irving J. Mork
Ground Squirrels And How To Control Them, Irving J. Mork
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The Richardson ground squirrel, otherwise known as the flickertail or gray gopher, is common over most of North Dakota north and east of the Missouri River, although they were never common in the immediate Red River Valley.
Fish Population Manipulation, Robert E. Schoonover
Fish Population Manipulation, Robert E. Schoonover
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Fish population manipulation or control, as the term implies, may be defined as an operation or activity which results in the total removal of fish from a water area, the partial elimination of a fish population, or the selective removal of a species from a water area.
Snake Control, Steve Thompson
Snake Control, Steve Thompson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Whether wild animals are benificial or injurious depends on the time and the place. It seems that no one likes to have venomous or even harmless snakes in his corral, in his yard, or even on his doorstep; but every spring and fall many people are confronted with this situation. Many requests are recieved each year on how to rid an area of these unwanted reptiles.

An Overview Of Problem Bird Management - Rural And Urban, Joseph L. Guarino
An Overview Of Problem Bird Management - Rural And Urban, Joseph L. Guarino
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The economic impact of birds on agricultural crops in the U.S. is quite substantial -- perhaps as much as $100 million dollars. Methods for reducing this damage can be categorized as biological, mechanical, and chemical. The chemical approach appears to have the most potential. An avian repellent, methiocarb, has proven to be effective for reducing damage by a variety of species of birds to many sprouting and ripening crops and fruit. An avian chemical frightening agent, 4-aminopyridine (Avitrol), if federall registered for use for protecting ripening field corn and sweet corn and was shown to be effective for reducing damage …
Bird Control, George C. Halazon
Bird Control, George C. Halazon
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
We did a little work with pigeon sterilants six years ago. We didn't really have too much luck on bird control on pigeons because of the life of the pigeon. In other words we couldn't do it fast enough to satisfy the public because of the relatively large numbers of years required before the bird dies.

A Live Trap For Birds Attending A Feeding Station, J.L. Hart, L.L. Todd
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
An effective live trap for capturing nuthatches, titmice, and woodpeckers was constucted from hail screen and modified mouse traps. Over 88 percent of active sets resulted in captures.
Controlling Mole Damage, F. Robert Henderson
Controlling Mole Damage, F. Robert Henderson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The kind of mole found in Kansas is the eastern mole, Scalopus aquaticus. Moles are small, mouse-sized mammals adapted to living underground. They are characterized by enlarged forefeet with long claws, stout necks and powerful shoulders which make them capable burrowers. Unlike those of mice and shrews, the noses and forefeet of moles are pink and hairless.
Progress In Coyote Hunting Depredations Research, Samuel B. Linhart
Progress In Coyote Hunting Depredations Research, Samuel B. Linhart
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Coyote depredations control research from the end of World War II to about 1960 was characterized by low levels of funding, a minimum of research facilities, an emphasis on lethal agents, few legislative restrictions, a lack of public interest, and little concern for the environment. Establishment of the Leopold Committee (1964) and Cain Committee (1971) were evidence of a growing public concern and awareness of the coyote-livestock problem.
Control Of White-Tailed Deer In Field And Orchard, Forrest D. Loomis, Ronald Ogden
Control Of White-Tailed Deer In Field And Orchard, Forrest D. Loomis, Ronald Ogden
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
As deer populations increase in most areas of the mid-west, and deer habitat is constantly shrinking because of man's activities, damage done to crops, orchards, and other plantings is increasing. No new or revolutionary control or repellent has been perfected to alleviate this complex problem. Annual hunting still offers the best and cheapest method of control.

Thoughts About Wildlife Damage Control, Raymond W. Matheny
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Gentleman, it is my intention today to give you a brief history of EPA and its involvement in predator control, outline basic registration requirements for pesticides, show slides of the use of sodium cyanide capsules in the M-44 ejector mechanism in the experimental use permit programs and comment upon the restrictions set forth in Administrator Train's ORDER of September 16, 1975.
Beaver Damage Control, James E. Miller
Beaver Damage Control, James E. Miller
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The beaver (Castor canadensis), our largest North American rodent, is praised by many as being a natural conservationist; however, to others he is a destructive nuisance and pest. In many chronicles, the beaver is lauded to be one of the resources that speeded up the settling of our Great Northwest Territory. Certainly, such explorers as Lewis and Clark depended greatly upon the beaver hide for revenue as well as varter.

Woodchucks And Their Control, Robert H. Smith
Woodchucks And Their Control, Robert H. Smith
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Woodchucks, or groundhogs, (Marmota monax) aer found in the eastern edge of the Great Plains. The first part of the scientific name, Marmota, is the Latin word for "marmot," the name given to the European marmot or the North American marmot which are close relatives of the woodchuck. The last part, monax, is an American Indian name for this rodent and means "the digger"; it alludes to the woodchuck's habit of excavating burrows.
Raccoon Damage Control, W. Alan Wentz
Raccoon Damage Control, W. Alan Wentz
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Raccoons are found throughout the United States, and in most cases they are expanding their range into previously unoccupied habitats. Raccoons are often water-associated, but in the Great Plains they often occur a considerable distance from the water. In the Great Plains states, the expansion of agriculture has apparently allowed raccoons to move westward and northward. It is possible that the availability of old homesteads, buildings, haystacks, dumps, and towns has been instrumental in allowing raccoons to survive the winter.

Welcome, Robert A. Bohannon
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The Workshop which was held two years ago was a success. According to registration records this year, people from all of the Great Plains states are in attendance and 92 persons are registered. We are especially pleased to welcome C.F. Barrett, Supervisor of Animal Pest Control of the Alberta Department of Agriculture who travelled the longest distance to attend.
Tree Squirrel Damage Control, Robert L. Carlton
Tree Squirrel Damage Control, Robert L. Carlton
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Unlike some wildlife species, tree squirrels are treated as game animals in every state where found. Thus, there are often restructions on times when tree squirrels may be controlled. In areas of high human population, there may be restrictions on ways in which squirrels may be controlled. Finally, because of the human affection for squirrels, there may be places where effective control is almost impossible.

Management Of Cats - Felidae In Colorado, Major L. Boddicker
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Panthers, catamounts, pumas, mountain lions have occurred in legend and folklore from the first years of explorers in the new world until today. They are timid shadows of the night which emit blood curdling screams and yowls. They have occasionally (rarely) killed children and adults (Nevada 1974). Have a taste for horseflesh. They feed heavily on deer and have the capability of killing adult elk.
Rabbit Damage Control, Edward K. Boggess
Rabbit Damage Control, Edward K. Boggess
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
In discussing the control of damage caused by rabbits in the Great Plains area it is helpful to distinguish between the true rabbits, of the genus Sylvilagus, and the so-called jackrabbits, of the genus Lepus, which are really hares. Laws governing the control of rabbit damage vary between states. In Kansas, no poisons can be used for controlling rabbits. This leaves basically three approaches to solving a rabbit damage problem. These are: removal, exclusion and the use of repellents.
Feral Mammal Damage And Control, Philip S. Gipson
Feral Mammal Damage And Control, Philip S. Gipson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Feral populations of five domestic mammals, dogs (Canis familiaris), house cats (Felis catus), hogs (Sus scrofa), burros (Equus asinus) and horses (Equis caballus), presently occur in North America. At times these animals cause problems, damaging crops or livestock, or competing with livestock and native wildlife for food and living space. Free-living bands of a sixth species, cattle (Bos taurus), formerly occurred in the Southwest. Feral mammals are adaptable, and they have become a permanent part of the fauna in many states. Researchers generally ignored feral mammals in the past, although numerous reports have been published in the past 10 years. …
