Aerial Hunting Takes Sheep-Killing Coyotes In Western Montana, Guy Connolly, Bart W. O'Gara
Aerial Hunting Takes Sheep-Killing Coyotes In Western Montana, Guy Connolly, Bart W. O'Gara
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
This paper reports limited data to document that depredating coyotes were shot from a helicopter in western Montana in 1976. Coyotes marked themselves by puncturing diphacinone-filled collars on the necks of sheep they attacked. Subsequently, 11 coyotes were shot from a helicopter on 3 ranches where collared sheep had been attacked. Six coyotes contained diphacinone and thus were confirmed as having recently attacked or fed on collared sheep.
Control Of Ecosystem Processes By Prairie Dogs And Other Grassland Herbivores, James K. Detling, April D. Whicker
Control Of Ecosystem Processes By Prairie Dogs And Other Grassland Herbivores, James K. Detling, April D. Whicker
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Black-tailed prairie dogs in the mixed-grass prairie at Wind Cave National Park, South Dakota, create habitat patches characterized by altered species composition, lower standing crops of plants, but higher forage quality. Native wildlife species such as bison, pronghorn, and elk preferentially feed on these prairie dog colonies and likely derive nutritional benefits from doing so.
Efficacy Of Deferred Grazing In Reducing Prairie Dog Reinfestation Rates, Kelly A. Cable, Robert M. Timm
Efficacy Of Deferred Grazing In Reducing Prairie Dog Reinfestation Rates, Kelly A. Cable, Robert M. Timm
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Population growth of black-tailed prairie dogs (Cynomys ludovicianus) was studied in 1985 and 1986 at 20 prairie dog towns on short- and mixed-grass rangeland in western Nebraska, to determine the efficacy of 2 years deferred (May 1 - Sept. 1) grazing in reducing population growth rates following population reduction. In 1985, population growth measures on deferred sites were not significantly different from grazed sites, perhaps due to drought conditions. In 1986, natality and population growth (% increase in animals) were significantly lower on deferred sites than on sites grazed by livestock. Deferred sites studied both years showed significant …
Overwater Nesting By Ducks: A Review And Management Implications, Stephen H. Bouffard, David E. Sharp, Carol C. Evans
Overwater Nesting By Ducks: A Review And Management Implications, Stephen H. Bouffard, David E. Sharp, Carol C. Evans
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Nest success of overwater duck nests is generally higher than nests in upland sites. A review of the literature indicated that the major factors limiting success of overwater nests were fluctuating water levels, nest parasitism, predation, and human disturbance. Regional patterns of the occurrence of these factors could not be discerned. General management guidelines for improved recruitment and reduced nesting female mortality are suggested.
A Statistical Model Of Expansion In A Colony Of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs, R. P. Cincotta, D. W. Uresk, R. M. Hansen
A Statistical Model Of Expansion In A Colony Of Black-Tailed Prairie Dogs, R. P. Cincotta, D. W. Uresk, R. M. Hansen
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
To predict prairie dog establishment in areas adjacent to a colony we sampled: (1) VISIBILITY through the vegetation using a target, (2) POPULATION DENSITY at the colony edge, (3) DISTANCE from the edge to the potential site of settlement, and (4) % FORB COVER. Step-wise regression analysis indicated that establishment of prairie dogs in adjacent prairie was most likely to occur when an area was near a densely populated colony edge with high visibility through the vegetation.
Prairie Dog Control—A Regulatory Viewpoint, Dennis C. Clarke
Prairie Dog Control—A Regulatory Viewpoint, Dennis C. Clarke
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Prairie dogs and their control are complex issues. At this conference we've heard numerous speakers discuss a wide variety of topics concerning the organism's effect on range and man's attempts to deal with those effects. It appears one could make a case for or against the prairie dog depending on his own particular situation and experience. While the organism is a natural part of the prairie ecosystem, it may not be a desirable inhabitant of a livestock producers range when its population goes unchecked.
This leads to conflict. The prairie dog becomes a biopolitical issue. On one hand it evolved …

Policy And Goals Of The U.S. Fish And Wildlife Service, Harold A. Doty
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
A recent memo out of our regional office says that we shall refer to this subject as seasonal predator management. You know it covers a lot of other terms; we used to call it predator control and so on. But going back to the origins of predator management in this country, we generally think of protecting domestic crops, be it trees or grains or sheep or cattle.
If you turn in another direction and look towards Europe, you can see many centuries of involvement in use of the land. There game is a product of the land and is owned …
Importance Of Attractant Qualities For Improving A New Coyote Delivery System, Steven M. Ebbert, Daniel B. Fagre
Importance Of Attractant Qualities For Improving A New Coyote Delivery System, Steven M. Ebbert, Daniel B. Fagre
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Changes in effectiveness and nontarget species selectivity of a new system for delivering ingestible substances to coyotes (Canis latrans) were examined by systematically varying odor type and quantity used to attract coyotes to the device. The new delivery system's efficacy was comparable to the M-44 in our tests in south Texas. A synthetic lure improved the effectiveness of the delivery system when applied in amounts of 0.10 cc or 0.50 cc. Varying odor type did not increase the incidence of desirable coyote behavior, such as biting, but did increase rates of visitation.
The Lure Crop Alternative, Steven D. Fairaizl, William K. Pfeifer
The Lure Crop Alternative, Steven D. Fairaizl, William K. Pfeifer
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Lure crops are proposed as an alternative to scaring waterfowl. The lure crop works on the principle of permitting waterfowl to feed undisturbed for the duration of the damage season in an unharvested field of their choice thereby utilizing trampled grain. Waterfowl from adjacent areas are encouraged to use the lure crop through the use of scaring devices placed in protected fields. General criteria for implementation of a lure crop project and specific criteria for lure crop purchases are presented. Factors contributing to a successful lure crop and problems which reduced lure crop effectiveness are identified. Benefit/cost analysis of lure …

Arthropod Consumption By Small Mammals On Prairie Dog Colonies And Adjacent Ungrazed Mixed Grass Prairie In Western South Dakota, W. Agnew, D. W. Uresk, R. M. Hansen
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The percentage of arthropods and plants in the diets of seven small rodents captured on prairie dog colonies and adjacent mixed grasslands were estimated by microhistological techniques. Arthropod composition over the two year study averaged 51% and 37% on prairie dog colonies and mixed grasslands, respectively. Composition of arthropods on prairie dog colonies was greater during the summer than in late spring or late summer. Conversely, arthropods made up a considerably smaller percentage of small mammal diets in the summer on mixed grasslands. Nearly twice as many small mammals, excluding prairie dogs, were trapped on prairie dog colonies than on …
Field Study—Steel Versus Lead In Aerial Hunting, Duane Bernstein, David Nelson
Field Study—Steel Versus Lead In Aerial Hunting, Duane Bernstein, David Nelson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The purpose of this study is to get an objective measure of the comparative performance of steel and lead when used in aerial hunting. Comparisons will be made by patterning lead and steel from 35 and 45 yards using improved cylinder and modified shotgun barrels. Tests will be conducted from the ground and air to compare penetration by lead and steel.

The results of about 12 years' study deals with rodent damage to several annual and perennial crops of India including cereal, vegetable, fruit, plantation and other cash crops. The rodent species composition in order of predominance infesting different crops and cropping patterns percent damages and cost effectiveness of rodent control operations in each crop and status of rodent management by predators are analysed.
Historical And Present Status Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Dean E. Biggins, Max H. Schroeder
Historical And Present Status Of The Black-Footed Ferret, Dean E. Biggins, Max H. Schroeder
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes) was once widely distributed in the Great Plains and intermountain valleys of North America, its range overlapping the combined ranges of several species of prairie dogs (Cynomys spp.). Most life history information has been obtained from studies of ferrets in southwestern South Dakota (1964-1974) and studies near Meeteetse, Wyoming (1981-present). The ferret's nearly complete dependence on prairie dogs was documented in both study areas. The recent collapse of the Meeteetse population of ferrets due to an outbreak of canine distemper underscores the threat posed by this disease, but reductions of prairie dogs …
Control Methods For Objectional Roosts Of Purple Martins, Albert E. Bivings Iv
Control Methods For Objectional Roosts Of Purple Martins, Albert E. Bivings Iv
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Multi-thousand bird roosts of Purple Martins (Progne subis) occasionally form in the South during the early summer (June-July). Nightly depositions of fecal material create considerable nuisance and potential health problems. Since they are federally protected migratory birds and have legions of bird-lovers trying to increase their populations, lethal controls are unlikely to be popular or even permitted. Control techniques including plastic netting (partial or complete exclusion), active scaring and modification of building schedules are discussed and evaluated. Plastic netting was observed to be the most successful long-term solution.
Decoying Coyotes With Dogs, Gary J. Rowley, Delyle Rowley
Decoying Coyotes With Dogs, Gary J. Rowley, Delyle Rowley
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Decoy dogs, used in conjunction with a predator call or coyote howl, are an effective technique to reduce coyote depredation on domestic sheep ranges during the spring and summer when coyotes are highly territorial and aggressively protect their young and den area. Trained decoy dogs, when chased by coyotes, return to their owner bringing the coyotes into shooting range. The type of dogs used successfully for this work is discussed.

Welcome From The Great Plains Agricultural Council, Robert L. Storch
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
On behalf of the Great Plains Agricultural Council and other sponsoring agencies, I want to welcome you to the 8th Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop. From the very first session that was held in 1973 at Manhattan, Kansas, this workshop has consistently enjoyed a high level of success, and we believe this year's effort will be no exception. Being approximately a year and a half since the last workshop in San Antonio, we were initially concerned about the amount of interest that would be shown in this year's workshop. However, in looking at the number and quality of the …
Policy And Goals In The Private Sector, Rick Warhurst
Policy And Goals In The Private Sector, Rick Warhurst
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Today I am supposed to talk about policy and goals for predator management and control to enhance waterfowl production in the private sector. The private sector includes a wide array of interests. Each of you probably has a particular opinion. You have already observed some different thinking, some different languages, in reference to predator control from previous panel members. If you extrapolate that over the whole United States population, which would be the private sector, it would include a wide array of interests and thoughts.
Duck Nest Success On South Dakota Game Production Areas, S. Gay Simpson
Duck Nest Success On South Dakota Game Production Areas, S. Gay Simpson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
Duck nesting success was studied on South Dakota Game Production Areas in 1985 and 1986. Mayfield success rates for all species combined were 28.0 and 28.4 percent, respectively. Predators were responsible for nearly 90 percent of nest failures. Results from lake Albert Island and Hogsback served to demonstrate potential for intensive management to increase duck nesting success.
Consider Using Electric Powered Fences For Controlling Animal Damage, Robert E. Steger
Consider Using Electric Powered Fences For Controlling Animal Damage, Robert E. Steger
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
The use of electronics in animal damage control is not new. The use of amplified frequencies or sound has been widely used for controlling insects, rats, and other kinds of animals. Recent innovations for uses of electric powered fences are being recognized. Animals heretofore managed by expensive predacides or physical barriers are being managed with electric powered barriers. For example, caterpillars are being economically managed in New Zealand with the use of one electrical wire slightly above ground level. This application is being made possible because electric powered fences are 1) economical; 2)effective; 3) provide flexibility; and 4) are relatively …

Politics, Prairie Dogs, And The Sportsman, John Sharps
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
I would like to speak to you today about potential economic and biological values of prairie dogs. When I refer to prairie dogs throughout my talk, I'm referring only to the prairie dogs on the National Grasslands Systems in western South Dakota. Prairie dogs have great economic potential to sportsmen and the general public and also act as ecosystem regulators to grassland plant and animal communities, and as such, could enhance both potentials if managed differently.
Policy And Goals Of The State Of South Dakota, Gay Simpson
Policy And Goals Of The State Of South Dakota, Gay Simpson
Great Plains Wildlife Damage Control Workshop Proceedings
I am to address the policy of the Department of Game, Fish and Parks toward predator control and management in relation to waterfowl. Waterfowl has always had a high priority with the state of South Dakota. As a state agency, we could have said "let the Feds do it," but we did not take that approach (1) because South Dakota is a production state, lying where it does on the northern end of the Central Flyway, and (2) because we have a healthy population of waterfowl hunters. We sell about 40,000 duck stamps annually. The Department has recognized the importance …
