  • History of Wildlife Management in West Virginia
    History of Wildlife Management in West Virginia This article is a synthesis of two documents: a popular article for Wonderful West Virginia magazine written by Walt Lesser in 1996 and a comprehensive Historical Review of Game Management written by Jack Cromer in 2002. Both authors are retired wildlife biologists from the DNR Wildlife Resources Section. rom time to time, a look at the past prevents repeating mistakes or, at least provides satisfaction in seeing progress. In retrospect, the wildlife management profession in West Virginia experienced the Fsame ills and shortcomings that were typical elsewhere. Human population expansion, industrial growth and development of steam power all led to the exploitation of this state’s timber and wildlife resources following the Civil War. Such settlement and exploitation led to critically reduced numbers of some species, causing much concern to some people searching for means to change the course of events. History has shown that wildlife management usually started with the control of hunting followed by refuge establishment, “vermin control,” restocking (game farming), and environmental controls (habitat protection and enhancement). Laws and Law Enforcement Several species of large animals native to West Virginia were all killed off before hunting laws were passed. Elk, woodland bison and gray wolves were among the casualties. When West Virginia assumed statehood in 1863, it adopted a code of game and fish laws that had been enacted in the State of Virginia in 1849. The West Virginia Legislature passed its first law protecting wildlife in 1869 – killing game between February 14 and September 15, and killing certain species of birds was prohibited.

  • Environmental Health: Control of Classification # Vermin/Pest 4005R-A
    416R EFFECTIVE DATE SUBJECT 04/04/14 ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH: CONTROL OF CLASSIFICATION # VERMIN/PEST 4005R-A DISTRIBUTION APPROVED FOR WEB POSTING PAGE 2 OF A 10 PAGES X YES NO IV. PROCEDURE A. Integrated Pest Management Program The Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program is a three pronged approach to vermin/pest control. The program components are sanitation, vermin proofing, and the use of traps and the most target specific, least toxic pesticides to control and prevent vermin and pest activity. An effective sanitation program decreases the food supply and provision of shelter necessary for the habitation of vermin and pests. Vermin proofing consists of “building out” vermin and pests thereby preventing access into the facility. The identification and remediation of vermin entry points, including, but not limited to, missing and torn screens, missing drain covers, holes, gaps and separations along the floor, wall and ceiling, and missing door sweeps is essential to a successful IPM program. All staff members shall generate work orders to abate these conditions. Utilization of traps and the least toxic, most target specific pesticides is the final component of the program. B. Duties and Responsibilities 1. Commanding Officers shall ensure: a. All areas of the facility are clean and free of vermin entry points; b. All vermin related deficiencies cited on the public health sanitarian reports and other regulatory agency and oversight agency reports are abated expeditiously; c. All schedules and inspections detailed in this directive are adhered to; d. Adequate staffing is provided for all vermin/pest related tasks; e. All garbage, refuse, and recyclables are stored in tightly secured containers; f.

  • ABSTRACT RABON, DAVID REID, JR. Factors Affecting Reproduction
    ABSTRACT RABON, DAVID REID, JR. Factors Affecting Reproduction in the Red Wolf ( Canis rufus ). (Under the direction of Dr. Harold F. Heatwole). The endangered red wolf ( Canis rufus ) was preserved in captivity with just 14 founders following its planned extirpation in the wild. Longitudinal reproductive events were investigated to determine whether inbreeding, parental age, and breeding experience were factors in reproductive performance and fitness. A behavioral preference study using olfactory presentations of conspecific and congeneric social odors also was conducted to determine those factors that are important in the selection of mates. Over 30 years of managed breeding, the level of inbreeding in the captive population has increased, and litter size has declined. Inbreeding levels were lower in sires and dams that reproduced than in those that did not reproduce, but there was no difference in the level of inbreeding of actual and predicted litters. Litter size was negatively affected by offspring and paternal levels of inbreeding, but the effect of inbreeding on offspring survival was restricted to a positive influence. Younger wolves were more likely to reproduce, and were more likely to produce larger litters, than were older individuals. The age of the dam, but not the sire, had a significant negative effect on pup survival. Sires and dams that had prior experience in the production of offspring were more likely to reproduce again than were individuals without prior reproductive success, but prior sexual experience alone was not a factor in the production of offspring. Parental breeding experience had a significant negative effect on pup survival, but no apparent relationships with size or sex ratio of the litter.

  • Yellowstone Wolf Project: Annual Report, 1997
    Suggested citation: Smith, D.W. 1998. Yellowstone Wolf Project: Annual Report, 1997. National Park Service, Yellowstone Center for Resources, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, YCR-NR- 98-2. Yellowstone Wolf Project Annual Report 1997 Douglas W. Smith National Park Service Yellowstone Center for Resources Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming YCR-NR-98-2 BACKGROUND Although wolf packs once roamed from the Arctic tundra to Mexico, they were regarded as danger- ous predators, and gradual loss of habitat and deliberate extermination programs led to their demise throughout most of the United States. By 1926 when the National Park Service (NPS) ended its predator control efforts, Yellowstone had no wolf packs left. In the decades that followed, the importance of the wolf as part of a naturally functioning ecosystem came to be better understood, and the gray wolf (Canis lupus) was eventually listed as an endangered species in all of its traditional range except Alaska. NPS policy calls for restoring native species that have been eliminated as a result of human activity if adequate habitat exists to support them and the species can be managed so as not to pose a serious threat to people or property outside the park. Because of its size and the abundant prey that existed here, Yellowstone was an obvious choice as a place where wolf restoration would have a good chance of succeeding. The designated recovery area includes the entire Greater Yellowstone Area. The goal of the wolf restoration program is to maintain at least 10 breeding wolf pairs in Greater Yellowstone as it is for the other two recovery areas in central Idaho and northwestern Montana.

  • A Death of Ethics: Is Hunting Destroying Itself?
    https://mountainjournal.org/hunting-in-america-faces-an-ethical-reckoning A Death Of Ethics: Is Hunting Destroying Itself? From killing baboon families to staging predator-killing contests, hunters stand accused of violating the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. Now they’re being called out by their own by Todd Wilkinson Coyote taken in a winter predator hunt in Wyoming. Photo credit: #chasin_fur Instagram Right now, as you read these words, it is perfectly legal in the state of Wyoming for a person to climb on the back of a snowmobile and chase down wild wolves, pursuing them until they drop from physical exhaustion. And, if that’s not enough, you can then run them over relentlessly with the machine, injuring them until they die. You don’t need a hunting license, nor even a bullet to kill a wolf. You can do the above with impunity across roughly 85 percent of Wyoming which, as the “Cowboy State” encompasses almost 98,000 square miles, including vast sweeps of public land and excluding only federal wilderness and places where motorized restrictions apply. You don’t need a reason to justify your actions either. Even if game wardens were to bear witness, it is highly unlikely you would catch any flak—unless your conduct happened to startle a deer, elk, pronghorn or domestic cow or horse, and then you might earn a scolding for harassing wildlife or livestock. In fact, wolves, which were recently taken off the list of federally-protected species and their management handed over to the state unconditionally in 2017, can be killed by virtually any means, any time of day, any day of the year, without limit in most of Wyoming.

  • Vermont Coyote Population Report
    VERMONT FISH & WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT VERMONT COYOTE POPULATION REPORT Submitted to: Vermont Legislature House Committee on Natural Resources, Fish and Wildlife and Senate Committee on Natural Resources and Energy Submitted by: Louis Porter, Commissioner Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department January 15, 2018 Report to the Vermont Legislature on Statewide Coyote Populations Background and History of Coyotes in Vermont Prior to European settlement, the coyote was limited to habitats west of the Mississippi River and was not believed to exist in Vermont historically. As European settlers moved west, cleared the land, and eliminated the native wolf, the more adaptable coyote moved east from the western prairies. As they spread eastward, they bred with wolves in southern Canada. As a result, the eastern coyote has a broader skull and is larger and heavier than its western counterpart. It has been speculated that these adaptations allowed coyotes to better hunt deer resulting in a more rapid colonization rate into the Northeast (Kays 2010). In addition, genetic analysis suggests that Vermont’s current coyote population was established from a very small number of females crossing the St. Lawrence River into the state (Kays 2009). Since first sighted in Vermont in the 1940’s, the coyote has attained population levels that are believed to be saturated. Biological research on coyotes reveals that they exist in family units that are highly territorial and thereby maintain self-regulated populations across the landscape. Except for regional and seasonal fluctuations due to food and habitat availability, Vermont’s coyote population is unlikely to increase The Department significantly beyond its current level.
