Two examples are Guy Connolly, a 30-year predator ecologist with USDA's Wildlife Services in Ft. Collins, Colo., and Dr. George Hurst, a retired professor of wildlife management from Mississippi State University. Connolly has spent a lifetime focusing on coyotes' effects on wildlife as well as livestock. Hurst spent the last 15 years of his career studying the impacts of predators on turkey populations with a particular emphasis on raccoon predation. Demonstrations will also be given on various predator control alternatives.
Registration includes three meals, a copy of the symposium proceedings, and refreshments.
