The service is free, and you can get it by writing the Conservation Department or by contacting any of its employees, such as your county conservation agent. Together, you and the wildlife damage control agent evaluate damage and determine the best ways to prevent future damage. The agent will show you how and where to trap the problem animal. If trapping isn't the best solution to your problem, the agent will demonstrate other techniques. The Department conducts training sessions designed to help you handle problems on your own.
Training ordinarily requires a half to one day.
Following the training session, a bulletin describing the techniques demonstrated is made available to you. Experience shows this method of hands-on experience, reinforced with instructive manuals, is the best way to learn. Most landowners find that the bulletins are a valuable reference. There is no charge for the services of the wildlife damage agent. You, however, are charged for equipment used.
