Importance of Predator Control
|
Wildlife Issues:
The number of ravens, crows, eagles, skunks, raccoons, coyotes, and foxes in Sheridan County are at healthy levels. We would like to see higher doe fawn ratio in all our areas. We have stepped up aerial hunting in the remaining areas. Many of the livestock producers in the county also receive additional income from the wildlife activity such as hunting and viewing. |
Wildlife Goals:
The Sheridan County PMD would like to facilitate an increase in numbers of wild game through active management of the before mentioned species that have the most impact on our numbers.

Livestock Issues:
In Sheridan County, the livestock producers have experienced a greater hit from predation because of the lack of small game (rabbits) as well as the wildlife issue; especially the sheep producers. With the lack of rabbits we believe cattle producers are also going to see a bigger impact this spring. |
