  9. 9 Major Impacts of Tank Training • During moist conditions - soil compaction • During dray conditions – wider track disturbance because of sliding

  10. 10 Testing fladry as a nonlethal managementtool for wolves and coyotes in Michigan Fladry farm averages Wolves Inside 0.29 Wolves Outside 1.43 Coyotes Inside 0.43 Coyotes Outside 0.71 Control farm wolf averages Wolves Inside 0.71 Wolves Outside 0.21 Coyotes Inside 0 Coyotes Outside 0.29 Depredation results 0 wolves and 8 coyote

  11. 11 Testing fladry as a nonlethal managementtool for wolves and coyotes in Michigan Results have shown that fladry may be an effective temporary management tool for discouraging wolves from using livestock areas but labor and equipment costs may be substantial for large farms. Fladry was not effective in deterring coyotes

  13. Evaluation of damage by vertebrate pests in California vineyards and control of wild turkeys by bioacoustics By: James Brown 13 Note: this is a TITLE slide

  14. Problem/Conflict Problem/Conflict ?? • Crop damage • How to control the problem/conflict 14

  15. Conclusion • Wild turkeys caused damage in California vineyards by stripping berries from the clusters. Many growers believed that turkeys were the culprit for damage to their vineyards, but video recordings indicated otherwise. The video recordings showed that many other vertebrate pests were to blame. Turkey damage was observed in several vineyards but the problem was inconsistent with both areas and years. Broadcast calls did not work at all. The best deterrent that they found was netting around the perimeter of vines and the use of dogs. ATV patrols and hunting is also a good deterrent to keep turkeys out of vineyards. 15 16

  16. Methods • Chemical deterrent “Sniff ’n’ Stop” • 4 different formulas, each with a similar inert control “Sniff ’n’ Stop” Inert control • Foam - Deterrent free foam • Gel - Petroleum jelly • Tape - 3M Scotch Rubber Mastic tape • Epoxy - Loctite Marine Epoxy 17
