• Wildlife Management a Sacred Trust

One common response to the use of the term 'wildlife management' is, "Don't they manage pretty well on their own? Things become a lot more complex when our human activities and land use practices have allowed some species to become "super abundant." We've all had close calls with white-tailed deer that have darted in front of our vehicles. Raccoons and skunks in suburban garbage cans, coyotes in the urban fringe, and beavers cutting trees in riverbank yards are other examples. We all want wildlife around but there comes a point when the economic or public safety costs of these interactions necessitate some kind of management response. Sound wildlife management goes hand-in-hand with good land stewardship. By applying good science along with the "Land Ethic" so eloquently written about ...

• Hunting grounds: making co-operative wildlife management work.

Co-operative wildlife management blends the input of native peoples and their traditional ways of life with the protectionist attitudes of environmentalists and the National Park Services. The result is wildlife management dependent upon a consensus of the affected regions's inhabitants.

• Hunting As Wildlife Management Tool

We live on a large plot of land south of Riding Mountain National Park and over the years, I've enjoyed watching their populations grow. But expanding cities and development have put humans and wildlife on a collision course. There are over 10,000 wildlife-automobile collisions in Manitoba, with about 450 in Winnipeg alone -- over one per day! Vehicle-wildlife collisions cost about $27 million per year, not to mention any resulting injuries and fatalities. The Canada goose issue in Winnipeg is vexing, since every fall about 150,000 migrating Canada geese stage in and around Winnipeg. City planners have made Winnipeg into goose heaven by the construction of over 100 retention ponds. Add in all the lovely lawns and golf courses providing the grassy food so loved by geese and you have al...

• Proposed Bash Program

(However, resident birds are not normally the problem from a BASH standpoint, migratory birds are.) Check with your base Air Force Wildlife Management personnel who can tell you when the optimum time for cannon activation is based on your base's problem migratory birds, time of year, changes to migratory patterns, proximities of large bodies of water, etc.

• Farmers Say Hungry Predators Plentiful

Manitoba Conservation likely won't increase the payouts for harvested coyotes and wolves, says Barry Verbiwski with the provincial Problem Wildlife Management unit.This in spite of a lobby effort from the cattle industry. MCPA production management committee chairman Trevor Atchison says a few producer groups in the Interlake and east of Dauphin have taken matters into their own hands with individual municipalities or cattlemen pooling funds to pay trappers a premium.

• Reverse Wildlife Budget Cutbacks

The North American model of wildlife conservation places wildlife in public ownership. But public ownership of wildlife requires public management and conservation of wildlife by competent and well-funded wildlife agencies. And this is where the Government of Manitoba, and many others across Canada, are failing to meet their obligations. Manitoba's hunters have done their bit for conservation. For example the Habitat Trust program of the Manitoba Wildlife Federation (MWF) holds title to 10,000 acres of land. The MWF spends many thousands of volunteer dollars and countless hours to maintain these properties. And for the benefit of all Manitobans, not just hunters. The MWF will be mounting a public campaign to increase the budgets for wildlife management in Manitoba," said MWF president ...
