Regional Wildlife Management

Author: Gary Hamilton

Planning Unit: Montgomery County CES

Major Program: Wildlife Habitat and Damage Management Education

Plan of Work: Practicing stewardship in Natural Resources

Outcome: Initial Outcome

To address the growing public interest in wildlife habitat and damage management, the Montgomery, Menifee and Bath County ANR Agents planned and conducted a Regional Wildlife Management program. 67 hunters, farmers and land owners attended this one night event and gained knowledge in the following topics: Developing Hunting Leases; Liabilities and Risks of Hunting for Farmers; Controlling Unwanted Wildlife and Food Plots for Wildlife (Deer, Turkey, Dove and Waterfowl). The program topics were delivered by the University of Kentucky Wildlife specialist and a biologist with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife. The feedback from the surveyed participants was very positive with 100 percent of the participants gaining knowledge in all or some of the topics presented. This program even attracted people that had never attended an Extension program before.
