Brief Project Summary:

Oklahoma Wildlife Services has utilized a variety of methods to reduce feral swine damage to crops such as thermal imaging, wireless trail cameras, and corral traps. Wildlife Services has been using tripwire for corral trap gates, and in some instances, other animals have triggered the trap door, making it difficult to catch the swine. With this project Wildlife Services will add trapping gate units, wireless trail cameras, material for new corral traps, and two grain carts. This will reduce the likelihood of non-target species triggering corral trap doors, and increase the feral swine capture, which will help Oklahoma soybean producers alleviate damages to their fields.

Benefactors:
farmers, environmental leaders, ag retailers
