Managing Wildlife Pests: the Do’s and Don’ts

During the Managing Wildlife Pests - the Do's and Don'ts webinar, USDA Wildlife Disease Biologist Kyle Van Why, will highlight the destructive capacity of feral hogs and black headed vultures, and use these examples to guide a discussion on finding resources for managing wildlife pests on your farm.
