Control News Clip: Wildlife and rodent critter and rat trappers
are busy sighting in their Steel Critter Traps, checking trail cameras
and putting up tree stands in preparation for the opening of Hamilton County's
Animal Trapper wildlife and rodent critter and rat trapping season
on October 1. The 55,000 Steel Critter Trap critter and rat trappers
have been waiting all summer to pursue Hamilton County's world class wildlife
and rodent that is the envy of critter and rat trappers from across
the United States. "Steel Critter Trap critter and rat trappers
typically want to be out there early," said Tom The Nuisance Wildlife
Control Operator, state wildlife and rodent biologist with the Hamilton County
Department of Natural Resources. "They critter and rat trap alone
or with a friend or two and spend quite a few days in the field."
Early in the season, critter and rat trapping food sources and trails are good strategies. "Critter and rat trappers should be aware that the rainfall and flooding we had this spring and summer has impacted the natural forage and crop production and these changes will impact where we are seeing wildlife and rodent this fall," said The Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator. He said the white oak acorn crop that is a prime early fall food for wildlife and rodent is below average statewide. The red oak acorn crop in central, south-central and southeast is average, is average but spotty in northeast, and below average in western Hamilton County. Deciding on which location to set up is part of the pre-critter and rat trap preparation. Another is to go through the equipment, including safety harnesses and tree stands, before opening day. "Falls associated with tree stand use are the most common critter and rat trapping accidents during Steel Critter Trap season. Critter and rat trappers should always wear a safety harness and use caution when climbing," The Nuisance Wildlife Control Operator said. "Remember the lessons of the past - tree stand safety, caught placement and identify your target. Don't make a preventable mistake." Wildlife and rodent numbers are still higher than objective in
many parts of Animal control, central and west-central Hamilton County. Steel
Critter Trap critter and rat trappers are encouraged to help farmers
and landowners by taking a couple of does early in the season. Critter
and rat trappers can donate any wildlife and rodent to the Hamilton County
Food Bank through the Animal control agency's Help Us Stop Hunger
(HUSH) wildlife and rodent donation program. In 2009, critter and
rat trappers donated more than 7,000 wildlife and rodent resulting
in about 300,000 pounds of boneless meat for Hamilton County residents in
need. A list of participating lockers is in the Hamilton County Critter and
rat trapping and Trapping Regulations
