White-tailed deer are North America’s most abundant large herbivore and they, like many other wild species, are often a part of our neighborhoods and communities. Not only have white-tailed deer adapted to human-dominated landscapes, but because of how we’ve built and landscaped our cities and towns we’ve provided them with the kind of suitable habitat they prefer.

Most pet owners and animal care professionals think that traps ( foot-traps/snares/body-grip/cage traps) are a danger for only a few winter months of the year for fur trapping. The reality is that in every state these devices can be legally set at any time in the name of predator control or “nuisance” wildlife control.

Our cities and communities provide near-perfect habitat for these wildlife generalists and while perspectives about raccoons will range from charming inhabitant to source of conflict, raccoons will remain a quintessential part of urban living.

Getting calls about coyote sightings and conflicts in your community? If not, you probably will be soon! Now firmly entrenched in every state (except Hawaii), coyotes are well adapted to urban and suburban areas and are all around us! While their presence is often alarming to the public, conflicts with coyotes can be easily avoided and solved.
