Living with Wildlife
Dealing with Nuisance Wildlife
If wildlife is causing damage to crops, real or personal property, or livestock - landowners (or any employee or agent of the landowner) may hunt, trap, or take certain wildlife on lands owned or leased by the person without securing a license, though a permit may be required.
Wildlife Collisions
Visibility is poor when many of our big game animals are most active, during dawn and dusk. Wildlife can be especially on the move during migration and mating seasons and may be attracted to salt on the roadside. Motorists can reduce the likelihood of an accident by taking precautions.
