Slide2Wildlife Management Practices• Wildlife management on most farms is usually a by-product of the family operation.
Slide3Suitable habitat and food are essential toincrease the number of wildlife on a farm • To improve habitat: – brush piles might be left when harvesting wood lots – leave crop residue standing – Plant fence rows with shrubs and grasses
Slide4Proper wildlife management includesmanaged hunting and fishing • Remove excess wildlife that would otherwise be lost due to natural causes • Prevents overpopulation, which results in malnutrition, disease, and a reduction in reproduction, which will result in decreased wildlife population
Slide5Carrying capacity• The number of wildlife each habitat can support throughout the year. • More wildlife than the habitat can support will result in problems for wildlife and habitat.
Slide6Managed Hunting• Removing some game that would otherwise be lost due to natural causes.
Slide7Results of Over Population• Malnutrition, disease, and a reduction in the reproduction cycle • Habitat quality goes down – Water quality of a stream carrying 20 fish will decrease if 50 fish are in the stream
Slide8Space• The area that an animal uses to meet its basic requirements for life
Slide9Habitat• The area where a plant or animal naturally lives and grows
Slide10Cover• Vegetation and other materials providing protection for wildlife
Slide11Territory• The area an animal will defend
