Predator Control. The District will conduct control efforts for both northern pikeminnow and piscivorous bird populations for the protection of juvenile Plan Species. Northern pikeminnow will be primarily controlled by utilizing anglers at the dam. Northern pikeminnow tend to congregate in the Tailrace and anglers will exploit this population during the spring and summer months. The pikeminnow removal program may also be expanded to include not only the dam itself, but also the whole reservoir. This may be accomplished by implementing a bounty reward program and using sport anglers to assist in our control efforts. Long lines and trapping may also be utilized to supplement the dam angling and further exploit the pikeminnow population. Piscivorous bird populations, which include, Caspian terns, double-crested cormorants, and various gull species will be hazed. Hazing techniques may include elaborate wire arrays in the tailrace to deter foraging, propane cannons, various pyrotechnics, and lethal control when necessary. This program will continue to run during the juvenile outmigration.
Predator Control. EK - 13 acres treated for fire ants. CH - 2 acres treated for fire ants. SV – Overabundant mesopredator and nonnative predator control provided by public hunting, approved animal control plan, and partnership with USDA Wildlife Services.
Predator Control. The FWC discussed methods for controlling coyote predation of gopher tortoises at the September 2015 meeting of the Gopher Tortoise Technical Assistance Group (GTTAG). The group discussion concluded that while coyote predation does occur, none of the stakeholders/landowners has seen it occur at abnormally high levels that would call for a proactive control program/effort beyond the control methods already available. Staff will continue to stay apprised on studies and search for more information on this topic. Georgia DNR
Predator Control. Fire ants were controlled with Amdro at the Yuchi WMA juvenile head-start release site South Carolina
Predator Control. Though the effects of predators, particularly meso-predators, on the Covered Species are a minor concern on the Ranch, some management and control of the species that adversely affect the Covered Species are performed. The predator control activities described in this Agreement constitute covered activities.
