Abstract

We examined 2,241 telephone calls that were received by 3 University of Nebraska- Cooperative Extension personnel (the 3 junior authors) concerning wildlife damage during 1988-1992. Our objectives were to (1) determine the speciedgroups responsible for most damage-related telephone calls, (2) determine the timing of wildlife damage events by speciedgroup, and (3) differentiate damage-related telephone calls by urban versus rural situations.
