Why control feral and pest
animals using ground shooting?
Feral and pest animal control is a
complex issue. A variety of methods are employed with varying degrees of
success and a coordinated approach combining a number of methods is
often required. However, ground shooting is a very precise way to remove
targeted species in a humane way.
We provide dedicated, trained and
accredited teams to deliver free (to land managers) ground-shooting
programs, and are particularly suited to situations where:
·
funds are limited or unavailable to
otherwise support control
· target
animal densities are low and shooting is uneconomical for land
managers
· vegetation
cover is too dense for effective aerial control
· target
species are hard to locate
· target
species are not susceptible to baiting
· the
risk of killing off-target species using other methods is
significant
· data
needs to be collected on animals controlled
· research
samples (e.g. stomach, genetic) are required
· high-frequency,
repeat control activities are required or desirable
· ground
shooting can complement other control methods
