Terms of Use

Wildlife Damage Management is a complicated and potentially dangerous activity. Visitors also need to think carefully about whether they can legally and responsibly handle the wildlife problem on their own. ICWDM cannot guarantee that all the information is accurate, up to date or even being followed correctly. We strongly suggest that visitors become thoroughly familiar with the problem by reading as much as they can and consult with state officials before initiating any wildlife damage management program.

Visitors use ICWDM at their own risk.
