In NC, we can only keep and transport live fox and coyotes and are limited as to how long we can hold them before they are sold to a fox pen.



Squirrels can only be trapped on a nuisance permit but they do allow us to relocate them.

Back in the day they’d field dress and age your deer when you brought them in, lol!

Here's a story from Nebraska that just rolls my eyes. Approx. 3 years ago a family in Omaha adopted a stray cat and after a few days it died. they took it to the vet for local post op and sent the head to the State health lab. Head came back positive for rabies WITH A CERTAIN RABIES VIRUS KNOWN TO BE ISOLATED TO RACCOONS IN THE SE PART of the U.S. Entire family had to undergo the rabies vaccine procedure.. City of Omaha Contacted Wildlife Service in Lincoln (U.S.D.A.). Contract was written and Fed trappers were assigned to live catch as many raccoons as possible east of 48th street (I believe) within the city limits of Omaha. They tested the live caught coons, if negative, the coons were VACCINATED AND RELEASED IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THEY WERE CAPTURED IN. Bleeding hearts on the city council I guess, as it was a cost-sharing contract and the entire terms were never printed. Don't know how many they caught, euthanized or released but it is not good management of resources or true use of the available science. This was a story carried in the Omaha World Herald and there was no follow-up as to the success of reducing viral contact with humans or pets. "Just a case of wildlife exhibiting a negative or potential negative VALUE to society when fur (positive) values are reduced"................................................ the mike
