Summary "Information for the Guidance of Field Men and Cooperators of the Bureau of Biological Survey Engaged in the Control of Injurious Rodents and Predatory Animals," prepared under the direction of Paul G. Redington, is a governmental publication produced in the early 1930s. This concise guide focuses on the control measures employed by the Bureau of Biological Survey to manage populations of harmful wildlife that threaten agricultural productivity and livestock safety. The text serves as an instructional manual for field officers and cooperators involved in mitigating the effects of predatory animals and damaging rodents. The publication outlines the necessity for effective wildlife management, detailing strategies for controlling specific species such as coyotes and prairie dogs, which pose threats to crops and domestic animals. It emphasizes conservation principles, highlighting the importance of balancing species control with the protection of beneficial wildlife. The guidelines provide practical advice on using poisons safely, conducting humane trapping, and working in cooperation with state laws and local officials. Ultimately, the book aims to equip field personnel with the knowledge required to execute wildlife control operations responsibly and effectively, ensuring minimal ecological disruption while addressing agricultural challenges.
