Nuisance Species

While many people enjoy seeing and living near wildlife, there are times when wild animals get "too close" and create a nuisance, cause property damage or inflict injury on livestock, pets or people. Determining what is "too close" is often a personal judgment that hinges on each person's values and tolerance.
