The purpose of this paper is to report on a telephone survey to 15 professional wildlife damage 
control workers in 9 of the 10 Great Plains states. North Dakota was the only state that was not 
contacted. In this survey we asked the following five questions: 
 
1. Do you have any video tapes on wildlife damage control? 2. How many counties are 
there in your state? 3. How many County Extension Offices have videocassette recorders 
(VCRs)? 4. What is your opinion of video tapes? 5. Do you see a future for VCRs in 
wildlife damage control extension education? 
 
Another purpose of this presentation is to show you a review of short excerpts of some wildlife 
damage control extension education video tapes. Only 3 of 9 states currently have wildlife damage 
control video tapes. 
 
The 9 states represented in this survey contained about 763 counties. Nearly all of the county 
extension offices have or soon will have the capability to show video tapes. It is estimated that in 
homes with television sets in the United States, nearly one third have VCRs. 
67
There are only about 7 or 8 video tapes on wildlife damage control. There are, however, some very 
good hunting video tapes on the commercial market. The enthusiasm for video tapes was shown in our 
question #4 about the opinion of those interviewed concerning the use of VCRs in extension wildlife 
damage control education. Nine of the 15 people interviewed made remarks concerning the material 
being easier to understand in comparison to slides or publications, material being more like real life, 
and the VCR format being more personal and less expensive than the 16mm film to produce. They also 
felt that more information could be presented in a shorter time span than is possible with slides. 
 
Two of the 15 people interviewed indicated that too much effort was necessary to use the VCR and 
reported difficulty in taking pictures. Four of the 15 indicated that they had never used VCRs for the 
purpose mentioned in the survey. 
 
However, all 15 people interviewed agreed that VCRs have a good future in extension wildlife 
damage control education. 
 
Since I am not a video tape expert, I will not go into a discussion of all the different formats 
available. I will say that this subject is similar to computers in that there are several formats and most 
are not interchangeable. Cameras and recorders cost between $3,500 and $45,000. Picture quality 
increases with price but I have found that we can produce sufficient quality tapes with lower priced 
equipment. 
 
The Great Plains Wildlife Resource Committee will consider preparing and updating a catalog of 
stock footage available.

We would like to thank the Extension Service in Arkansas, Nebraska, -New Mexico (especially 
Jim Knight), Kansas and the New Brunswick Wildlife Conservation agency for the use of these 
films.
