Abstract:
Feral swine (Sus scrofa) are invasive in North America and are actively managed to reduce human-wildlife conflict and damage to agriculture, natural resources, and personal property. This data package contains the data collected during feral swine removal management activities at the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge in Missouri. Removal data for feral swine include the date, location, method of removal (i.e., aerial gunning, trapping, and ground shooting), number of animals removed, effort employed, and a site designation number. The effort is dependent on the method of removal: number of hours in the helicopter for aerial gunning, number of trap nights for trapping, and number of ground shooting events for ground shooting. The location information has been modified to remove specific locations to avoid violating privacy issues while retaining the relative spatial relationships of the points. The refuge was split into three sites for analysis purposes based on the geography of the refuge.
