Caveats
- The year basis is the federal fiscal year, October through September, not this site's usual state-fiscal-year format (July-June).
- European starlings, taken under a separate agricultural bird program, are 97.4 percent of all animals killed in Idaho, FY2014-FY2024.
- The method recorded is the capture or targeting method, not necessarily the cause of death, per APHIS.
- The take count sums intentional and unintentional kills across every method; it excludes burrows removed and animals freed or dispersed.
- This dataset covers only this federal program's actions in Idaho, not private trapping, county pest control, or Idaho Fish and Game's wolf take.
