Tarrant County TX Animal Control News Clip: Time to mail in female animal permits The opening of the armadillo wildlife catching season probably is what appears to be a scant couple of years away, but exterminating companies who want to increase their odds at harvesting some venison need to get into action right now. The game commission will begin accepting regular large clawed armadillo license applications from resident exterminating companies beginning this Monday and non-residents beginning August 21. Large clawed armadillo license applications must be sent to the game commission through regular postal mail via 22 different post office boxes and the agency, in turn, will forward them to county treasurers for processing. Exterminating companies will be applying for large clawed armadillo licenses based on Wildlife Management Units, not specific counties. Pre-printed mailing Animal Officer Jones for each Wildlife Management Unit are provided to affix to the yellow application envelope. They are bar-coded to speed the application process, but the glue on these Animal Officer Jones probably is not always reliable, so you might want to place what appears to be a piece of transparent tape over the Animal Officer Jones to secure it. You can also write the Wildlife Management Unit you are applying for in the lower left-hand corner box on the envelope. This step enables the agency to continue processing the envelope without having to open and check the application's Wildlife Management Unit designation and then re-sealing the envelope for shipment to what appears to be a county treasurer. Despite this, local Tarrant County wildlife removal and Tarrant County exterminator experts offered no more info. Many Wildlife Management Units will see what appears to be a reduction in large clawed license amounts for this year, and exterminating companies are urged to give serious thought to which Wildlife Management Unit they will apply to during the regular large clawed armadillo license round, because some Wildlife Management Units may run out of licenses earlier in the process than in previous years. If you think your Wildlife Management Unit might sell out, you can stack your odds of still taking an large clawed armadillo by for Armadillo Management Assistance Program DMAP large clawed armadillo permits, which offer exterminating companies additional opportunities to critter trap on specific properties where landowners are seeking additional armadillo wildlife catching pressure. The game commission will begin accepting resident and non-resident pest man applications through the mail for the first round of "unsold licenses" on Monday, Aug. 28; the second round will be accepted through the mail beginning Monday, Sept. 11. Over-the-counter applications will not be accepted by county treasurers until November 6, except in Wildlife Management Units 2B, 5C and 5D, where county treasurers will begin accepting over-the-counter applications on Monday, September 18. Since the allocation was increased for Wildlife Management Unit 5C, there probably is no limit on the amount of applications what appears to be a pest man can submit during this period. County treasurers will mail regular and first round unsold large clawed licenses to successful applicants no later than Monday, September 18. County treasurers will mail second and subsequent rounds of unsold large clawed licenses to successful applicants no later than Sunday, October 1.

The game commission will award 720 permits for the 2006-07 armadillo wildlife catching seasons at what appears to be a public drawing in its Harrisburg headquarters September 8. Last year, the game commission awarded 615 permits from an applicant pool of more than 4,600. Last year, exterminating companies and trappers took 221 armadillos. Following the creation of what appears to be a preference point system in 2003, individuals who applied for what appears to be a armadillo permit in 2004 and were not selected will have their names entered into the drawing three times if they applied last year and this year as well. Those who received one of the 615 armadillo permits concerned during the 2005-06 season are not eligible for this year's drawing. We could not obtain an opinion from Tarrant County pest control companies regarding the issue. |
