I heard from another Damage Control agent that some of his customers have received surveys recently from the NC Wildlife Commission. Some of the questions were.
How satisfied were you with the work?
How did you hear about this company?
Did you shop around before choosing this company?
Were the traps checked everyday?
Would you refer this company to a friend?
And various other questions.

I'm not too sure how to feel about this.
This can surely weed some guys doing crappy work. But also, what else are they going to solicit my customers with?
I'm guessing now EVERYBODY that I fill out a damage permit for from now on will be solicited by the NCWRC.

I feel that they should be more concerned with issues like carrying liability insurance, guys trapping without a ADC license, doing bat exclusion during black out and releasing animals that by law have to be euthanized.

Yeah, I'm with you, Dude.

Nobody gets a questionnaire to fill out after getting a new water heater installed or getting a new AC unit. When's the last time the state wanted to know how happy you were with your new roof? Does the state care if you recommend your electrician to a friend?

But yet I've got competition here that's doing bat jobs in June and another one actively poisoning them! Then there is the city dog catcher who's catching coon from folks back yards and hauling them out of town and releasing them. I can't charge for coyote jobs because Numb Nuts down the road is doing it for free out of season and with no sign of damage. Home owners here will not call me for a permit because surely there are no laws against shooting critters out of season.

I'm getting pretty dang tired of having to follow all the rules but yet getting NO support, what-so-ever!

Oh! And then what really burns me up is when you report a violation you get no response. We just don't have enough game wardens and the ones we have just don't know the same rules we are taught.

So what do you do?

Maybe you should get in touch with the NC Wildlife Commission and ask about it. Could be they're trying to crack down on the kind of behavior Muddawg is complaining about.

On an ADC level I haven't had to deal with the Fish and Game. But on the fur trapper level they are more then happy to enforce the laws with you. But not against anyone else. A friend had a trap stolen a couple years ago because it was set "Illegally". Which basically means they found a set trap in the woods so it had to be set illegally. It was a #1 LS. They turned it into the Fish and Game.
Not only did the guy not even get told it was illegal to disturb the trap. They never bothered to call the owner to tell them they had it. It was tagged. He finely found out in a roundabout way and went down to pick it up.

If a guy is doing work without a licence or doing something he's not supposed to be doing... he would not write a permit...therefore the Wildlife Commission wouldn't have any one to send a survey to.
If someone had a complaint.. they would just call the wildlife commission. They don't need a survey sent to them to complain. Also..why is NCWRC concerned with HOW our customers heard about us? Why are they concerned whether or not the customer shopped around? What are they going to do with the info gathered?
Next, they will be trying to set our prices.

Good point, but if you want to know....

"why is NCWRC concerned with HOW our customers heard about us?"

"Why are they concerned whether or not the customer shopped around?"

"What are they going to do with the info gathered?"

...asking them would be a good place to start.
