If you are having difficulty with encroaching wildlife your best resource is Nebraska Wildlife Rehab Inc. NWRI is permitted by the state to handle, rehabilitate and re-release wildlife and is a knowledgeable resource for wildlife queries. Additionally the Nebraska Humane Society has a contractual agreement with Nebraska Wildlife Rehab Inc.  All rehabilitatable wildlife brought in to NHS is transferred to NWRI for care, treatment, and re-release into the wild.  (link to website)
