CUSTOM WILDLIFE CAPTURE & CONSULTING, LLC

CUSTOM WILDLIFE CAPTURE & CONSULTING, LLC specializes in the humane capture, monitoring, and depredation investigation of large carnivores, with a primary focus on gray wolf management in rural and agricultural landscapes. The contractor delivers field-ready expertise in live trapping, telemetry deployment, behavioral analysis, and depredation site forensics, supporting livestock protection programs through science-based wildlife conflict resolution. Their technical proficiency includes the application of non-lethal deterrent protocols, GPS collaring techniques, and training law enforcement and agricultural personnel in wolf identification, evidence collection, and incident response protocols. A key differentiator is their on-the-ground operational presence in northern Minnesota, enabling rapid deployment during seasonal depredation events and fostering direct collaboration with field biologists and USDA personnel. The contractor maintains a consistent working relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, specifically through its Wildlife Services program, delivering mission-critical support for predator management and livestock protection initiatives. Their engagements center on field operations, training delivery, and investigative support to mitigate human-wildlife conflict, reinforcing a pattern of trusted, repeat partnership rooted in technical reliability and regional familiarity. Their primary industry focus is NAICS 114210—Hunting and Trapping—applied not for recreational purposes but as a regulated wildlife management tool. This vertical specialization positions them as a niche provider of ecological intervention services, bridging wildlife biology, agricultural protection, and federal land management mandates. They operate at the intersection of conservation and rural economic stability, serving a high-stakes market where precision and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable. As a small, locally based entity headquartered in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, the company leverages its geographic proximity to key wildlife corridors and USDA field offices to deliver responsive, context-aware services. While holding no formal government certifications, their operational credibility is built on demonstrated field expertise and sustained performance in complex, high-sensitivity wildlife operations.
