Out of Control Wildlife/Tri-State Wildlife Management
Out of Control Wildlife/Tri-State Wildlife Management is committed to supporting our community and developing programs that support getting children and their parents involved with the great outdoors and our abundant wildlife. From school programs with snakes and turtles to water conservation, stream testing and river tire clean-ups, we encourage all members of our community to be involved. Out of Control Wildlife/Tri-State Wildlife Management can assist you in getting your backyard certified as a wildlife habitat and/or spend a lazy day canoeing or kayaking down the beautify Licking River where endangered freshwater mussels are abundant in these protected waters.
We are strong supporters of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources and The National Wildlife Federation. We encourage and empower our community to protect wildlife and our environment.
Education
Snakes and Turtles

Get to know their unique personalities up close and in person.
Turtle Races
Turtle Races are a blast. These guys and gals aren?t afraid of a little cheering as they compete in different categories!
Turtle Feeding
There are always bullies in the bunch when it comes to feeding time! Turtle feeding might be a little messy…………. but it is worth the show!
Snake Feeding
Snake feeding demands a little more quiet and self-control from the participants, but will hold the attention of most 2-3 year olds on up to parents and grandparents. Awesome for school age kids.
Feet, Feather & Furs
Get to know some of the fur bearers and other critters native to Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati.
Feet, Feathers & Furs is a hands-on, action packed introduction to learning a little something about wildlife management and why it is so important to our environment.
This program is a fun and informative approach to ask ourselves why we hunt and trap, and why it is such a good idea.
Turkey Tails
Who’s Tom and what’s a Jake? Learn the characteristics of Tom, Jake, and Mother hen. Sit back and enjoy the show as volunteers from the group help us learn about the bird that Ben Franklin wanted as our National Bird.
Archery
Archery for the very beginner. FUN for all AGES.
It does not matter if you are a group of five year olds with your parent’s guidance, lower or upper primary youth, teens, or adults who just want to give archery a try. Satisfy your curiosity or decide if you want to pursue archery as a sport.
Anyone can learn archery in a safe, comfortable atmosphere by a certified instructor.
