biglakejake Report post Posted October 19, 2019 heber huh? i am not lecturing anyone but the entire country has adopted these dang feral caballos. the university system and equine groups are fully informed and have created watch groups. from san diego to boston people are hearing about this. there is no bigger hot button issue for ncso, azgfd, and usfs. not drugs, crime, traffic, health-this is a smokin' hot topic throughout the southwest. the wolves did not get this level of interest. laugh about watch groups if you want-little old ladies out 10am till 2pm with dime store binoculars right? wrong. look into the history of nau enviro activism and you may be in for a rude awakening. feds have camera traps that catch your tire treads and license plate at the same time. i have no doubt there is money for undercover ops. the 2008(?) busts were the result of young sportsmen getting wildlife citations reduced by giving up horse shooter buddies. no one is going to attempt a solution until the carcasses stop showing up. just shoot me, lee Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted October 21, 2019 Well we fought off the horses and I put up panels around my trailer to keep my animals in. That helped plus some other camps moved in and we decided to stay put. As luck would have it the kids doubled down last night on two cows. Both their first and my daughters first elk tag. Did I mention she is a vegetarian!!!! she must really love me to provide like that. So we broke down both and hung the meat and had a nasty hike back to the truck where we got turned around and made 1.1 miles into 3.1 headed out with the packers now, picks soon. Thanks for letting me whine a little, still chasing off horses some but nothing like earlier 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jim Report post Posted October 21, 2019 Congratulations on the daughters tagging out. It's to bad about the horse issues. We see it around Kingman, it is bad with the feral burros that destroy the landscape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
