GreyGhost85 Report post Posted January 15, 2020 Man, this topic went south fast! Love it! I am a horse owner and grew up in a ranching family and I HATE the feral horse plague. Cattle are regulated. When a cow escapes, the rancher loses money. Does it still happen? Yes. There are a lot of people that make money rounding up rogue cattle and selling them because the have monetary value. Horses are not native, plain and simple. AZBH88, do you shed a tear when you see people mowing down herds of FERAL hogs? If horses looked like hogs, nobody would blink an eye if they were shot 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Getting to be a big problem requiring attention soon. Wish the wolf reintroduction resources would start feeding the wolves horse meat instead of elk meat!! Would address two issues with one solution. ALPINE- I was in unit 27 quite a bit this year . I did not see a feral horse. those poor wolves can't kill anything . confessing, this knowledge could tempt me. I saw a lot in unit 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
