Feral horses are an invasive, non-indigenous species that destroys the carrying capacity of the forest, just like they do in the desert.

Since the 1971 wild horse and burro act, they have been allowed to procreate without any hindrance. The mountain lion and the bear are the only predators that can take them down.

Unlike deer and elk, they cannot be shot.

Methinks you’re on the wrong site. The most destructive of the feral’s are the hogs.

100% right. More people need to know there. There are a lot of areas over populated with wild horses. (Including the area right around my neighborhood)

yes—IIRC, the best cure for too many “wild”horses is a.30 caliber ,150-180 grain bullet at about 2400 fps—
