I was in unit 1 from Wednesday into yesterday and only saw 1 horse.  In years past I saw dozens of horses in the same area. 

They removed a bunch a couple years ago

I saw a big stud harassing the bighorn sheep around wildcat point a couple years ago - get them all out of the forest.

This is what really chaps my butt! These people bought private land right next to this area and are using this private land as a stable for their so called "wild horses". SR 87 just west of Bush Hwy exit. Total BS.... they have domesticated these horses and are claiming ownership of them. Exclusive access to their stable......using our National Forest as their grazing area. Not sure what kind of permits they have with the NF to be able to access here and place hay on Public National Forest.

I tell my wife this every time we drive past that nonsense and it is the frustrating thing about the "wild horses" that are getting alfalfa hay every day which in the wildlife spectrum is against the law to feed wild animals!!! And the rape job those horses have done in that area is horrendous...........

Equine moonscape.  Most feral horses seem to migrate from sovereign tribal land onto USFS or BLM land where it is extremely difficult to manage their numbers.  Tribes don't have this problem.  Our politicians seem to fold under "aw, ain't they cute" mentality further compounding the problem.  Public land managers are hamstrung
