Well... To me it seems Darcy has actually "experienced" it FIRST HAND and documented it with pics... At this point Darcy has my vote.

Whats the difference between the situation regarding feral horses and feral hogs? Or even Prussian carp or crawfish in Alberta?
Is it simply that there are more horse lovers than pig lovers? |

Hogs are hunted hard in the states and populations still grow at alarming rates. Take 50 or 100 head of horses out a year and numbers will hold steady. |
Take a breath guys!
Does anyone know what the petition is about? What legislation is being proposed? Does the petition seek a complete ban on feral horse capture? Does the petition seek to have these animals declared "wildlife"? Who will be responsible for implementing the proposed legislation? These are serious questions much more important than the focus of the discussion happening here. The potential ramifications of the proposed legislation is significant beyond personal feeling about feral wild free-range native livestock/wildlife horses. Anyone sign the petition without knowing what it is really requesting? |

IMO There's much bigger problems for the game in the west country right now than wild horses. Predators, oil and gas, cattle to name a few. |
Here we go again re: feral horses
Maybe it is a problem, maybe not!!!
The way I see it, with all the unabated clearcut logging and oil and gas extraction in the east slopes over the past 20 years, having wild horses doesn't seem to be all that big a deal.. imho |

Not about anything else. I then explained and showed my reasoning and will take a breath later thanks!! |
So my question is can you shoot them legally ?

An interesting topic for the next AGMAG meeting.

Is there a rational reason here that I am missing, or is it one simply driven by emotion? |
Sheep hunter...really nice pictures you have there in the summer and the spring.
I want you tell me what the effective growing season is for grass in the Ya Ya Tinda? When you can answer that question we can get back to the real serious discussion. Otherwise you're just surmising based on feelings. Ask Eldon for details if you don't know them yourself... he flew the same area with me. |

So don't try and blow smoke up my ass when you have no physical proof other than you seen it. And like I said if your not smart enough in this day and age to physically document all the distruction you saw via still pictures or Video then I'm not very apt to believe a thing you nor any one has to say. Proof is in the proof so let's see them if you want meet me tomorrow and we can drive to the ranch and I'll video you showing all this distraction. It sure on foot it will look way worse from on the ground than it would from the air. |

I was simply trying to understand why this appears to be such a hot topic. |
