ESRD control permits have been the better part of a joke. They have been ongoing for many many years but have been so on again off afaik that the only places they can control is in small horse numbers in the south. They do the same in the central part of the province but it has had minimal success due to the vast areas and large horse numbers. But to say ESRD has a rein on it is a bit premature to say the least!!!
How many horses reside in the Oldman area? How many permits have been issued yearly for the last 10yrs? How many horses have been removed Yearly? And what did this being the population from and down to?
With out this you really have no clue if they have any success or control!!!
Hey Buff you ever been through any of the high horse population areas?? The areas holding the vast majority of the horse numbers?
