What if you caught one of those horses that has the wings and the horn growing out of its head. You could fly it to the top of the mountain,shoot your sheep and have a pack horse all in one,that would be cool. Keep your eye out for one, you could make a mint on that in the for sale section on here,just sayin

Fair 'nuf.

No, thanks. I have helped myself to quite a bit of the obscene amount of hershey bars, snickers, smarties and so on that my youngest brought home the other night. I am fighting childhood obesity.

There are too many out there now, I have been hunting that area for almost 20yrs and they have been slowly growing and its nothing now to go out and see 50-60 horses in a day, in a small area. Getting rid of some would be a good idea.

Why does a three year old thread on this need to be resurrected? Are the two dozen recent ones not good enough?

Appears that there's some blood thirsty red necks out their who thrive on the kill. No doubt only hunt for trophies. They have absolutely no clue what's going on only that they can kill. Too bad these guys weren't hugged enough as children!!! If a animal is directly effecting farmers crops deal with them accordingly, leave the others alone!!! The generations of some of these wild horses date back far longer than you and your roots!!!

I feel like Al Pacino in the last Godfather, I want to quit but they keep dragging me in. No doubt about it, we need a management plan.
