Free to Roam, But at What Cost? The Ecological Toll of Feral Horses | Big Hunt Guys, Ep. 149

Big Hunt Guys

On this week's episode of the Big Hunt Guys, Jenny Lesieutre and Joel Blakeslee join Lorenzo, Brady, and Trail to discuss feral horses and the ecological toll they are having on western landscapes. Jenny recently retired as the Wild Horse and Burro BLM Branch Chief in Reno, NV. Joel has a background in range management and has served as the policy director for the Nevada Trappers Association. The group discusses the history of the Wild Horse and Burro Act before digging into what the act actually mandates. They talk about horse and environmental activists and the lies and propaganda they promote to deter federal and state agencies from managing to proper objectives. The group also discusses population expansion and the detrimental impacts they are having on the natural landscapes throughout the west. The group rounds out the discussion with a rallying cry for sportsmen and women to become a more active voice in demanding that the federal government manage feral horses as outlined by law.
