Feral horse hunt called off due to pressure.

[Jamesl]

I totally love this! Talk about motivation to heal!

I bet the vet would have lowered the repair bill just to keep the horse from becoming dinner. LOL.

Let’s be real for a minute.

Horse huggers.

I don't care either way... guess my question is what do you do with one after you shoot it?

I'm sure I'd take advantage of the situation to say "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse." And mean it quite literally.

Found nearly 200 feral horse dead at gray mountain.
Population estimates of 50-70k feral horses.

Next time when they set up the hunt maybe don't announce it to the World. A hunting site or two will get them all the hunters they need. They could also do a couple Helihorsey hunts and thin the herd really quick.

Yeah, they need to not advertise the hunts. Just send out a mailer to current hunting license holders and let them know they are selling the tags. Easy money

Id like to watch one of the popular outdoor tv personalities mow a few down with the shotty from a chopper.

I use to work for a WWII veteran and he told me they served a lot of horse meat to him and the rest of the crew on the ship he was station on! He told me that it wasn't bad, although it did have a little different taste!

I hate that they died a slow death but glad they're gone

This is going to end up in a situation where not having the grass and water resources for the overwhelming amount of feral horses is going to be a much more inhumane way to end for the feral horses.

I'm not surprised by this. People get weird when it comes to animals they consider pets. Dogs, cats, horses, rabbits etc. Now to be fair, I'm the wrong guy to be saying anything because I don't let our kids name anything but their horse and the dog. Not even the barn cat gets a name. We eat coons, possums, coyotes and everything else in between.



We thought my daughter's horse she'd just gotten for Christmas might having something wrong with him and the vet mentioned that it could have some long shot of a neurological problem (it ended up he didn't and he's just fine) but I looked the vet in the eye with my daughter standing there beside me and I said, "Well if he does, we are shooting him and eating him. For as much money as I paid for him, he isn't going to waste." I thought he was going to drop his clipboard. He looked at me like I was crazy and said, "You can't eat a HORSE!" I said, "yes sir we can." One of his female vet assistants looked like she might pass out and he looked like he might call the law, so I tried to play it off a little and said something like, "well I hope it doesn't come to that....." to ease the tension. But I'm telling you, those folks nearly swallowed their bubble gum because they could tell I was dead serious, which I was.



An animal is an animal and meat is meat. Feral horses, over grazing and starving to death need to be controlled just like hogs, coyotes, deer or any other animal population. What's amazing is, if left to the animals rights folks, more animals would actually suffer and die slow painful deaths for no reason than by us hunters managing their herd sizes.



You can't talk rationally to the lefties.

I’m beginning to like you already. Great rational [emoji817]

Majority of snowflakes get offended by everything and animals being a major one yet the don’t stop to think where their meat comes from. They are just as guilty by association.

I remember reading one of Howard Hills favorite “Game Animals” he liked to go after were wild donkeys.

Absolutely that’s a rational thought, have that conversation with any horse lover though. Apparently they live forever

I was in Holland (Netherlands) and had steak i thought was beef and it was great. It was horse and it was very good.
