Reduction in Wild Horses
from Fresh Tracks Weekly · host Marcus Hockett and the Fresh Tracks Crew
This week, we are talking about Wild Horses in the West. They’ve been overpopulated on public lands for years… but have finally seen the biggest single-year population reduction since 1985. Randy failed to mention last week that he received the Wallace Pate award at the RMEF celebration. This is the highest conservation honor that RMEF gives out! Link to video on the award: https://youtu.be/0MJ8wd0Z1o0?si=yzhEIYAuB_pEB9Bs We have a quick update on the Corner crossing case in Wyoming. Oral arguments for the legal case were recently held at the 10 Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver. We cover the highly anticipated news that Debbie Colbert is the new Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife Director. We have an update on the bill in Vermont that would have changed who has authority over fish and wildlife management. It has failed to move forward and is dead for all intents and purposes. In Wyoming, the Bureau of Land Management has proposed ending coal leasing in the Powder River Basin, which includes Northeast Wyoming and southern Montana. Learn more about your ad choices.
