I couldn't be bothered to read the article. Are they going to let us sportsmen hunt these horses or is it off to the glue/dog food factory? While I'd prefer the former I'm still ok with the latter.

Steelhead is one word dip-shit!

Hell, I might get one of these BLM horses and use it to mow the yard and commute.

So is it "dip-shit", "dip shit", or "dipshit"? I am so confused.

It's one word. Any 2nd grader knows that.

You mean "instead" and "gaffe"?

This is fun.

Deer out here in the East are like rats; they're pests with no surviving natural predators.

As an aside, the range and high country in the West is an absolute mess due to the BLM's subservience to the ranchers. We need to reclaim the natural resource of the highland prairies before they all disappear like our prairies in the plains have.

Puhleaze.

Give me a break. Most BLM land is f...ing worthless and most ranchers actually improve through proper maintenance. Eastern bureaucrats romanticize the western wastelands, but you and other are grossly misinformed about BLM land management. This is not to say that some ranchers don't abuse the land, but most are responsible.

People who romanticize "mustangs" have never spent time around them.

Correct.

A good friend of mine works for the BLM. He is pro-rancher. He describes his job as having to help ignorant eastern eco-nuts to understand that they don't know what the hell they are talking about when it comes to managing western lands.

Addendum: I saw a troop of wild horses in the grasslands along US 20 in the Thunder Basin National Grasslands. Very cool to see, but the stupid horses took off running when I stopped to take a picture. I guess it's against the rules of the Wild Horse Union to have photos snapped.

Tell me how thousands if not millions of cattle on federal land are good for the land.

I would like to hear this explanation.
