1. re:
   wild-horse ’round-up’

   This time, they cry it is “…for the grouse and deer…”.
   This’s their claim.
   What is the other hand doing?
   Mis-direction, concealing reality, and lying are their Operation Standards.
   That, and the absolute inability to link actions to consequences.

   Why now?
   A harsh winter is weeks away.
   The herd would automatically self-regulate… resulting in a stronger resilient herd.

   The proclamation is from the ever-reliable under-paid over-worked folks at TheBureauOfJustifyingOurExistence.
   So, of course, in that context, it makes sense.

   1. Have you seen those applications to adopt a horse from the BLM. Asks for your cell phone, wife’s cell phone, next of kin, SSN, your employment, employment address, your home address, and the address where the horse will be staying.

      NO THANKS! I’M OUT!

   2. [Some unkind words deleted, by the editor.]

      Horses were brought to North America first by the Spanish explorers,and later by European
      colonists and immigrants.
      What you see destroying the range in the western states today are the Feral descendants of those domestic equines.
      These animals that you like to call wild are inbred and very difficult to tame.The herd will
      defend a spring or water hole not allowing other animals to drink.
      The horses hooves damage the top soil crust causing erosion.
      Deer, elk, antelope, and sage grouse populations are adversely impacted by the feral horses.
      No one is saying that the feral horse are not one of the most handsome of Gods creations.
      The feral population is exploding. If left unchecked there people who mighty cull the herds,
      and it probably won’t be with a roundup.
      I don’t know what to say about the BLM. Their bad rap is mostly self inflicted,but at least they are trying to find solutions.

      1. Thats OK. Bogus information warrants a harsh reply occasionally.

2. Increasing voters: Good. The Silent Majority had better wake up and take up before it’s entirely too late.

   Missoula gun ordinance: It is down heartening and infuriating to see government time and again trounce on the prime liberties that founded this nation. I am certainly glad that the state supreme court ruled unanimously to and this atrocious farce but it never should have been required in the first place. Local citizens have got to start voting for constitutional servants to head all forms of government.

   Wyoming economic growth: Wyoming is not alone. We as a nation are already entering the next recession. Plan accordingly. Eliminate any outstanding debt that you can right now. Stockpile all Goods that you were going to need and set aside extra cash. Yeah I know? Preaching to the choir. It never hurts to hear it again though, does it?

   1. I’m not sure increased voters in Ada county is a “good thing.” As Boise/Meridian continues to grow I am seeing a gradual trend away from conservatism. Hopefully, I am proven wrong but I have concerns that [Moscow] and Boise could skew the rest of Idaho’s vote in the wrong direction.

3. Sounds like they have the same situation in Canada as here – city folk don’t give a damn about us rural types.

4. The horses aren’t native. Why not remove them all?

5. Apex species like horses and deer don’t have enough natural predators to keep populations in check (man has killed the natural predators and we kill the strongest instead of the weakest when hunting game animals). Even though starvation will eventually keep the population balanced with the food supply those horses can do quite a bit of damage to the land affecting other animal populations and even the health of the range. See the video showing how far and much of Yellowstone NP was affected by 14 wolves. Everything is connected in God’s creation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8nyIyPZy68
