Update: Feral Horse Crisis in the West w/ Jenny Lesieutre | Big Hunt Guys Ep. 231

In this episode of the Big Hunt Guys Podcast, we sit down with Jenny Lesieutre for an update on one of the most controversial wildlife and public lands issues in the American West: feral horses and burros. Jenny breaks down the current status of feral horse and burro populations, how their numbers have grown beyond management objectives, and the impacts overpopulation can have on native wildlife, habitat health, water resources, and public lands. We also dive into the history and intent of the Wild Horse and Burro Act, how management has evolved over the decades, and the challenges agencies face today. Whether you're a hunter, conservationist, or rancher, this conversation provides important context on an issue that affects wildlife management across the West. We also discuss practical ways sportsmen can become informed, engaged, and involved in shaping future policy and management decisions.
