Pinging the Desatoya Horses

Some of the horses captured in the December, 2019 roundup were to be fitted with GPS radio transmitters and returned to the HMA, according to NEPA Project DOI-BLM-NV-C010-2020-0004-CX, but the news release announcing the end of the incident doesn’t mention it.

The transmitters were to be braided into their tails, according to Attachment 1 of the Categorical Exclusion approved in November, 2019.

The 127 horses remaining after the roundup have blossomed to 215 in less than a year, according to Section 1.2 of the Draft EA for the new resource enforcement plan.
