The BLM has determined that there are 586 excess horses in the HMA, home of the Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Tour.
The Proposed Action, described in Section A of the DNA Worksheet, calls for gather and removal via helicopter, with roping or bait-trapping as needed.
There are no plans to treat any of the mares with fertility control pesticides and return them to the range.
The agency reviewed previous planning documents and concluded they adequately analyzed the impacts associated with the Proposed Action.
The DR was copied to the project folder along with the FONSI and DNA Worksheet.
The HMA overlaps the Lombard, Highway Gasson and Rock Springs allotments.
It was not zeroed-out in the Final Rock Springs RMP Decision.
