Buffalo Hills DNA Out for Public Review?

The project status says public scoping but the plan has already been determined.

The Draft DNA asserts that a 2017 EA adequately covers the Proposed Action, discussed in Section A.

Up to 235 wild horses and 33 wild burros would be captured by helicopter.

Approximately 100 mares would be treated with GonaCon Equine and be returned to the HMA with 103 stallions.

The remaining horses and all burros would be removed.

The HMA is on the east side of Twin Peaks and inside the Buffalo Hills Allotment.

As of today, Western Horse Watchers has not seen a BLM news release marking the beginning of a comment period.

The DNA said the Stockade Canyon fire burned 14% of the HMA in July but did not indicate if livestock grazing had been curtailed due to the loss of forage.

A roundup appears on the FY25 schedule with a start date of November 15.
