The Bureau of Land Management is conducting an operation to capture excess wild horses in the Pryor Mountains, which straddle the Montana-Wyoming border. There are around 175 mustangs on the range. The appropriate management level is 90-120 horses. Bureau employees hope to catch 30 or 40 mustangs from four bait-trap sites to put up for adoption. The agency is taking a slower approach by using baited traps instead of helicopters to catch horses. In addition, they are removing only specific horses. The public can see the removed mustangs at the Britton Springs area in northern Wyoming. Pryor horses have boasted a 100% adoption rate.
