The wild horse and burro situation in some Western states has long been out of control.

When did night vision and thermal technology come about? Hell, I have no idea - but our longtime friend Darren Jones of Armasight is well versed on the topic. We try not to get to technical, but still explain how these [...]
While they might look like your neighbor's mutt, truly wild (feral) dogs have no place on the landscape. Often void of human fear and quite aggressive, they're also hell on wildlife and livestock. One Houston area listener recently sent me some [...]
