Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range Tours
June 11, 2008
The Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center has obtained a commercial guide permit that allows for tours into the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. These tours will be day trips, and no more than six people will be able to go on a tour each day. We will be starting these tours in mid-June. As more details are finalized, we will be posting them here on our website. Until then, feel free to call or email the Center for more information on the tours.
Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range Herd Management Area Plan
June 11, 2008
The Bureau of Land Management Billings Field Office has released the draft Herd Management Area Plan (HMAP) for the Pryor Mountain Wild Horse Range. HMAPs are documents that outline how wild horse areas are managed, and so this new HMAP could change such range objectives as the appropriate management level for the wild horses, habitat improvement, and the like. It is a great idea to become familiar with the HMAP as the Billings Field Office continues through the revision process. This document can be found at the Billings Field Office's main wild horse web page at http://www.blm.gov/mt/st/en/fo/billings_field_office/wildhorses/pryorherd.html.
