The NSW gov should open this up to those who shoot. It should help bring down the numbers.

Doesn't surprise me that the numbers are back up, I saw plenty of signs of horses when I was up around Bondo a few weeks back and even had one launch out right in front of my bike while going along Firey Range. Didn't see any dead horses though which was pretty common a few years back before a few efforts at shooting them.

I hope they don't go and close off large swathes of the area for months again though like they did with the last concerted effort at aerial shooting in the north of Kosciusko park.
