ELY, Nev. – The Bureau of Land Management is seeking public comments on proposed management of wild horses across three herd management areas collectively referred to as the Eagle Complex. The Caliente Field Office manages the Eagle area in Nevada. In Utah, the Cedar City Field Office manages the Mount Elinor and Choke Cherry areas.
Current wild horse populations exceed the established appropriate management level of 145-265 for the complex. As of March 2026, there are an estimated 2,093 wild horses in the complex. Chronic herd overpopulation damages habitats and can lead to starvation and thirst for the animals.
Additional information is available at the BLM National NEPA Register. Comments may be emailed to [[email protected]](https://www.blm.gov/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#27656b6a78697178627e6368786246404b4264484a574b425f786f6a667767454b4a09404851) or delivered to the BLM Caliente Field Office, Attn: Tyler Reese, 1400 Front Street, Caliente, NV 89008.
