Agree....get someone with a vested interest in the feral horses to do this and you can guarantee that the count results will be a bit dodgy. Parks should get a local staffer a seat in one of the choppers doing the deer cull mid-May and I'm sure those choppers will be flying most of the feral horse range on the BHP and they'd see most of them. Doing a ground count won't work as you can't cover enough country to ensure that you're not double-counting as you'll miss plenty that are in the bush and not out on the open plains in clear view.
Then of course there are the horses outside the BHP too and there are plenty of them lower down that will likely re-populate the BHP once the local neddies are reduced in number. All this should be seen as an on-going task and not just something to get done and then the issue is solved, once the numbers are reduced efforts should still be made to keep the pressure on otherwise horse numbers will build again and things will be much the same in 10 years time.

This is pure politics. Committees are there to 'kick the ball into the long grass'. They are not meant to DO anything, just to shut the public up.
