On a similar vein to the La. Black Bear, anyone ever seen wild horses in Louisiana?

had a college prof that had a couple hundred acres near Boston/Henry, I’d help him work and he’d let me hunt there, there were a few wild horses across the inter coastal from his farm, some cattle that would not be caught too

Those frickers drug Mick Jagger away

Saw them in Kisatchie when I was hiking the Wild Azalea Trail.

I’ve seen them in Pointe aux Chenes

I don’t think those are wild. I was told someone feeds them regularly.

Yes I saw the Kisatchie horses a few months ago when I was last in the area. Right next to 165 in Woodworth

I've seen them in Kisatchie. Although one was a gelding. So feral and recently. Maybe he just escaped and joined the herd.

Other than that they looked very wild and most likely most had not been touched by humans before.

Yes . . . Fort Polk. We would usually share a firing point with a herd every morning. I'm not sure why but they would usually leave once we started to crank up the howitzers!

The urban legend at the time is that when Fort Polk training area was formed. The gov't used eminent domain to acquire the land and livestock. Property owners were told to take their personal belongings but the livestock had to stay. I have no idea if this was true.

I also saw road runner and what I believe was a cougar at Ft Polk.

It amazes me how many people spend their entire lives in Louisiana and have no clue about things like this.

I’ve known several people from southeast Louisiana that have never even been to other parts of the state like Natchitoches for example.

I've actually been on the trail in Kisatchie and honestly had no clue about this.

And I've, of course, been to Natchitoches.

I guess it's a funny thing, the sort of trivial facts that can elude people.

ETA, however in thinking, I do sort of recall hearing about some possible small herds of random horses in the marshes that nobody really claimed, but I've never seen those and thought as someone else stated, they might not be exactly "wild." I knew zilch about these Kisatchie ones, though.
