Feral horses are a problem in the American plains and west with one of the issues being the fact their carcasses will attract grizzlies or black bears which can then encroach on humans. Hiking out, digging a massive pit, and then burying a horse really isn’t an option so they blow them up to increase the speed of decomposition.

They also degrade and destroy native grassland and the whole problem could be easily solved with a cull of the herds, but some dipshit-wanabe-cowboys are obsessed with “saving” “wild” horses so now the federal government has to spend over a $100 million on horse contraception to keep the population vaguely in check.

In case anyone suspects, merely because the author is a blaster by trade, they might be too quick to suggest explosives as the solution to a problem, fyi they also co-authored Boulder buster : breaking rocks without explosives. (The rest of their work here is about using explosives, though.)

Turns out it’s a lot harder to do this with a whale

Thanks for the tips! I think i will blow up a horse tomorrow, for recreational purposes of course ;)

I love the intricacies, how to place your explosives, the type of explosiv, the timings, its thrilling!

I cast fireball.

I thought necromancy is banned in the US, didn’t know they use Corpse Explosion.
