I know in many parts of the country poaching is almost a lifestyle. I would not put it on the same footing as rancher’s running their cattle on land where they have water and usage rights.
But back to the point, these Feds are going to be taking a closer look at their “risk assessment” the next time they go after a rancher. I am glad that Bundy got the support, and was not treated like the usual “lone, old crazy guy that refused to pay his fee...”
