From what I read early on in all this, the Bundy family grazing rights predate the BLM and run with their land. It’s like having mineral rights, they don’t own the ground, just grazing rights. The BLM was supposed to maintain and enhance the grazing on the land. Once they failed to do so in favor of turtles and Harry Reids interests, they stopped paying the fees.
I suppose that rubs your overbearing big government fur backwards, tough crap. And yeah, you can do your own research on it.
That was debunked a long time ago, which is why it’s not mention much by anybody anymore.
