I’ve leased and leased out allot of land over the years for oil and gas exploration, hunting and for grazing all are contractual agreements. Several ways to break that agreement but the quickest is don’t pay your lease. This is what MR. Bundy did and now we see the results. Not only did he break the lease he continued to graze land he had no contractual agreement on. The fact that it’s taken 20 years for this to come to a head amazes me, I would of had him and his cows off in within 30 days of his breaking the contract. I would also charge a per cow grazing fee until all his cows were removed.
The way I see it is they should have fenced the property and kept Bundys livestock off their land then. Nevada is Open Range Land. That means the property owner must fence his property to keep free ranging livestock and wild horses off their land. Case settled IMO.
