So there never were grazing rights?
Just that the government started leasing land to bundy, that it always owned. Bundy never owned any rights to the land?
Correct, Bundy only owns about 150 acres. The 600,000 acres in question have been owned by the US Government since the US/Mexico war back in the early 1800’s. Bundy was leasing the grazing rights to that land and then decided to stop paying those fees yet still use that land.
