No, Bundy did NOT have more (as in own) land.
He USED more land. The more land was federal land. This is a common condition with ranching in the west. Some land you own, and some land you lease (range fees) but what you call your ranch is the sum of the two.

“Bundy had more land until the BLM took it away from him....”
He had nothing, he was leasing and stopped paying the lease years before they shut it down.
Bundy does not recognize federal ownership of land. Bundy believes that all federal land in Clark County, Nevada belongs to the people of Clark County, Nevada, and not the federal government.
