The fees are supposed to be for the blm to manage the grazing lands. They didn't. They used the fees to buy out the grazing rights after they forced the ranchers to reduce their herds to a size that put them out of business. 51 of 52 ranchers in Clark Co went under. Bundy is the last man standing.

he refused to pay fees to the feds because they weren't doing their job and they were trying to destroy him.

Look up the related Wayne Hage case.

There is also water rights involved, states rights, state sovreignity etc

Reason I am so particular is I know a bunch of Dems who are claiming he’s just not paid his fees...indicating he’s a deadbeat, and it’s not said nicely.

I’d like to understand it better.

I sympathize with the rancher but if I had to represent him legally...going to be a tough go.

Will look up the Wayne Hage case.
