Do you really believe large tracts of federally managed land can be purchased by individuals?
You have zero idea what you are talking about...again. I live in a county where 95% of the land is poorly managed either by the BLM or the USFS. My ranch borders on BLM property and I have a state lease on a section.
I know of dozens of instances where there are boundary disputes between BLM, FS and private property owners, often where there were survey errors from the early 1900’s and resolving these minor disputes often take years to complete.
Locally, a FS lease holder of property containing a state historic site has been trying to complete a land exchange with the FS...he is trying to obtain title to 3-acres in exchange for 11-acres of land bordering a wild and scenic river. He wants to use his own funds to restore the 3-acre historic site...this simple transaction has been going on for 22-years with possible resolution next year...maybe?
You really are clueless on how things works out here.

The below site will tell you how it’s done.

“The feds have sold hundreds of thousands of acres to private owners over the last 25 years.”

The problem is that the ranchers want the land use for free, and want to do whatever they wish on those lands. They do not own them, and do not want to pay the price to acquire them.
And it appears that when private owners purchase the land for grazing, their demands for money for leasing are a lot more to the ranchers than the feds to graze their cattle.

I’m not screaming foul at the government when people try to take land that doesn’t belong to them by force. Normally they arrest people for that. It’s called sedition.
