I believe that the Bundy’s property is bordered by Nevada state land therefore the open range law applies and the BLM should be telling Nevada to get Bundy’s cattle back onto their land.
Lets be clear here. Bundy only owns about 150 acres. Obviously not enough to support 500 head. So Bundy has been allowing his herd to graze on BLM land. Per the court filing back in 2013 ...
In its complaint, the United States alleges that, not only has Bundy failed to comply with the court’s orders that he remove his cattle from the Bunkerville Allotment and pay the financial penalties, but that Bundy’s cattle have moved beyond the boundaries of the Bunkerville Allotment and are now trespassing on a broad swath of additional federal land (the “New Trespass Lands”), including public lands within the Gold Butte area that are administered by the BLM, and National Park System land within the Overton Arm and Gold Butte areas of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The United States seeks an order enjoining Bundy’s unauthorized grazing on the New Trespass Lands...
The federal courts have issued an injuction against Bundy telling him NOT to graze on federal land. Further, he has been told to remove his cattle. He has not done so.
