The part of Nevada in question has a long running battle between the BLM and locals. Locals want to continue to use rs2477 roads, the BLM wants to close them. Years ago they called it the sagebrush rebellion. Bundy’s claim of prior rights seems a bit sketchy. I am very surprised he did not end up in jail.
Yeah, grazing is cheap. But they are $1M in arrears. Wasn’t until the BLM attempted to collect and evict that the prior rights became part of the argument we heard in the media.

Once you dig down into it you find they are a bunch of anarchist that seem skilled at swaying the media. As Chuck said, if you are going to use a public asset, you have to pay the public (gevernment) for its use. For some reason, they think they are exempt and want something for nothing. The funny thing to me is that typically, grazing rights from the government are extremely cheap compared to private land costs. It is $1.35 per head a month or $16.20 a year. A friend of mine that leases 40,000 acres on a ranch out here for about 1400 head. He pays about $165k a year more than that. He does get all surface rights, which include hunting which he resells, but he only does that to defray costs. I am sure he would love to forget about the hunting revenue and just pay the $22,680 a year. On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 11:28 AM <[email protected]> wrote: Is that where the Bundies are? I saw something about them wanting to do a gathering of people with armed enforcement of the right to assemble or something like that. While I sympathize somewhat with some of their grazing and water issues in Utah and Nevada those guys seem to be itching for a fight. They have the religious element in their arguments. If you graze on public land, you have to pay your grazing fees. No exceptions...

I expect we're going to follow along with Chicago here, which looks like it's probably just getting started...
