Interesting that with only one "kinda" exception, not a single poster on this far too long thread deals with the BLM. Even he is just a user of public land for recreation.

There has NOT BEEN one single rancher who leases grazing rights from the BLM or Forest Service show up here.

In summary, the collective opinion would lead us to conclude that Bundy is a poor victim of a government agency and all the other ranchers who pay the grazing fees are just fools and should dig up Tom Horn to kill anyone who thinks that public land is public land, not the domain of some self appointed fellow who thinks his rights supercede those of a duly elected government.

As with most blustering on the internet, short on facts, long on rants.

I do almost all my hiking, riding, hunting, shooting and fishing on public lands. BLM, National Forest and Federal Wilderness. I shudder to think what these lands would be were they in private hands. Would you trade this for a development of McMansions or a forest of gas wells ? Not this kid for sure !

Stop blaming the government. Blame humanity which is outbreeding the ability to have a quality of life we would all enjoy. 150,000,000 Americans when I was a kid in the glorious 1950s, 300,000,000 today DUH ? Stop yammering here go buy and read: The Malthusian Theory of Population and you'll see the real problem.
