In the 1980s the Bundy’s neighbors were driven out of business by the EPA with enforcement of the Endangered Species Act.
Cliven Bundy kept going asserting that Nevada owned the land and he started sending checks to Clark County for grazing fees.
And we were on our way to Bunkerville and where we are now.....
