Because it is PUBLIC LAND, because WE are ALL paying for it with OUR
taxes!! I for one give him permission to use it! This is the communist EPA

They used to pay rent, then stopped, why?? Normally when ranches use government land they pay rent - - why should this ranch be any different? If it’s public land I own it too - and I expect the government to not let anyone use it for free.

That’s how real life works.

” According to court documents, “As this court previously ruled in United States v. Bundy, Case No. CV-S-98-531-JBR (RJJ), 1998 U.S. Dist. (D. Nev. Nov. 4, 1998), “the public lands in Nevada are the property of the United States because the United States has held title to those public lands since 1848, when Mexico ceded the land to the United States.”

When you want to use something that you don’t own and never have owned expect to pay rent!
