1. He stopped paying the federal fees five years before that.
After they tried to limit the number of cattle which could be grazed on land his family and that of the other ranchers had been cultivating for that purpose for generations. These grazing areas wouldn't even exist if they hadn't because the area is a natural desert wasteland. The Taylor Grazing Act of 1934 was an act of theft in direct violation of the Constitution so I still maintain he owes nothing.
2. The land has been off-limits to cattle since 1998. He's not above the law.
At the direction of a federal agency which has no legal claim to the land. If the federal government doesn't want him or any other ranchers grazing there then it should be compensating them not showing up with machine guns and sniper rifles to steal cattle and rough up the locals.
