I assume the rapid increase from 2011 til now, is due to fines? Kinda like if you don't pay the IRS the fines quickly add up to more than the amount initially owed.
What it's starting to look like, is this guy was ranching there and paying fees. Then in 1993 for some reason he stopped paying the fees.
Some time along the way from what Dyno Mo posted the BLM decided to change the amount of cattle a rancher could have to a max of 150 head. That of course is a devastating reduction.
Now the issue is, why did he stop paying the fees in 1993 and when did BLM make the change to a max of 150 head of cattle? If they are connected, then I can understand him fighting. However if he stopped paying because of the Mormon BS and then later BLM changed the rules to 150 to force him out.. Then he has no rights as he wasn't paying his due.
Even still it is Federal land and the govt does have the ability to change the rules. Meaning just because people might of done some 50 years ago, doesn't mean it will continue today.
Seems over all there is far too much bias on all sides reporting and very little accurate reporting of what led up to this.
