The Oregon occupation may be over, but the war over public land is just getting started

I don't mind the federal government holding on to the land they own, it's the bully tactics they employ to pressure ranchers to sell off their private property.

Things like:

Revoking more than half of their grazing permits and continuously raising the grazing fees they have to pay

Deliberately diverting the water bypassing the meadow lands into the rising Malheur Lakes, thereby flooding another 40 odd ranches. The ranchers had resisted all offers to sell off their land to the federal government, so instead the government made that land useless, leading to the ranchers who used to fight against the selling now being forced to beg the government to buy it off them, as they've been left ruined by the flooding. Once taken over, the bypass eliminated, the flood receded again and all that land, privately owned until forcibly made to give it up, is now part of the federal government's lands.

Illegally building a fence around the Hammonds' water source. When the Hammonds, who owned the the water rights and knew that their cattle relied on that water source daily, tried to stop the building of the fence, only to be arrested after the BLM called in the sheriff for "disturbing or interfering with federal officials".

Forcibly making the Hammonds unable to access their own land, by restricting access to parts of the Hammond’s private property. In order to get to the upper part of their ranch the Hammonds had to go on a road that went through the Refuge. The BLM barricaded the road so they couldn't access the upper parts of their land.

After the road was proven to be part of the county, to the BLM's dismay, they revoked more of the Hammond’s grazing permits without any given cause, court proceeding or court ruling. Because of the BLM's actions, and Oregon being a fence out state, the Hammond's were forced to either build and maintain miles of fences or be restricted from the use of their private property. Cutting their ranch almost in half, they could not afford to fence the land, so they were forced to remove the cattle, costing them a ton of income.

These sort of tactics is how the BLM bullies and forces people into submission and into selling their lands to them. That's what they did to just about all of the Hammonds' neighbors, it's what they tried to do to the Hammonds, it's what they're currently trying to do ]in Texas](http://www.ktre.com/story/30916489/blm-land-grab-2016).
