No, because this isn't a lease where he's obligated to make payments. The remedy for failure to pay the grazing fees in accordance with the grazing permit is not to allow Bundy's cattle on the range. It's like a license, not a lease. Don't pay the fees required for the license, that's fine but you no longer have a permit to graze your cattle there.

That's the whole issue. He stopped paying, but kept ranging his cattle in trespass. A federal court twice found him to be tresspassing and ordered his cattle off the federal public lands. Nobody kicked him off because of tortoises or anything else, he just didn't want to pay anymore and has made excuse after excuse about it.

After 20 years, BLM agents started enforcing the two court orders. They let this guy go for 20 years.

The fee, by the way, is $1.35 per AUM, or the amount of forage area estimated to be grazable by a cow in a month. It's not exactly breaking Bundy's bank.
