Well, your sources are mistaken. At the adoption of the Nevada constitution, all "rights" to remaining undistributed public lands were ceded to the feds, and the state could NOT tax them.
Bundy owns by fee simple title little or no land. Any claims his family had "permission" from someone to graze prior to statehood were lost when the Nevada constitution was ratified. He has been illegally grazing federal lands and refusing to reduce his herds as ordered. He's a scofflaw and a welfare mooch. I'm surprised at your change of heart regarding those who disregard the law Larry. Maybe it's his hat that tugs at your heart strings? I wear one of those too.
"Third. That the people inhabiting said territory do agree and declare, that they forever disclaim all right and title to the unappropriated public lands lying within said territory, and that the same shall be and remain at the sole and entire disposition of the United States; and that lands belonging to citizens of the United States, residing without the said state, shall never be taxed higher than the land belonging to the residents thereof; and that no taxes shall be imposed by said state on lands or property therein belonging to, or which may hereafter be purchased by, the United States, unless otherwise provided by the congress of the United States." Ordinance, Nevada Constitution - Ballotpedia
