Interesting read for sure. My brotherinlaw is a rancher in that area and I have personally been there many times and helped him with his cattle. He leases about 25,000 acres from the BLM and owns the ranch of another 20000 acres. The BLM land has no water and he hauls 7000 gallons of water 25 miles out for the 300 head of cows every other day. His family has been there ranching since the 1950s. He has often had campers and hunters on the land with no problems. The BLM land is open to the public.
