Greed
Unappropriated is a joke. The United States acquired this land and gave away millions of acres to farmers, ranchers, a n d the state when they became a state. The states blew it all, selling their state owned public land for the money. Now they run low so the want America's public land to sell. Ranchers may pay more in taxes (if they have property tax) than they now pay in rental. However they can post it and lease to outfitters and keep you out. Greed. They want what's theirs, and they want what's yours.
