It's not really a right, but more like a lease.  They can graze cattle for a period of time in return for a payment.  A right is something that is hard to take away, like the right to vote.

This is more along the lines of what I thought grazing rights were. It doesn't seem like a "right" when you have to pay for it.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Yeah, it isn't a right and when you decide to not pay, you can get booted off.  Or, the landowner (US gov't) can decide to do something else with the land.

Ranchers are granted grazing rights by the Dept. of the Interior or BLM.
Kind of.

They are granted grazing rights by the agency, not the department. BLM only gives grazing rights for BLM, Forest Service for Forest Service, etc. Fun fact, Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area is just one of a handful of National Park Service sites in the US which has grazing leases, most NPS lands are off limits to grazing.

Thank you for the clarification, BT. My point was that not everyone automatically has "grazing rights". They enter into a contract and have specific rights (and responsibilities), under that contract.

AND often times the grazing rights come and go with the individual ranch sales.
They are often a long term agreement that is very hard to revoke.
Most of the time they are defined by how many cow calf pairs can be on a certain amount of acres.

So what is 1080? Some kind of poison I guess.

Good for the rancher for defending his living.
Screw BLM and all of the other agencies.

The guy used his official position as a highly placed federal employee to give weight to his complaint, which was at first glance appears to be entirely founded on the lies of Rob Wielgus, a WSU professor Large Carnivore Conservation Lab at WSU.
