The Gov. was smart to back off and not get into a gun battle with the Bundy nuts
That would have gone over like a lead balloon and a lot of naïve people would have ended up killed needlessly. Here are some other options they may pursue:

Don’t be surprised if the cattle disappear from public land anyway. Bundy is a criminal, a bully, a border-line seditionist, with multiple court orders against him, and opposition within his own community. He may withdraw his now smaller herd back to his own property. Then the Feds may choose to continue to use contracted cattleman gather the cattle up, only more slowly and discreetly, maybe even one at a time. There are other options as well, and these could be worse for Bundy now that the round up has been temporarily abandoned — the Feds now have the option to wait until his new, radical, Militia friends go home, and then pursue criminal charges against him for obstruction of governmental administration and menacing. They may seize his bank accounts and the property that actually belongs to him because of his mounting debts ($1.1 million in unpaid fees, fines, and interest, plus nearly another million for the cost of the aborted round up, plus however much that cost was inflated because of the need to increase the law enforcement presence since he threatened to start a range war). Bundy fought the law, but ultimately the law will win. And as romantically as the cowboy and the outlaw are often viewed in our culture, in this case the law should prevail. http://www.allthingscrimeblog.com/.../nevada-squatter.../
