Well, tried that when I organized a habitat educational day presented by the Cows and Fish organization on Elk Creek attended by a bunch of staff from Forestry, Fish and Wildlife and the ACA.
The day resulted in different grazing plans and salting locations.
During the day I asked the Forestry staff member responsible for cattle operations how much the Govt recovered from Cow grazing on the Elk Creek flats. She told me $6500/year. I asked if I raised $7000 and was willing to pay for the grazing lease, could I get the cows removed.
Nope, no a chance,
Entrenched entitlement trumps Bull Trout.

You are confusing a legal lease agreement with entitlement. Quite a stretch.
