NOTAGS Report post Posted February 3, 2020 that "500 LB" bear sure looked small to me.... and funny how the camera guy was always in the right spot at the right time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edge Report post Posted February 3, 2020 3 minutes ago, NOTAGS said: that "500 LB" bear sure looked small to me.... and funny how the camera guy was always in the right spot at the right time. Also those plow horses sure resemble mules. I gotta give the cameraman some credit, pretty good shots considering the camera technology of the day. And some of those shots while on horseback also.

Swivelhead Report post Posted February 3, 2020 Although a lot of those shots are staged it is true than old time cowboys would rope just about anything ........ fact. Our ancestors were a tough bunch. Cool post BTW. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTAGS Report post Posted February 4, 2020 PETA would have been up MGM's arse with an army on this one.... life was simpler back in the 1930's. And entertainment was definitely better. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

10Turkeys Report post Posted February 4, 2020 My bud told me he roped a Javelina one time, he said it ran under his horse and started snapping his teeth. He said the rodeo was on. I never ask him if he did it again. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZbowhntr Report post Posted February 4, 2020 My dad was a cowboy on a ranch south of Tucson when he was young and told me a story about him roping a javelina one time and his riding partner hog tied it and threw it up onto my dads saddle with my dad in the saddle still. He said it turned into a rodeo real quick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Edge Report post Posted June 21, 2022 When I was living near Quemado, NM a couple cowboy thought it would be fun to rope a bear in a small tree and pull him out. This didn't please the bear much. One cowboy dropped the rope and ran leaving his partner holding a very pissed bear. Near ran up the rope and grabbed the fool by the leg and shook him like a rag doll. Now the bear had to be tracked and killed and his head sent to the state vet lab. Joe roper got off with some stitches. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
