You are right Faster Horses, Meyer is quite a character. I have known him for many years. He loves to tell stories and play poker. He is good at both. If anyone uses Amazon to buy books, they have some good prices on 'Hat Tips'. Used copies in excellent condition are $1.99.

I started to put the URL here but it is so long, I thought it would stretch the page again.
Some of his best stories and stories about him will never see print!

"Both Feet in The Stirrups' and 'Good Men and Salty Cusses' are both true stories set in central Montana-I can't remember who wrote them. He was a guy born the day of the Custer Massacre and lived till about 90 so he'd seen alot of stuff in his time. I read them at my buddies in Plentywood when I was A'I'ing down there. The Ben Green books are really good too.The best campfire stories have an element of truth in them lol. Now here's one that is totally true-my buddy crawled in a bear den this spring and took some film of him cuddled up nexrt to this hibernating bear-he said it was pretty cool till the camera light started bugging the bear's eyesand he started to wake up. Crazy son of a gun-I was going to crawl in one once but I shot into it first-lucky I did because a 'BIG' old boar bear come rumbling out-I'd creased his noggin with my .270-I shot him from the hip when he went by-squared 7 feet-that was fairly western for a bit.

Must have been a fearful evening MLA!
I done pondered your situation a spell & I figure if a man was to wait until they opened their mouths wide open, then you drew back your fist & rammed it down their mouths as far as you could reach, grabbed them by the inside of their poop chute, turned them inside out, they’d be facing off the other direction & couldn‘t bite ya! Might save you a kettle or two! :wink:

Wasn't so much fearful as a little bothersome. Never thought of tryin your trick. It just mighta worked.

Y'know I was thinkin of tryin what some others have done when in a pinch wif the skeeters. I've heard tell of an oldtimer who would chain up a big ole grizzly near his bedroll. Bein's he was chained up all nite, he'd get just grouchy enough to swat them blood-suckin varmints right outta the air.

But then since all we have is the odd black bear, I didn't think it would be fair to tie'im up and try to make a stand against them skeeters. Just not enough to'im to make it a fair bout.

Not that I particularly like black bears, but I don't like seein'im tortured to death ether.
