Wild cattle catchers needed in California!

Yeah boys, as much time as y'all spend jawin on the computer you must either have a key board installed on the horn or you ain't been in the saddle much lately. I'll rephrase the question so maybe you can understand it. I heard of some cattle while, riding the Devil's Garden, that BLM or forest service wanted removed. I was hoping that this is what you were talking about and could tell me the geographical area. If I have mistakenly stumbled upon a group of quad riding wantabes please excuse the intrusion and continue the fairy tales. My thinkin' is if we were standing face to face you would curb your insults quite alot. It was not my intent to insult anyone but then I'm more familiar with talking in the real west than fantasy land.
 
Yeah sounds like it from your original post there pard . Yeah we all live in fairy land were the grass grows belly deep and the wild bunch still roam the country and we all wear six shooters and talk like we just steped out of a cheap cowboy movie . wait a minnute here now wasnt that you talkin like that ?? Thats right , we were talkin bout how the forest service and the blm dont hardley ever put out contracts if ever. Now maybe you should stick to the high chapparel or the mahogony that you ride wooops i mean mahogony canyons or what ever and keep a look out over the west , we wouldnt want any trouble comin our way cause sounds like your pretty tuff too . Sorry we dont fit in with you wild west califonia cowboys sorry to have hurt your feelings with my post , i hope that some day you can recover and go on to be tuff another day .

Yeah i have a key board on my saddle horn custom shirt too , have a antanna that straps to my back so i always have reception , and i just ride around in this flat country over here in arizona ha ha . Then i like to go for rides on my quad and stare at my shadow only hoping that someday i can be as good of a cowboy as you , and learn all that awsome lingo .
 
i aint real sure about those ca. cows but the scenery sounds like a fellow could get his back broke ridin with an outfit like that.if he showed up down here we might could use him for our annual snipe round up though. :twisted:
 
Well boys, you still don't give a straight answer. I should have guessed. Only a few of us really ride the rough stock but many dream about it. The challenge was to give a straight answer, I understand it upsets you to fail. I once rode with some boys from AZ, I wonder if the Flake boys still P*** their pants when a horse spooks?
 
Real COWBOYS don't brag.You all act like my little kids. :roll:

I'm so sick of reading about how great you are in AZ,

AZCowpuncher your a legend in your own mind.You better go read your Will James book and tell us how its done...

Naw, Az is such a goodlookin' feller and good hand, that he's got all the girls chasin' after him. :-)

At least the one that like REAL cowboys.
 
As far as the Flake's they are team ropers not cowboys . Denny you wouldnt know a hand if he slapped you in the face , i dont tell anyone how its done i tell them how i do it and how its done in Arizona i dont know what you do in the city and i dont really care either , if ya dont like my posts dont read them . Nacona were did you meet the Flakes a team ropin ?
 
This has all been a lot of fun to read and quite entertaining. I really shouldn't jump in the middle of this, but can't help myself. I'll lead off by saying that I'm a fairly average hand and it usually takes two loops for me to catch a fast calf in a real flat pasture. But the thing is, I'm not sure I understand where all of this bravado is coming from. Most ranching-type folks and cowboys that I know very well (yeah, I do get around the country quite a bit, but maybe not in the absolute roughest areas) are pretty darned humble and easy to deal with. Some of them can sure handle stock and a rope to a level that I admire quite a lot. Guess I haven't lived in the real, real rough territory where it takes the most awful tough horses, dogs and men to do cow work, so I'm not commenting on that. I've seen the photos on here that azcowpuncher has posted and I know that many of you fellas sure have your work cut out in the country where you handle wild stock. If the actual cowboying that is being discussed in this thread is even half as tough as the talk that you folks are throwing around, I guess it must be daredevil stuff and a guy is lucky to come home at night. Regardless, I'd say the representative stockmen or agriculturalists that I've run across sure don't puff their chest out nearly as much as is being done here. I recall the instances in my life when I was pretty unsure about myself and had very little confidence in my skills. Guess what I ended up doing? I'd wag my tongue quite a bit and hint around about how much I knew or how much I could do. Luckily, as I've matured I've outgrown the need to tell everybody just how good I am. Not saying some of you don't do the work you're describing. Just commenting on the fashion in which it's all being represented!

Anyhow, you guys have fun with it and I'll always have some entertainment here on ranchers.net. I've seen enoug of what Denny can produce and it looks like he knows how to make some beef that has value. He knows his business, knows is cows and I don't question it. His business just doesn't happen to involve the same conditions as others. By the way, don't be getting your feelings hurt. :-)

Sorry I could'nt get back to you sooner but some of us actually Have our own cattle to tend to.As far as not knowing a "COWBOY" if they act like you who would want to.I know plenty of hands here that have been in all parts of this country the one thing they dont do is Brag and they are polite both of which you are not.

What you should learn is there are top hands in every part of this world and each could learn something from another.As far a rideing a tractor yes I do.I bale hay for a couple months each year and in turn I have something to feed my cows when a real winter arrives you Know 3 feet of snow and -30 below..

You have your self a good day now.
 
I give respect were its earned not to who demands it so sorry i hurt your feelings . But as far as there are good hands everywere if you read some of my posts you would see i say that very thing all the time . Now your tryin to make it sound like i sit here and try to say Arizona and its cowboys are the best thing to walk the face of the earth but then again if you read my other posts you would see thats not what i say at all . Now if you had ever been around you would know who gets respect and who doesnt , i have worked with good hand s all over myself , everyone does things different some better than others . But when you sit here and try to tell me what you think is a cowboy and you have never been in this country or maybe have never been west and actually worked out here not talkin bout just on some vacation trail ride , then you would maybe have an idea about what i talk about . As far as your winters go yeah i know you have snow up there and you have to feed well thats what you have to do right ? well in my posts i tell you what we have to do here so what the difference ? Northern az gets winters too , we get below zero all the time and its nothin for us to get a few feet of snow , it doesnt last as long as yours but we do get it , as you can see from my pictures its not all cactus and sand . So unless you have anything else to say about me and the way i talk or the way i do things then as far as i am concerned i am done with it .

Well done,
Az I'm proud o' ya. No matter how good your cows are, there's some things ya can only learn when your' ride to the ranch left ya horseback and a long damn way out. 1. You can't team rope without a team and team counts like this: you got a header and his horse thinkin' alike. That's 2 and you got a heel man and his mount thinkin alike. That's 2 more. So if both your riders and both your hoss's find the page at once and that's a damned rare event, the equation plays out like this: 2+2=4. Given that, ol' hoss, I find it a tough to believe the Flakes could stand up a team of any worth. But even if they did they'd be a world away from where we cut trail on a little place called the Monitor Livestock Company right at 529,000 acres in monitor valley stretched to the crest of the toiyobe and the takima. I don't doubt your word compadre. I doubt that any man I seen kill good mounts outa sheer fear blind meaness could form a team like we're talkin'. If they did and went to ropings you sure as H$ll never would find me there. As to the fella that comes from the humble and gentile ranch stock that never puffed it's chest. Congratulations on your inheritance, down by the bunkhouse the hired men's boys may have to take a road less traveled to the big boss's house. Now it occurs to me that I don't own 1 single cow and I'm glad of it, Right now I run between 80 and 90 d,,,,,,d fine horses and I'm hankerin' to try my stock a'gin some wild arse bovines. Not only that, but some extreme adventure clients are lookin' to pay to hunt wild beasts. There is a herd of near 25 roamin here without correct permitin'. I was hoping to find other "mavericks" and not have to wipe out any herd tough enough to stand alone. There's another bunch what runs wild in the Amergosa Valley on the borders of the parkland but that's another story and a private one at that. Maybe I should have signed up on horsemans.net but I cain't find them SOBs.
