As for priced noses I would dout it very much not unless the trapper was a
half breed form one of the tribes that did priced there noses and out west
there were not that many tribes that did this. As for ears If a trapper again
was from or adopted by a tribe, there is a chance that he would get his ears
priced but it would have been both ears as that was the custom of the tribes.
As for having problem when shooting a rifle only if ya wear long dangly type
ear rings would this be a b problem. As for this being something that would
be done by many trappers I dout it. For in none of Miller's pictures does he
shows no trappers with ear rings and I have found no mention of them being
worn in any of the journals that I have read. Not saying it was not done but
it is not documented as far I know.
See on the trail

Subject: MtMan-List: The Great Buffalo Raffle
Hey was just checking a few sites and see that the buffalo raffle has had over 1200 hits on the counter, wonder how the raffle is doing, what's happening Randy. Are the odds of winning as good as before or has that chaged with new tickets ? Has to be still better than state LOTTO tickets and for sure more edible.
Watch the skyline when leaving and do come back.
