Subject: MtMan-List: Wooden Chair
Dear List,
I found a nice 2öx12öx12' floating down the Missouri last spring
while trapping and let me tell you, they can get pretty heavy when water
soaked. Anyway I am going to make a slotted wooden chair for myself out of
it to leave at Fort Union for my yearly visits. Can someone that owns a
nicely proportioned one tell me what the measurements are. I donÆt want to
experiment nor do I have enough wood to have a mistake.
All I need is the distance from the ground to the bottom of the
slot on the backboard, the length of the section that extends through the
backrest to the ground and the width of the slot (half of the board?) I
would imagine the height of the backrest is the least crucial measurement.
It can also be fairly high too as I don't think I can get two chairs out
of 12 feet.
I took some measurements at a rendezvous once but have no idea what
I did with them. The snow is flying today and all the rivers are frozen
solid so it's a good time to get it done.
The chair will be in the north east bastion after June, use it
anytime IÆm not there.

Subject: MtMan-List: Otter skin stank
How do you trappers and skinners get rid of the fishy smell from otter and beaver skins? Yupper, just a little green when it comes to these critters.
This is the otter that I picked up last Feb. in S.GA, 60" 40lb rascal. I stretched and fleshed out the skin then worked it soft but stiff enough to use it as possible bag or quiver skin.
Dick James, if you're out there. Hi, haven't talked to you in awhile. Hope all it well.

Subject: MtMan-List: David Thompson Shoot
Hello the list,
For any of you close to Montana here's a shoot I've been involved with for
the last 15 years. It's not a true Rendzvous, but we do have a primitive
area, no paper targets. Everything goes bang, clang or boom. In addition
there's some points for stuff like trap settin, rock throwin, spear chuckin
and maybe a devious egg perdicament once in a while. Anyhow, please note
entry fee is all inclusive, no blanket prize needed. You don't really even
need to bring food if you don't want, we have 4H kids nearby selling all
