Subject: MtMan-List: buffalo hides

I have three back halves of buffalo, short hair, but not slicked off as in
summer robes. Some rub spots. Each measure about 6" x 3". These would be
great for cut ups. bags, moccasins, etc. Want $175.00 each.

a while back someone on the list posted an address for a smokehouse in

time to print it again; lost my addresses long ago while viewing the dreaded
'blue screen of death' (bet bill gates never sees it!!!. <ggg>

as far a a good drinkin' recipe, here's one thats a little pricy, but worth

Subject: MtMan-List: buffalo hides

Sorry about the measurements, they are 6 feet by 3 feet approx. I can give
detailed information about each one if you want. Each hide is chrome/alum
tanned and very supple. Again, these are back halves and have short hair. I
just have too many than I can use. Never thought I would say that 20 years
ago when I first started buckskinning. Anyway, I will personally guarentee
each of them. If they are not what you expected, just return them for a
refund. I will have full hides later that are good for camping. Of course,
we have some really nice winter robes also. Each robe has lifetime cleaning
and reconditioning, that's the robes lifetime for you "old" folks.
Thanks
Joe
You know I have a pile of elk and deer hair on hides I would like to get
rid of. Used for film backgrounds and camping, these are OK for tipi floor
rugs. Just put the hair side down to repel moisture. These have rub spots
and loose hair, therefore won't sell in our store. Have a lot of them. Deer
run $25 -$35, elk are $65 to $95.

We except good checks, visa, M/C or Discovery

Ok, I decided to measure the three back halves. Wow, they are bigger than I
thought.
        #1 is 27 sq ft. that's 7' x 3.75'

        #2 is 28 sq ft. 7' x 4

        #3 is 25 sq ft. 6' x 4.25

Price is the same $175 each

sorry for that bogus post: heres the recipe, and its a dandy.....
                        WOLF'S BREATH
                1 - 5TH OF SEAGRAMS V.O.
                1 - 5TH OF YUKON JACK
                1 - SMALL GRAND MARNIER
                1/2 GALLON APPLE CIDER
                3 - CINNAMON STICKS
Mix all ingredients in a gallon jug and allow to steep for as many days as
you have time.  The longer it sits, the better it gets. This recipe came from
Tony MacLane, 'The Man Who Dances With Wood', which may account for how he
got the name... <ggggggg>  Enjoy, Barn.

Excelent salt cured bacon.  Will keep unrefrigirated & needs to be soaked
before using to remove some of the salt.  Also have excelent hams -- good as
Grandad used to make back on the farm.  Prices are not out of line either.

I have two sources but will push you toward the following give both of
them a call and see if they have what you want.

BEST SOURCE AND QUALITY:

Karl Wilborn
5073 Townsley Rd.
Cederville, ohio 45314
phone number is 1-513-766-5415

second source is
the K. Company
123B lebby street
pelzer S.C. 29669
Phone number is  1-864-947-2788

thats the best i can do---Karl has kits with plugs and raw horns---and
horn supplies---good people you normally see him at friendship ever
year---has flat and formed horns---tell him what you want and that is
what you will get--if he doesnt have it he will tell you so---

There is a place in Laredo, Texas that gets them out of Mexico, very
inexpensive.  I will see if I can find their catalog.  I have it somewhere.
In the interim, you may contact the Chamber of Commerce, in Laredo and
possibly come up with their name.

John, I'm not sure who your post was directed at, but feel it was in response
to my post with the Wolf's Breath recipe.  Given that Tony and I were best
friends/brothers for 25 years before his untimely death, I can assure you his
enjoyment (sometimes over-enjoyment) of the spirits started well (about 45
years) before his bout with cancer.  In addition to spending almost every day
with him after he got sick, prior to that,  I'd seen him dance with the
desert, dance with the water and after he started buxkskinning, dance with
wood. Now I know every day he's dancing with the Lord.  YHS,  Ralph (Barney
Fife) Rosen

I sell steer, gemsbok, waterbuffalo, kudu, etc horns.  Let me know what
length you would like and I will get you a price.  Pricing ranges for steer
horns from $5.00 a pair to $125.00 a pair for the really large ones.  I
garauntee the horns that means if you get them and don't like them then send
them back and I will refund your money.  I have yet to do this since
everyone has been satisfied.  visit my info site at

Good Luck

And if anyone believes all that, I've got a trade gun to sell. It's going at
the standard rate for guns: pile up the furs until you reach the top of the

Subject: MtMan-List: Jockey caps & Rogers Rangers

I am researching the dress of Canadian voyageurs c. 1774-1821. One of the
items of clothing that shows up on fur trade inventory lists is 'jockey
caps', but I have nothing more than a guess as to what these caps looked
like (i.e. like modern jockey's caps, which are shaped like baseball caps).
On the web, I've found statements that Rogers Rangers wore jockey caps, but
no descriptions of them. One web site noted that they were originally cut
down from tricorns.

Can anyone help me with a reliable description of the jockey caps worn by
Rogers Rangers?

Tom,

Where are you that you don't have walnut trees growing somewhere nearby? Most of
the people that have walnut trees in their yards, were more than happy to have
me come by and pick as many as I wanted for free off of the ground...

However, if you need some right away, you might try:
Allegro Natural Dyes
P.O. Box 7247
Boulder, Co 80306
[phone]

Or try a WWW search for "Natural Dye", or "Dye Stuff"

Good luck,
