Walt, I think with the way we are raised today, what we eat and how many different animals are looked at as pets and not food as they where once considered, eating dog has become a "mind-set" that makes you act differently than what our forefathers did.
In the L&C journals it's mentioned several times of the men doing better on dog than on some game meats, like deer and elk for long periods. Clark talks about trading for dogs for lean periods to help with their diet.
What Concho said was a new experience for me, eating dog - most enjoyed watching me choke down that meal.

There are more cats , including mountain lions, in unlikely places than many people realize. For instance....about 3 years ago a friend of mine shot a 130 lb mountain lion from his deer stand in Bosque (bos-key) County, Texas, which is the county across the Brazos River from my county, which borders Tarrant County...Ft Worth. A mountain lion was spotted repeatedly in Tarrant County this fall. In fact, it ate a couple of dogs and had people afraid to let their kids play in the yard. This cat was widely presumed to be an escaped or freed pet and was never captured. About 5 years ago (before I moved here) another lion was captured on the very street where I live only about four blocks from my house and was also presumed to be somebody's pet. The neighbors said they couldn't kick their dogs outside. The whined and groveled every night.
Years ago (10), when living in northern Colorado we would see a mountain lion several time throughout the year on the farm. I understand now they have moved to town and have become a problem feeding on the pets.
This past year where I live now we have seen two lions in our back yard, acre lots at the edge of the foothills over looking Denver. One was trying to catch a red fox that was passing through. The more ground that is put into housing areas the more the problem will continue.

Subject: MtMan-List: hats
The explanation by Dick Summers of how beaver hats were made was quite
interesting.
However, I have always heard that mercury was used somewhere in the
process. That is where the phrase "mad as a hatter" came from. The fumes are
dangerous stuff.
Anybody know what part mercury played in the making of hats?
