Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire The South Texas Cowboys (like i ran with in high school)

That was Pon de Campo, camp bread, the guy took out of the Dutch oven. I fix it pretty often. Smear real butter on it while it’s still hot and it will hold you until the regular meal is done.

Cool ..

cool.

Note the hand made custom cell phone case on the right hip of the cowboy on the right. There is a lot of skill required in weaving such, or a hand fitted custom rawhide strip case for a folding knife.

You ever see one of those for a folding knife, Curdog? They aint cheap.

No mesquite thorns and no chaps needed in Florida.

Damn. All we have is surfers.

How often do horses suffer snake bites I wonder ?

If a horse got hammered in the leg by a big cottonmouth how long would the horse be down for ?

I dont know. Probably 3 days. About like a leg hit dog.

Curdog, have you had any horses hit? Were you ever on one that was hit?

Good videos.

Thanks Jaguartx I know those guys and related to some of them...My family has been there since the 1740's
very cool

Really....the 13 colonies were only partially settled in the 1740's

A cottonmouth ain’t in the same league with a rattlesnake in my opinion, and I’ve been bit by both.

A Neighbor of mine had a good cowhorse that was rattlesnake bit on two different occasions, both times in the jaw. His head swelled up some, just like a dog will, but there was no permanent damage.

Cows get snakebit all the time with not much I’ll effects and I don’t see why a horse would be much different. Their bodies are too far off the ground for a snake to hit and body bites are the worst kind for dogs.

What does that have to do with Lucio’s post.

Doc,

the Spainards first came to Texas beginning in 1519 and set up settlements throughout what is now Texas.

The French took over for five years in 1684 - 1689.

Spain took it back until 1821 when the Mexican Revolution occurred.

In 1836, Texas declared independence from Mexico and was its own country for ten years until joining the US.

Nice video, thanks for sharing Jag. I worked cattle some growing up and the smell of the branding still comes back to mind seeing that video.

I love South Texas.

Great videos.

But my religion don't permit me to eat parts of an animal what ain't dead yet

Wuss, I know....

Those guys can't be "Texas cowboys." They ain't totin' no sixguns.

L.W.

Most people don't realize that Texas was actually colonized before Georgia and had Spanish conquistadors running around two generations before the English ever dreamed of putting a Colony in Roanoke

I remember reading about those Florida cowboys in Range Magazine a few years ago. I remember it stated that that was where the term "cracker" originated from. Those cowboys cracking their whips.

So if anyone calls you a cracker, you can tell them what a real cracker is.

i can knock one of them out in a hour or so..i grew up in south texas on a ranch and learned from a ol man named luis who lived and worked with us , he taught me all kinda good stuff and his wife fed me well while i was growning up.

ive worked horseback my whole 44 years i been alive and them florida boys is a different breed for sure. when we was young and only thought about leaving the ranch, me and a buddy loaded up and went to clewiston florida to work for the seminole indian tribe on their ranch. never could get used to all the water
