Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Yakina Curnutt

A good character actor.

Are you taking pictures of the TV screen and then using it to start a thread about who you are watching? That is genius sir.

Cut, and paste does not work for me.

His voice kept him for leading rolls.
He invented many tricks that made the stunts safer.

I like Billy Drago

I don't know why they didn't just name him "Yakima" like the Indian tribe.

I think that story is that he hung out with folks from that town.

You mean Yakina Washington?

Yes/

John Wayne’s stuntman. Yakima Canutt

A tough fellow.

Moth Balls. Anyone still use them? Sorry in advance for the hijack

I think someone is putting them in their coffee.

He was also a Champion Rodeo Rider.

According to Elmer Keith, whom stated in his book that he did some rodeo riding against him, he also moved on from acting/stunt riding work to become a second unit director on quite a few films.


Frog---OUT!

Or an enema

More effective than naval lynt. Just that.

One of the interesting things about the Internet, and perhaps even more so on the Campfire, is how people misspell so many names--often those of people they're fans of. Probably 1/4 to 1/3 spell Jack O'Connor's last name O'Conner, even though they claim to own a bunch of his books. It would be relatively easy to look at their covers, but apparently that's too much work.

Now, neither Yakima Canutt's names is as common as Jack or O'Connor, but it would be pretty easy to Google it. In fact I just Googled Yakina Curnutt, and two things immediately popped up--first this thread, and then "Do you mean: Yakima Canutt?"

Only in the gas tank.

Has anyone ever successfully castrated a moth?

Yakima Canutt.

Read something on him decades ago where he was holding his favourite rifle, a pre-'64 model 70 in .375 H&H.

I have perused quite a few of Wabi's posts.

I have yet to discern whether he is engaging in what might be styled as "eye dialect" or heterography in order to gain attention, or whether he is just out to lunch?

Quien Sabe,


GWB

it's a looong lunch.....

This thread's about yakina curnutt. Please don't derail it.

His wife Kitty has hot in her day.

I am a poor speller.

The Yakama Indians changed a letter.

How’s the cows, Richard?

Also to add….

Yak Canutt was a bad azz.

Doing well in the mud.

Do remember where your read that? Am not doing very much gun writing anymore, but do have an assignment on the pre-'64 .375....

Dude was a real deal cowboy and the head of a family of stuntmen . Was not a guy to double cross as those who did were never seen again .

He was a busy man if you look at his credits…

Most likely a G&A special publication from the 70's. They out a few back then. Will see if I can find it.
John

Has Wabi ever spelled a name correctly?

One of the most dangerous stunts done in Hollywood. Ben Hur probably was worse where it was more likely to hurt someone in filming. Yakima Cannut was the stunt coordinator in that movie too…
