มุมมอง 4.6K4 ปีที่แล้ว

Buffalo Bob - Respect My Space!
มุมมอง 7K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Bison in Yellowstone National park are everywhere but need their own personal space to avoid conflict. We humans like watching them but get too close from time to time and occasionally get hurt when we invade that place. Please keep your distance and watch them from a safe distance for everybody's sake.

มุมมอง 6426 ปีที่แล้ว
Every November The Nature Conservancy rounds up their heard, of over 2500, bison to do an overall medical check-up of the animals and sell off the surplus animals that their Tallgrass Prairie Preserve can't sustainably support. Overall the heard is doing very well and has become a positive influence to Osage County Oklahoma's economy.
Frisky Business
มุมมอง 2826 ปีที่แล้ว
On Colorado's Mt. Evans, Mountain Goat kids are getting frisky in the alpine terrain. Nearby Bighorn Sheep and Marmots are watching their neighbors. This video is part of an on-going series on my Embracing The West nature blog called "One Minute of Nature". These 1 minute clips are raw and only utilize the natural sound of the scene; In this case wind.
Thank you!
This was a childhood dream for me. Still lives in my heart today at 62. Instead I fulfilled my other dream, now a retired law enforcement officer. But I still daydream about living on a ranch. Hard workers, real men. And women that loved and worked hard with their cowboys. 86 and still loves being a working Cowboy.
You can bet that man eats ass.
Maybe they should have given it a thumbs down,huh?
Boy that was a tougher generation than the weaklings we produce today. God save America
Is there a book written on Mr Boots , does any know ?
Boots, Mr. Klapper, Buster Welch and a few other legends of the cowpuncher world were born and passed on to early.
Badasss! Legend!
as we say, 'Proper'.
❤👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 When men had character. The kind of man that my dad was and uncles were. The legacy they leave you and the character they teach you to have. God bless Boots
Hats off to this man!
he said i started school in '38 and i was like hold on....
I love this. ❤❤❤❤
That was totally wonderful. Listen to that, man. A true legend and a cowboy and still is best of the best.
These Ole Cowboys are disapearing. What a loss, this is living history pay attention it'll soon be gone. So sad.
Boots O’Neil one of the best cowboys on earth
I’ve always taken the time to listen to what an old boy might have to say, you might end up learning something pretty valuable or just flat entertaining. I’m 66 years young & never ever turn away from what an older guy might have to say.
u can't fix dis much ignurt
What do you mean by that ?
What a grand old gentleman; I hope he is doing well after the ranch sale
The older I get, the more I realize just how smart my pop was! This gent is a man’s man. I’m not a pimple on his rear end . God Bless.
Legends live forever and this legend is going to be in the hearts and souls of every cowboy out there.
That's where you are wrong
This is what being an American means !!!
Who's here in 2024, learning about Boots O'Neal?
Learning about him? Hell! I know him.
Who's gonna fill those shoes.....excuse me...those Boots".... They don't build those men anymore...folks!
A true cowboy, a legend in the life of ranching in Texas,Oklahoma, Kansas & New Mexico. Hats off to you Boots !!
He is incredible. To bad someone thought it was a good idea to add stupid ass music to drown him out.
Is he still alive?
Yes.
Who in the h__l would thumb down this wonderful gentleman??!😠What a gift elders are to each generation. We have much to learn from them.
Now that's a real cowboy, my hat's off to you
We're getting old boots.
Sadly, too true! Hate your type of life is nearly gone.🇺🇲❤️

Salt of the earth right here!

You got to love this man and love the video but if you would quit that violin music in the background and let this man's voice be the only thing heard the video would be so much better

I loved watching this. What a total gentleman.
Hear, hear, hare hair! Are there any real materials performance metrics showing that beaver is actually better? - -
It feels better to the touch, I think beaver felt on a hard rainy day will hold better, beaver felt can withstand more than rabbit felt

A True Legend. Right along with Buster Welch.
What a man.. a legend in my book. I will always have the deepest respect for guys like him.
Love this Ranch and drove by hundreds of times in my life. The 6666 Ranch was won in one hand of poker years ago. The winning hand….”6♠️6♥️6♣️6♦️”! Thus the name of the Ranch was born.
