Fun fact, the primary use for all those buffalo hides was actually to make the leather dive belts for industrial machinery.
Abd get rid of our proud plains indian brothers
I have a buffalo straight razor strop.Unfortunately it’s a little nicked from my not yet polished skull but it’s still definitely functioning.
Your right it coincided with the rising industrial age .
Fun fact the majority of those white dudes was hired by the government to kill all those bison to run out the Indians
Thanks santee for great historical video I’m just a kid but I love the old west
Well thanks for watching and feel free to ask any questions.
i am a kid too. but i love old school.
i love:
the age of sail (i know a hecka lot about it)
the old west
michael jackson
freddie mercury
Diego armando Maradona
the mongol empire and such
Cleaning my gun with the safety off safety off. hahahaha
The sad part is how many people do that 🤪🤓🤡
Love that episode.
If you're cleaning it it shouldn't be loaded and to my knowledge those old lever guns didn't have safetys.
Got to take exception to ‘they only hunted what they needed’ Indians would run herds off cliffs killing far more at a time then could be processed. Warrior ‘clubs’ would often pledge and kill for ‘one hundred buffalo tongues’ for ceremonies like the sun dance. Leaving most of the meat to rot. In most tribes a newlywed couple would go off for a bit of a honey moon. The new husband only killing what the couple would eat that night. War parties often killed and left much meat on the ground, as they were moving fast and had no time to process more then a meal or two.
Yes, and I should have been more specific. Once horses were implemented (the era we are talking about), hunting changed. "A good horseman could easily lance or shoot enough bison to keep his tribe and family fed"
Yeah, it's more along the lines of, "they killed what their technology allowed." When they did kill dozens, or hundreds, at a time they took the choicest cuts and left the rest to rot. Apparently they were just like humans everywhere.
@@Kalroy Right. Seems every culture has their shameful eras.
Fair enough, but here is some food for thought.
In early 1800s there are estimated to have been millions of buffalo roaming the plains. By the 1890s, there were only a few hundred left on the brink of extinction. It wasn't the Plains tribes who did that.
Maii Degeese plains tribes contributed too.Almost half the robes taken during the great hunt of the 1870s was from Indian tribes, many were also taken by the Mettis.
Then historically we see the extinction of the longhorn buffalo, woolly and Colombian mammoth ground sloth short faced bear American horses and American camel all within a thousand years of the invention of the Clovis point
It's so cool to find a channel like that, when you play rdr2
Yes...another rdr2 vid this coming saturday
Can you do a video on camping in the old west
Yes!
Well they didn’t have campers or air beds lol cooked over a fire not a gas stove or gas grill
Yes good idea
Robbert Kööp we need more money
@Joe Mama usually im the one doing the ambushing.
I stumbled upon your channel recently (the past couple of weeks or so-and no worries, it didn't hurt) and as such, recent subscriber. Just wanted to say I always enjoy the facts and joke combination. Very enjoyable and entertaining
Well, thank you much!
I can't believe I won
Yeeehaw!
negative reaper congrats!!!
Santee, could you do an episode on just the ammunition of the old west?Pistol, Rifle, and Shotgun? I'm studying to become a firearms historian, and I love your channel, and have always had a love for old west firearms. However nobody seems to talk about the ammunition, and the specific calibers purpose or usefulness. I learned more different big bore calibers in that 10 second segment than I could anywhere else! Love your content!
Thanks, Zack
Sure, Zack. I would also go to a local museum and see if they have a display of old bullets. I've seen a couple in museums and they are really pretty cool. You see calibers you never thought existed!
this channel is all I've ever needed and I cannot express how useful this information is for almost all the creative work I do
Terrific to hear!
I love this channel it's very good for learning history in the western period
Thank you!
When you showed the picture of the man standing on the big pile of bison bones it reminded me of a story my grandpa told me about how a one of his family members lived on a farm. All over his land and the nearby land were old animal bones and one day a man came and told the all the people who lived on farms in the area to pile up all the bones and that the man would come back in a week to purchase them to turn them into glue. They did that but the man never came back and so to this day there are giant piles of animal bones all over that land.
Great story.
The standard Army cartridges of the era was the 45-70 adopted 8n 1873. A 45/100 of an inch bullet pushed by 70 grains of gunpowder. The cartridge is still popular for hunting!
It is. I know a lot of folks who reload it.
Cool. I'll try hunting my sock first. Then i'll be a pro hunter.
"Hey there trail, we'll see ya on down the folk"
That's what I say when I have too much whiskey
@@ArizonaGhostriders no, that's the real way to say it.
@@testname4464 Hey, whatever floats your boat!
Turning out to be my favourite little show to watch here on the tube,
Thanks!
I just found this chanell awhile ago and I love it
Glad to hear it! Welcome.
Why doesn’t this channel have more subs? Honestly it’s crazy
It's got to hit critical mass any day now. Then it'll grow to a couple million subs fast.
@@KowboyUSA Well, I don't know about that, but thanks for the good vibes!
It's 3 in the morning and im binge watching your videos.
No regrets
Thanks!
Thanks Santee, another excellent old west history video.
Thanks!
Ahhh...ya finally got a chance to use Homer, didnt ya?
I was channeling you because we used to laugh about that scene.
So happy I found this channel, reminds me of watching wild west tech growing up. Great stuff!
Loved that.
Sorry missed this one! This is really a cool video my friend. Thanks for the share. So informative, especially even talking about the caliber of the bullets in the hunt! Awesome video my friend!
Seems like your skeleton was hiding in the loft of someone's cabin.
Liked the video Santee & Gang. Keep on ridin'.
Thanks.
I hunt Swedish moose with 45-70 govt, love that caliber ;)
Woooweee, me too. I mean, .45-70. Shot it a lot and it is a honey of a round. Shot a .45-90. Hurt more!
Congrats to the winner of the giveaway!
I love the blooper...those are always fun to watch :D
Thank you, Sandra!
Where can we source a similar pocket compass if we want to?
Great question. Not sure, since it's the only one I've seen. Maybe eBay?
Dang, eh I'll win the raffle next time
I'll bribe bill to rig it, don't tell Santee.
HAHA!
Talk about the fancy life in the old west
Santee, shooting buffalo reminded me of when I was at the fort portraying 1816' there was a "Trapper" with a 50 caliber rife. He said you could down a bear with it. (the stock looked like couple of 2×6 oak boards glued together about 4 feet long, with very little shaping done on it just so you could hold and shoot it.) Forget shooting it, you could have hit the bear in the head with it and killed it. We didn't know how he could even carry the thing! 😱
( I really appreciate all the videos! )
That is a really big gun (sorry for the delayed response)!
Loved that cameo by Batjack! A confirmed sighting. He does exist.
Yes! We finally were able to get together and filmed a bunch of stuff for the future.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Batjack always seems happier when he gets to create with you and Dirty Dan. You know how these artistic folks are...
@@LionquestFitness Yeah...tempermental and...wait, I"m one of those folks!
And people think hunting in Red Dead Redemption 2 is hard. Can you imagine having to depend on a gun-often times loaded with bullets you made yourself-and your own tracking skills, patience, and resistance to the elements just to avoid starvation? There’s no doubt that our forebears were far tougher folk on average than we slouches today.
Yes, that's so true.
Could you do a video on jail cells in the West
Did one on prisons, but will do one on sheriff's office jails.
Sometimes the "jail cell" was being staked to the ground under a fresh cow hide so you couldn't move.
Did you know the buffalo is the state animal of Kansas? I learned that during all the work trips I took out there this year. Great video as always Santee!
I did not know that!
Another great video Santee it was right up my alley our gun Deer season just got done here in Wisconsin and it's still Bow & Crossbow season 👍😎🤠 I am a hunter so I must go now and get in the woods and be 1 with Nature 🦌🦖💥🤠 🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅
Awesome!!
Congratulations winner! Another great episode.
Thanks!
Another good one my friend.
Thanks!
8017 I want to one about slang terms for money . Like two bits a sawbuck a double eagles. I know some of these are but I think some of these others folks would be well entertain more about it from you. Thank you very much for all your work you put it these videos
Thanks!
I really like your mixture of skits with real history lessons
Thank You!
Awesome topic! Thanks for another great video!!!
You know, McDonald's had a VHS tape promo involving "Dances with Wolves"...and..."Don Juan DeMarco"?
★ How about a video on the difference between black powder & lead ammunition vs modern smokeless gunpowder/firearm ammo? ★
VHS tape promo, eh? Hmmm....
Sure, I'll put your request on the list, Drew!
Congratulations to the giveaway winner!👏👏👏👏 Have a great weekend Santee!!!
When Lewis & Clark made their exploration there was 2 massive buffalo herds, the North herd and the South herd. There was a lot of game, deer, elk, bear, fish and much more. However as the 19th century advance wild game became more scare. By 1890 the wild west was closed. Today we have little of our 19th century methods of life left. However in Alaska we still live somewhat like the 19th century, wild game is still on the table of several areas. The old days maybe gone but not forgotten.
Much appreciated.
Congrats to catd fff!
Haha bill not realizing he can escape at anytime.
Loved the video as always!
Thank you!
Couldn't help but notice the Bashas bag in the office scene. Classic Arizona
Shhhh....that's where the donuts are.
Well done Santee! Happy Sunday!👍👍👍👍😊😊😊😊😉😉😉😉💞💞💞💞👏👏👏👏Congratulations to the winner!!!🎉🎉🎉
Thanks! You have a happy Sunday too.
@@ArizonaGhostriders thanks Santee!!
Hey Batjac is back , say that 10 times faster😂 Great video guys!
Hey Santee,
Can you make a video about theatre & acting in the old west? I’m a double major in theatre & history in college and would love to learn a thing or two about Old West Thespians.
- The Saint John Kid.
Yes, I can. BTW, seems like a great double major!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thank you. I've always loved theatre since I was a kid and I was intrigued by the theatre scene of the American West after the scene in "Tombstone" when Billy Zane recites the Saint Crispian's Day Speech from Shakespeare's "Henry V" at the Bird Cage Theatre. Along with the scene in "My Darling Clementine" where a traveling actor performs one of Hamlet's soliloquies inside a saloon.
Hopefully for my senior project, I hope to create a stage adaptation of Wyatt Earp & the Tombstone Vendetta at my university. But for now, it's just wishful thinking.
@@Thespian821 Watch Ballad of Buster Scruggs on Netflix. There's a sequence you will appreciate.
I spent 15 years in the professional theater. The one thing I can pass on to you is: Auditions are the work; getting the job is the payoff.
Great info as usual! Congrats to triple F!
Welp shoots! To the winner goes the spoils, lucky son of a dog. I'll just take my horse and head for the next town down the trail. Perhaps my luck will be better there.
Get a bottle or rye to ease your pain.
Congrats to the winner. =)
Hey Santee, I just had a video idea. How does a video on musical instruments of the old west sound to you?
Yamato, I've got that in the list, as well as songs of the era. Thank you!
Hey santee, what are your thoughts on hateful 8 production design, and historical accuracy when it comes to wardrobe and language.
Well, I thought they did good. Nice to see a movie where the actors are in heavy winter clothing. Did you know that the guitar Russell breaks is actually an antique? Kurt didn't know the prop person hadn't switched it out.
Great and fun video as always. Congrats to the winner also.
I am a new subscriber and just want to tell you all what a fantastic production crew you have. I have been binge watching your channel all night. Your videos are extremely informative and extremely entertaining. You guys have some real acting ability and have some excellent writing as well. Hopefully I will get a chance to meet you AZ Ghostriders in the near future. I'm looking forward to more binge watching of your videos, you really have a great channel. Continued success and God bless.
Thank you so much, and sorry for the delayed response. Welcome to the channel.
@@ArizonaGhostriders
Thank you very much. 👍
Can you do one on meat preservation?
Yes.
Santee ya did it again. I finish Batjac and there ya are! Makes for a really nice way to start a Saturdy!
We did some more skits that will show up in the future. Thanks!
Gee, Mr. Peabody, I didn't know Buffalo Bill was a head hunter ! That's Head Hunter !!!
LOL!
2:31 they also used to hunt bears and other large game with heavy lead shotgun slugs. And, sometimes, spears.
Prince (or duke, I have troubles with projecting russian nobility titles) Andrey Shirinsky-Shikhmatov has designed both a hard hitting expanding slug and a bear spear with spring loaded additional blades.
Nice!
Oh by the way Santee, I'm doing a TH-cam western movie and was wondering if you could give me any advice, for details or any thing else that could help. Thank you! May your grass always be green and your waterhole never run dry singed by your bronco busten pal Jesse!!!! lol
I'd be happy to. These videos will help you be more accurate. If you have specific questions, you can message me at the Facebook link up above.
@@ArizonaGhostriders Thanks Santee!!
Arizona Ghostriders Hopefully, Rex wasn't hunted down along with the bison. Thumbs up.
I wonder if one of my rifles were used to hunt with back when they were made... maybe:)
Good video!
Perhaps.
My mom told me a story of my great grand father, He was a very proficient deer hunter, just as my moms father was and how I will be as well. He was out hunting deer one day and a lion came out and pounced at him and before the lion got to him he pulled out his rifle and shot it straight dead center in the head. He hauled it back home to butcher and eat. This was in Mexico if you’re wondering, so lions are there however I’m pretty sure they’re not native to there.
Great story!
Yeehaw! More Wild West Infotainment!! 🤠 Congratuations to CATD Triple F 👍
Dad, did they hunt...gulp...cats?
Yeah, buddy. But big ones. Not your folks.
I've seen mittens make from housecat fur...
Awesome channel Santee and Congrats to Cat!
Thanks!
I think a video on Pinkerton would be fantastic.
Me too. Think I'll put that on the list!
2:47 that ingen logo , fellow Jurassic park fans I see
Rd2 sparked my interest in the old west , great channel , earned yourself a new sub
Thanks!
Congratulations! Card 3F! Swat the bat!..lol 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
Literally looked up if this video was a thing yesterday, then you upload it the same day
Master of trickery, am I.
Santee.l own some old bear traps.how did they set them? Men were smaller in the old west.just wanna share the question.thanks
Well, you wonder why there were so many one-armed trappers? HA! Just kidding. I think.
I've only seen them use some sort of tool that releases the tension on the spring system. I'll have to look more into it.
Can't lock up a ghost. Might want to tell that to all the ghosts that can't seem to leave. :)
They don't know they're dead?
@@ArizonaGhostriders I'll accept that answer. :)
"but a ghooost can't haunt a ghooooooost"
I love how you spin your comedy in style into your videos it's always great to watch one take care - Devin
Thanks!
Dunno about out west, but out east, once natives were able to sell their goods like pelts, they pretty much outstripped the ability to replace.
It's normal to only take what you need when there's no real commerce. We're more alike than different.
A lot of people still love large calibers for hunting. The new gimmick is faster flatter bullets, but they cause a lot of meat damage. A big no king slow bullet just puts a nice big hole. The problem is people don't want to learn ballistics and how to shoot.
Thanks for the comment.
Can you do a video on old west territories
Sure!
Nailed it again Santee.
Thanks!
O what a bummer. Congrats to the winner!
Next time!
Great video just stumbled upon your channel LOL. Thanks for sharing this video.
That was really a breakout video
Another awesome video. I really enjoy your channel.
Thanks, I love your interest in history!
Another great episode! I have some filming to do myself!
Small Caliber Arms Review thank you! Film well!
Congratulations to the winner an another awesome video Sir.
Have u looked into E CLAMPUS VITUS yet? I'd bet that its right up ur alley man.
Did look into it. Fascinating!
@@ArizonaGhostriders Drunk and very disorderly is another way of putting it but fascinating works too man.
Good job cat!!
Congratulations catd! Also BatJack is alive! Where the heck has he been?
Great video, Santee 😊
Rex was definitely not happy about it when you said that T-Rex's could be hunted too 🏃🏻♂️🦖
Btw. Have you seen the fairly recent episodes of BuzzFeed UNSOLVED SUPERNATURAL? There were an episode about an old haunted prison in Yuma and an episode about Tombstone!
No, I'll look into it!
The whole gang back together...awesome!!! ha ha ha ha… and my favorite scene from Road Trip ( uh, these have powdered sugar on them and I asked for no sugar ) :-) And who doesn't LOVE a 45-70 !! Thanks Cheese !
Good catch on Road Trip, Joe!
Hey Santee, can you do a video on Gun Safety in The Old West?
Did one on what we do ...just to get you started until I make another one. th-cam.com/video/q3pUgNFQpZs/w-d-xo.html
Actually, Natives using bows and spears to kill buffalo is only somewhat true. Yes, some did do this, but a number of tribes realized that hunting buffalo the traditional way was very difficult and time consuming, and in that period, they could've probably killed a deer each, or taken on a couple bears, keep in mind they didn't have horses. So, what they did was they herded a bunch of buffalo over a cliff, and let gravity do the hard work, then they would come to the now bloody pile of buffalo carcasses and harvest them. This worked so well, tribes who did this often had surplus of meat, and began engaging in trade with other tribes.
Yes, that was early on. During the era we're talking about it appears they stopped that practice.
Imagine hunting large predators back then you better hope that percussion cap isnt a dud
Especially if it's coming right at ya!
Great vid bro sir. Thumb up
Awesome video as always we are here showing our love and to smash your likeee button
Thanks!
This is the best channel on TH-cam
Gosh, thanks. Much appreciated.
Congrats to the winner!
Great show, I loved it except the part about starving the Indians. I had no idea that jag off did that. By now there would be a S£}+ Load of Buffalo if there was a one Buffalo per family limit.
Yeah, sorry about the bad news. We done some evil stuff.
Hey Santee can you do one on belt buckles and them being a status symbol (I.E where you could find what buckles and what they meant).
Or maybe one on gun care in the old west.
What are you looking for? I'm just the suggestor
Both. Doing one on gun maintenance this coming Saturday.
I know it's late, but, I gotta know cause my own research hasn't produced much luck. How common was bow hunting in the old west. Obviously firearms had pretty much phased out the bow and arrow but there still had to have been some use in hunting. By natives or even settlers? My buddies bow hunt so the practice obviously hasn't gone away, so there had to be some usage of it.
Definitely used by Native Americans. Not sure how many others did.
Well if we still had millions of buffalo roaming the wheat fields of the Great Planes bread would be quite scarce.
Good point!
An oldie (1 yr) but a goodie.
HA!
I think you need a proton pack and a containment unit to hold Bill. ;)
I think so too!
