Mountainman boots
« on: July 17, 2015, 06:10:00 PM »
I've always admired Marian Anderson's print, "Saving powder" A mountainman who has a flintlock muzzleloader but he takes a turkey with a primitive bow, supposedly to save powder.

That print speaks to me, and I want to step right into his boots....except I have never had a pair of boots like that. I've got all of the other paraphernalia, weapons, buckskins, fur hats and frocks, but I didn't have the boots....

Until now. I had to wait 12 weeks after I ordered this pair of Dyer 8 eye boot moccasins. Buffalo hide, fleece lined. Them bucks will never hear me comin this fall.     :archer:

A guy as tough looking as that probably shot the turkey with longbow and smoked the gun powder in his pipe.  Those are really good looking boots.  Look like a deadly pair for still hunting.

haha that makes Jeremiah Johnson look like a city slicker.  Skin that one pilgrim and I'll bring ya another.

There was once a rugged man who smoked manure.
Every shot from his longbow seemed to be pure.
He hailed from a Haven known as shrew for sure.
Rattle snake venom was his favorite headache cure and he used to catch fish using his finger for a lure.

Marian did a mountainman series of prints for the National Wild Turkey Federation. This is the one she did of me in 1994, titled The Longhunter. I had all the paraphernalia, birch bark canoe, elkskin frock, leggings, breech clout, osage bow and otter quiver.

   

This is what she wrote in the cutout of my personal print

I have had some Dyers for many years (not the fancy high tops though) and they are great mocs, but they are a bit spendy. You get what you pay for, I suppose.

I always tried to get me one of those prints at the NWTF banquets but the bidding got too high for my little pay check. I do have a Shrew though.
