    18th century woodland native american dogs

    To All, Fwiw, I heard at lunch today that the owner of the LA Leopard ***** has accepted deposits from 12 people for a pup as of Saturday, IF there are that many born. = So if you needed/wanted a Leopard pup, you are out of luck. Her largest litter(3 years ago) was 9 pups, so likely some...

    18th century woodland native american dogs

    To All, By chance, I heard today that a local hog-hunter has just had his LA leopard ***** bred by an about 80# stud-dog that is locally well-known as very "game" & a "holy terror in a fight with wild hogs". IF you happen to have a real NEED for a pup, that will likely grow into a...

    Carbon6; All, Inasmuch as I was responding to your overly intrusive personal questions about my "somewhat odd" extended family, WHY do you believe that you NOW get to complain about the answers being "off topic" & not having anything to do with A-I dogs?? IF you don't want to hear the...

    Zonie, When our family "trickled into Texas-Coahuila", starting with a young newlywed couple in 1822, the "newcomers", who were A-I, "allied with" the Apaches for protection from the hated Comanches. (Fyi, my late wife, Vickie Kay C__________, was of Norman French & Lipan Apache blood. -...

    18th century woodland native american dogs

    Actually, I for a VERY long time thought that we were Cherokee BUT it appears that the reason for that mistake was that my grandmother was born on the Cherokee Reservation in NC in 1887, attended/graduated from The Oklahoma Female Seminary for Cherokee Indian Girls, her college transcript says...

    18th century woodland native american dogs

    NW Territory Woodsman, I'm only a "part-blood" & a member of the PAMUNKEY NATION. - Our tribe has very few (or perhaps NO) "full-bloods left alive, as our people intermarried with the Europeans in early the 17th Century at Jamestown, VA & in other nearby coastal areas. (One of the...

    Canadian Bacon

    Canadian Bacon is an oxymoron like "military intelligence" & "IRS help", as it's neither Canadian NOR bacon. Nonetheless, it's tasty. yours, satx

    Is the Brown Bess good for hunting?

    shot deer, At the range that game, both large & small, is taken in the South Texas brush country, I can think of NO muzzleloader that would be BETTER than a Bess. (Where I hunt, you cannot SEE a deer more than 40-50M & often no more than 25M.) IF the Bess was more common in South Texas, I...

    vintage american large bore fowler

    To All, Speaking of LARGE-BORE, shoulder-fired ML "smoothies", about a decade ago (and perhaps NOW, though I've not been in DC in several years) The Smithsonian's "1896 exhibit" had a single-barrel shotgun with about a 1.25 inch bore. I asked a staff-member about it & was told that it was NOT...
