His mother read an article in the hospital, shortly after giving birth, about a horse racer named Sunny Jim Fitzsimmons and decided to call her son "Sunny Jim" Orr, a name he would be known by for life. Sunny Jim grew up around horses and was lassoing them at an early age. At the age of 21 he began a rodeo career in tie-down roping. In 1958 his p...

Buffalo Bob - Respect My Space!

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.

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
Переглядів 2765 років тому
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.
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
Hi
Respect and a Salute.
That’s a good man right there folks. Y’all seeing how hard we had it back then. Be proud of what you have and stop being so got dang greedy. Be thankful and work for what you get!!!
The cowboys originated in México and stole for gringos
LEGEND 🤠
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
Thanks for your service boots u make this ol country boy proud to be an American I wish I could ride horses and Chase cows all day would be like a real l8fe dream come true you guys can't get any closer to God then that thanks for sharin
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.
Walter Merrick, old, old friend, great horseman...race horses

Something the Americans learned and adopted from the Mexican vaqueros

All I can say is a legendary cowboy
Definitely a national treasure. Thank you for sharing this video of his first hand account of ranch life/ cowboy way. ❤
Last of the real cowboy right there living legend 🙏🐐🙏
I'm wondering if anyone is getting recorded "stories, memories" from Boots, we have to remember the histories...❤❤🎉😂😢😅😊
What a moving video to hear his stories and imagine what that life was like...and then come back to the reality of where we are today...life seems to have been so much more meaningful with deeper connections without the technology of today.
The only way is the Cowboy way of life ranching ❤
This is all nice and neat but with the way this country is headed. T
This man is a real legend. With all best wishes from the UK
Thank you for this video
Boots is still out there cowboying on the 6666 ranch today in March 2023. In his 90s.
Amazing man.
God Bless Boots!
I found your video or the algorithm found me but thanks again excellent and interesting Stories
He's a mighty man and army hero
I remember the long forgotten rivalry between Boots and his lesser known and more eccentric cohorts, Ushanka Boris and Finger socks McGee. They were inseparable until they crossed paths with that young lady, Chamber pot Cheryl, back in 43'.
Been by that ranch many, many times
I tip my hat off to you good sir
Cant hear it over the music.
This is a real man . We need more cowboys
Member of the devil's legion. 666
He quits he will die!!!
Someone needs to record this guy for at least a year the stories you would hear, that man is a treasure of knowledge

What an incredible man.
Thank You, Boots, for ALL your years of hard work and service to this country. I say service to this country because without cowboys like you this country would not have been feed. Thanks to the people who made this video to show what “real men” are like( hard working dedicated men). You have preserved this man and this country’s history.
Americana at it's finest...love all ya'll REAL cowboys xx
What a cool old boy
anyone know what this music is in the background?
Evil men of power don’t want this kind of man to exist. They are smart but weak men. And they don’t want strong men of character to exist. Because those men of character are a threat to their greed and deviance.
Stories like this are best heard around a camp fire with coffee. God bless 🙏 🇺🇲
best hat maker ever i have two of his hats,, i wear them everyday.
What a great story to hear at 6am with my coffee before work. Boots! I would have loved to have spent some time with ya on the job. Would have been a learning experience most definitely
We can all learn from Boots’ wisdom and commitment to his craft. What a great video!
When the men were men and the women were proud!
