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.

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.

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.
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

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.
