Gator Huntin' Boots!

[COWBOYSURVIVAL]

An old man sold me these today...said he "wore'em once and went in a rancher's bull pasture and straightened the horns on the bulls" I was sold, figure they'll be good for gator huntin'!

Nice, I've never seen a pair with the hair on the leather, very cool. Now you just need a set of cow hide chaps to match!

Okay....There are several things we need to talk about here. 1). Nice boots. 2) Salesmen...sell. That's what they do. You can't believe everything they tell you. There are only a few of us that can actually be believed when it comes to bull. 3). Gator hunting. Really? I think everyone at the University of Florida will like the boots as well. Just choose gators that are "of age" if you know what I mean.

Wow, CS, did you lose a bet with the old man?

Hahaha

I am not too fond of the white fur...took them for a walk to feed the horses this evening and the grass seeds looked like fleas' in the white hair. I am thinking of dying the hair to a oxblood brown color. 60 bucks for 200 plus boots...very unique, just like me.

Ya'll missed the gator huntin' joke. Gators love a good "Walker" dog...They resemble one.

Poor baby spotted fur seal.

Didn't know they made them for men, too.
Cute!

Now that right there is funny. I don't care who you are.

[TheWaywardOne]

Definitely unique, I've never seen a catahoula turned into boots before. Still, all jokes aside, $60 for a pair of $200 boots is a good deal, good job on the buy.

LOL, LOL......(cute...choke, sputter..cute)

Still a good deal, and yeah, missed that walker hunting dog reference, was thinking more like Saturday nite specials......

I just picked up a Stetson, at a sale.... for $18 bucks, like new, beaver felt..............always wanted a Stetson.

[Rick]

My grandfather always wore a Stetson. Every time I mention getting one my wife gives me a look with her head tilted and her hands on her hips. I don't know what that means but it sure don't look good.

[Old GI]

C'mon Rick; you know what that means!

[Rick]

Nope. And I don't ask. If it looks bad I go with that. If it looks good I go with bad, too. I get in a lot less trouble that way.

I never been called cute before!

Count yourself called.

I have always been anti-cowboy boots. Maybe it is from being in High School in San Antonio with all the kickers who thought they were real, but most never rode a horse in their lives. So anyways, a couple years ago, I went to my grandpas house a couple days after he died. My dad takes me into his bedroom to show all the clothes they are trying to clean out of the closet. There were a couple Sunday suits that fit me perfect (height, waist, etc.) that I take and then I see he has a fairly new pair of cowboy boots. I figure I will try them on, and when they don't fit, I can pass on them. Well, they fit perfect. It was like they were custom made for my feet. They don't fit my dad, my uncle, or my brothers. I have always had very odd shaped feet and have trouble finding shoes that fit. When I tried on the boots, I learned where I got them from. I wear the boots every so often. Mostly to church as a dress boot. They aren't real dressy, but they are real clean and simple. They are very comfortable. I still won't pay money for a pair of cowboy boots, but I will wear these. They remind me of grandpa. Sorry for the long story. Your boots sorta reminded me of my grandpas.

I got it honest too..Dad has 14+ horses in Tijera Mnts. NM. I spent alot of time in San Antonio the doctors there saved my sisters life! Yeah, you gotta be able to back it up if your gonna wear a buckle with a bull on it. I don't like the show and glow cowboy's myself. Each time I pick up a foot on my trusty stead I fully realize he can break something real quick...I do a gut check.. It is all worth it when I ride him through a dark hollow at night and can't see my hand in front of my face but have no doubt he has all the light he needs and brings me out the other side...An awesome experience.

I always thought the cowboy boots had pointer toes then those, but then again what do I know.....?

The pointed toes are to help you get your foot in the stirrup or get'em out. The heels are to keep you from getting hung in the stirrups which Dad did and got a concuscion team pinning at the rodeo. Fact is alot of work on the horse farm requires something a little more nimble than pointed toes and high heels. These are work boots. I can ride in them because I have extra wide custom stirrups because I work more than I play. Another point I'd like to make is a "real" cowboys horse would be a pony by todays standards. My 16 hand Qtr. Horse is a lot of horse...Why did they ride ponies? Well because they fit between the tree's.

Sorry hunter, it is just me painting with a wide brush. Something I am learning to not do so much. I am almost certain you know more about it than I.

And you know why indians rode appaloosas right, cause they were the only ones they could run, catch up with, and catch (ba-doo-ba-du)....
