I have to laugh when I'm turning channels on TV and see crap on those reality shows. They had one on Mountain Men where the dude spends prob. four hours putting up a rubbed, green belly tainted coyote and spends another two hours stripping a $2 skull. Next week I'm sure they'll show him in a buffalo robe, snow shoeing to town with the hair-slipped tainted coyote to buy a 16 inch Bowie knife and a box of cartridges for his 38-55.

Mountain Men is one of my favorite outdoor reality shows. I get a kick out of Tom Orr. He takes and salvages those rubbed,green belly POS and turns them into a pair of mitts or a cap that gets him a couple of hundred bucks. The rest of the pelt gets scrapped. The man's an expert at making a silk purse from a sow's ear.
