A huge thank you should be sent out to his female boss - the lady who inherited the ranch - who showed her loyalty and appreciation to a man who dedicated over 30 years of his life to the ranch. She told him he would always have a home (and friends) on her ranch for as long as he lived. That’s the kind of person we would all like to work for and have as a friend. God bless Boots and her.

The men we have these days are the product of how they were raised and what life threw at them and tempered them to whatever metal they have in them and some have been heated and tempered all their lives so who the hell are you to judge anybody. Plenty of strong men work the seas if that's how they were raised, every bit as strong as some inlander. Plenty of loggers, plenty of builders, plenty of road builders, plenty of men of war, plenty of ones who try to train the next generation. Just because you watch some modern cow boy crap don't make you a damn thing.

[@tammiel3812]

Amen! Thank you for your words, Eoin! I’m 48 and was raised by my father and mother. My Daddy was 46 and my mom, 29 when I was born and they truly taught my twin and me the role of respecting your elders, listen and learn and find a true man that is hard working and honorable! God brought my husband and I together in the hospital in 2013, when my Daddy had a stroke and I drove across the state to get back to my Daddy. God answered both my husband’s prayer for a Godly wife and my 40th birthday prayer for a Godly man to walk beside me for the rest of my crippled life. We got married 3 months later and My Daddy passed away in 2015. I miss my Daddy every day, but he truly was my hero!

That's one type of man one can be. One can also be a doctor and save thousands of lives, or a mathematician and invent some important formulas, a scientist, a writer, a father or just a good soon taking care of his old mother. Manhood can be a many things, even if this type of man is a very appealing type to us fans of the old west. But other men doing great things far away from cattle and horses, and living different kind of lives are no less men than these men are, if they strive for their full potential in whatever field they work. Most above all, for me, manhood means "being there for others". And the larger you can draw the circle around you, the bigger man you are.

Thank you for posting the interview of this fine gentleman with his words of wisdom . Mister "Little" Boots managed to live the life many dream of and aspired towards. Ranch life is hard long and often lonely work. And he lived a lifetime of it. But it is a way of life and once one lives it, they can't imagine doing anything else. I had the fortune of growing growing up on a 1800 acre ranch near Prescott Arizona through the sixties. Up early to do an hour's worth of chores before school. After school was groom and jip line the horses. Or mend fences. It was hard work that had to be done. And my siblings and I enjoyed it immensely. That work ethic stuck. And we were always involved with horses and at times cattle. And I have been most of my life. I now Ranch in the Ozarks. Life here has sort of stood still. But urban sprawl has destroyed much of what Arizona used to be. Like the ranch I grew up on. It has become a subdivision, Shopping Center, and car sales lots. And now in my senior years I feel fortunate once again to be living the life on a large Ranch surrounded by other large ranches. I Can Only Imagine this fine gentleman feels the same, only a whole lot more! Would had loved to meet and work with him. The things I could have learned.

I know a man that fits this mold. His name is Tom. He is a hunting guide in the Bob Marshall Wilderness in Montana. I've been lucky enough to hunt with him six times over that last ten years. He is originally from North Carolina but carries very little southern drawl after more than 30 years out west. He is an expert with everything to do with horses, elk, deer, bears, etc.. Once, when hunting in cold November, I was helping him with the saddling chores and he handed me a bit and said put this up under my armpit to get it warm before putting in the horses mouth. For some reason that stuck with me. He is the nicest, kindest man, to both man and beast. Once, during a September hunt in the Bob, some Divide hikers were trickling through our camp during the week, due to a wild fire. One evening, while we were getting ready for dinner, sitting around, talking and such, a hiker came into camp to talk. He was wearing a utility kilt and I noticed Tom closing observing him. He leaned over to me and whispered under his breath, 'Hey, Jeff, That guy has a dress on...'

@Hello Tom how are you doing

[@jaywheeler8207]

That was a beautiful story told by the Cowboy who lived it. Thank everyone who put this beautiful video together. 🐴🐎🧲

Awesome video of a true legend. Good job!

[@DavidSmith-dm2sr]

Thank you, Boots was a true pleasure to work with!

My grandmother Esther Scurlock passed away in 2012. She is part of the Davis Family in Enid Oklahoma. She would tell many similar stories just like Boots. She knew about the Waggoner Ranch. Good video thank you very much.

We need more MEN like Boots! ❤️ treasure the legacy.

Am from England and can’t be further away from a cowboy lifestyle but found this very interesting. Am 57 now and brought up on westerns and love the old American way of life and mindset. I guess every generation will say it was better in my day but I find myself saying that now. How things change and not always for the better.

[@EmbracingTheWest]

Totally agree! I am 57 also and was actually born in England to American parents (Air Force). Boots is 13 years younger than my father was. I grew up watching westerns and reminisce about that era.

One of the last of the real ole time cowboys. The one's who believed if it couldn't be done horseback it didn't need doin'!!! Lol privileged to have been raised around many of the last of that breed!!!

The love of the Cowboy way of life. I pray we can keep it going. No better life in the world. That’s the real freedom. God Bless these old cowboys. Boots can never be replaced.

It is an honor to get to know Boots, thank you so much.

Did Boots pass?

[@jstep100]

Good stuff! He did t feel worthy yet he’s probably one of the most legit and knowledgeable cowboys on the planet.
