Skito Saddle Pads
I was in the market for a new saddle pad after my old one wore out.
Agnes, my riding mule, has a bad back and it makes a big difference to have a good saddle pad.

Ellis Canvas Tents
I reached out to Ellis Canvas Tents because I was just not too happy with my sleep system. I had seen their products before and was really impressed with the "Cowboy Bedroll". They sent me one to try and can say that so far it is the best I have used for Cowboy Camping.
Soon I hope I can get one of their Canvas Tents

If you can listen to the end ... I tried to put something together that kind of explains why we do what we do ... Thank you guys ..

[@garyb4929]

again, stating the essence of what takes place. Brett, first time I heard a big cat squal, I was about 5 yr old @ Uncle ranch, N.W of Uvalde, Tx, in late 50s., It cut loose, on ridge, above the Hunting Lodge as men were hang the deer taken that day. Awesome(scary at time) but great memory. Thanks again,

@BrettVaughnB100 Hey, it's worth it. Actually, we get the better of the deal. I remember a time when my folks would drop us off at the movies while they went shopping, and it only cost. 25 or.50cents to watch. 2 bucks or bucks to watch and listen to quality time spent on Mules and with Dogs and your adventures is way more better lol 😆 Thanks pal for sharing. Onwards and upwards.

[@johnhenryholiday4964]

Your words hold great wisdom, I think to myself when I go into the woods and I see a beautiful landscape and wonder how many others may of seen this very place only in a different time, a different season, or the purpose that they had was different then mine... You look at the majesty of nature and to deny that there is a deity, a creator, a father of creation and of man is nothing but blasphemy and denial of reality....

[@stevehoffman204]

Your ending was pure poetry. Put together very well why we go out and pursue game. As someone once said "its not the kill its the chase" Deer season is fast approaching here in Ohio and I cannot wait to get out into the woods. Does not matter if I take one or not, just being out there is special. I can't wait until the next time I get to come out west, it's truly special out there. Hopefully next spring I can plan another trip. By the way, Samson says hi, he perked right up when he heard the hounds calling.

[@BrettVaughnB100]

Give Samson a treat for me ... thanks and good luck with your hunt

[@eanderson1801]

I like the way you work with the dogs. No need to yell, you just talk and they listen. Some people just won't stop with yelling and hollering. Soon the dogs just tune them out so they yell more. You do it well

[@BrettVaughnB100]

I have to be honest .. I do yell sometimes ... bad words and yelling are edited out .. but it doesn't happen that often lol Thanks

[@eanderson1801]

@BrettVaughnB100 of course we all yell sometimes but it is reserved for when it is needed and appropriate. Not default. That's what makes it successful

[@Officialfulloffaithranch]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple years now and loving it! Finally got a chance to go with some friends bear hunting up here in Idaho. It was really neat to get to watch the hounds work and the excitement of the chase was really something to be a part of. We treed a bear and watched him for a bit and then caught the dogs and headed back home. It wasn’t about killing something, just the adventure itself and getting out there in the hills and the fresh air and that dance of nature like you talked about. I also learned why they call it hound hunting instead of bear hunting. You turn the dogs out of the dog boxes and spend the rest of the day hunting them down to put back in the boxes haha 😂

[@BrettVaughnB100]

lol sometimes that can be the case ... dryground lion hunting you get to spend most of the time with the hounds .. Thank you!!

[@Gail-ux2ly]

I find comfort in the fact that there are still lions and bears and wolves in our wild spaces. I have been bitten by a rattlesnake, and the experience was not fun. But the fact is that the snake was doing what snakes do. I was careless in his territory.

That was a beautiful ending most will never know just what freedom is or what it could be. While we journey through this life so consumed in the modern era most will never know or ever find an feel just what freedom is. Not ever knowing what the true meaning is. When time stops that was beautiful if only every American just knew where an how to get to that place where time stops than they would know the true meaning of freedom.
