Now this is an outdoorsman/hunter

[Gossman Knives]

Reading the hunting bear with a knife thread reminded me of this man. I'm sure some of you have heard of this legend of the Southwest. There was a story about him in Tactical Knives many years ago. Check out this link. Good read. http://epcc.edu/nwlibrary/borderlands/23/Ben Lilly.htm

Yes indeed, they were the good old days. :thumbup: I love how he only took his rifle, a knife and some matches.

Yes, Ben Lilly was an amazing fella and truly at his prime in his mid-50's (incredible stamina). Some consider him the last of the great mountain men.

Ben makes an appearance (as a fictional character) in the four-book "Lonesome Dove" saga by McMurtry.
