That's why they can cost as much as $5000" Green too said it's fun to play Daniel Boone as an adult "What got me started? Well it was the fantasy of the old guns and the traditions of the Old West" Green said "Even John Wayne movies influenced me" A few manufacturers produce replicas that take great liberties with the historical associations: some models are weatherproofed ignition and they they have are predrilled for easy mounting of a telescopic sight Fish and game departments around the country can't ignore the present either: rs '71- TOYOTA PICKUP not reproductions" of men women and children attend "rendezvous" as the are called The public is invited but the true "buckskinners" must rigidly of the adhere to the past Nothing can be worn shot cooked in or slept in that isn't an exact replica of an item from pre- i I you starting The Salt Lake Tribune Graphic iModem muzzleloading enthusiasts look backwards to enjoy I BIo'SiIaI: RUles 0 Never go hunting alone 0 Always tell someone where you're going your hunt so you will be back to camp or 0 Plan vehicle before dark your extra food and water 0 Carry 0 Have a map and compass with you how to start a fire - carry two methods 0 ofKnow fire with Map of the area you are hunting 0 Proper clothing on private property r Gloves O Rope O Knife hunter orange Sharp knife String to attach deer tag Written permission from landowner 4b)-st- !
