So I was dragging a lion around in circles with a bunch of dogs chewing on her, and she was putting up a pretty good fight with three legs.
I jerked the lion off the rock, and then the dogs all jumped on the lion.
The mule I was riding was pretty green and, when the cat started throwing a fit with the rope on her paw, decided to take off.
She swatted at the rope, and I pulled it up tight around her front paw.
So I jerked my rope down and just kinda pitched it at the lion on that rock.

He has been inducted into the Big Bend Cowboy Hall of Fame, given the Working Cowboy Award by the National Cowboy Symposium, the Heritage Award by the Texas Cowboy Poetry Gathering, and won more buckles and saddles then he can count.
Born in 1937 and raised on the Rio Grande, he has lived the Cowboy life most people believe ended in the 1800\'s.
Apache Adams is somewhat of a living legend out in the Big Bend country of Texas.
He invited us off our horses, and I noticed a .30-.30 rifle sitting pretty close to his hand.
We rode into the camp, and Casus, the man I figured stole the cow, had a little fire going and had coffee ready and some tacos made.
We both agreed that the best thing we could do was to keep our mouths shut under the circumstances.
When we got close to the wax camp, José said he thought they would have a trap set for us, and we\'d be outnumbered.
I\'d packed a .357 magnum pistol, and José had a .22 pistol.
