Pawnee chase scene, from "Kansas Moon, The Last Hunt" Film Clip

[James Hunt]

Bill: really outstanding, really impressive - Indian clothing and horses are GREAT - don't try this at home? You have to be kidding, I'm headed to the barn now!

[Montana Slim]

Nice "teaser" clip.....looking good.!!

Lucky I weren't there...me specialty is hitting movin' targets....course I'm all grins when they is just sittin' still 
But then, rolling him from that pony coulda changed the whole outcome of the film plot... 

Great job!,
Slim

  Enjoyed the clip!  The only thing I can see to be critical of was how clean the buffalo hunters looked.  Nice footage of the rolling block!

Bill,
i'm in sw/Ar NE  Tx, area. A days drive  more or less from Kansas.
i have a team  and acess to a six up team.Although I'm too stove up to do it Ive got a buddy that drives the six up like a maniac, He used to drive the stage and do the stunts at Disney in Paris.He tends to be kinda rough on wagons.
I use Mules or Percherons and drive like an old man. My wagon is and body are too old to tear up anymore.
I bossed a trail drive  back in the late 80s from Texas into Ar and he drove the wagon.
We brought the herd into the fairgrounds and stampeded the cattle the last 1/2 mile into the grounds and scattered kids and news media all over. We had one steer jump up onto the hood of a pickup. Luckily it was a truck that belonged to the promoter and he thought it was part of the deal. Made for great publicity.
Keep us in mind and holler if you need anything. it might be fun.

Don....
Will do! And I'll be easy one ya I know about the aches and pains....but I can still ride. The area around where we will be filming is easy rolling hills, and is a native short grass prairie. It has one dirt road that Jim uses and looks like an old wagon road or trail, you can see it in the clip, so the area lends itself to filming.

Jubal.....
Thanks for your comment. The low resolution clip does not lend itself to good detail...The Hi-Def clips shows the dirt and grittiness a lot better. The wind and dust blew pretty good all the while we were there and we were sweating profusely too. I wouldn't let them wash their clothes or change into clean clothing....so we were getting a little smelly there towards the end and gritty.

You should have mentioned that your players were too clean-looking to ME before you left, Bill.  I'd have made Dave wear his duds and SWEAT!  I have artificially "aged" most of my clothing - and some of the oldest pieces have taken on a lif of their own.  I've ALWAYS noticed how "clean" most folks are!  (I only LOOK dirty, friends;  A shower is my best friend ... especially since during the first Gulf War, we had to go 58 days without a shower!  (And the same 58 days eating only MREs!  MRE = in Army nomenclature; Meals, Ready, to Eat:   3 lies for the price of one!)

Bill,

That video clip is OUTSTANDING....I think I recognize a couple of those Buff Hunters.

Jeff,

You will be disappointed to know that I didn't eat a single MRE over in Iraq this time.  I did see a case once.

Richard, for YOU, I'm happy for your good fortune!

Bill, MREs took the C rats you had to new heights of disappointment!

(Actually, many of the MREs weren't half-bad and I hear that the newer generations of them have a few tasty items.  I always enjoyed the M&Ms Choc.-covered peanuts that came in some, and the Tabasco Sauce provided in about 3/4 of the "accessories packets" often made the main course edible!)

[Major Matt Lewis]

The MREs are better than you remember.  I, like you did get my fill in the Gulf war too:  and in officers school.  In Iraq the chow was very good.  Will likely get my fill in Afghanistan on the horizon.

Pard, I was there myself and I dont remember my battalion going that long. I figured it for 48 days but those days all sort of seemed to run into and over each other. The best part of that time frame for me was being a forward observer for my artillery battalion so the only dirty, sweaty person I was forced to breathe and smell was myself (at least 75% of the time).

Hey Bill, Do you have a website were you sell stuff like your mox? Loved the clip and no complaints here. Look forward to adding it to my collection. RC

Regret,  you guys were on "easy street" then!  LoL!!

A/B Troops, 1/4 ACR, 1st ID. 

Us tankers were the only ones who were that ... uh ... dirty.  The rest of Squadron didn't have to do the "extra" mission we did.

In a vehicle crew, we all got to smelling pretty much the same!  It  was a cross between Diesel, Lubricants, sweat, (buckets worth, it seemed) other bodily  ... smells, and Baby wipes.  LoL!


But now, back to the topic at hand and Bill's great photo captures from the movie.

Regret.....
No web site to sell items...usually word of mouth and if I'm not too busy and have time to do what ever it is I'm making. For instance...this week I am making two painted rawhide parfleche to be used in a scene for our film. Busy...busy...busy

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Bill is one of the busiest ... and most diversified workers (talent-wise) that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing.  I got to handle one of the bows and arrows he made for the film.  The work was practically breath-taking in it's authenticity, and quality of workmanship.

And we spent at least 15 minutes looking for the arrow that Bill shot.  I'm glad I found it!  I'm still hoping he'll come up with an "extra" arrow I might have/procure/trade-for, now that most of the film is done.   (At least, THIS film is nearly done.)

I may have an extra arrow I will give you...The film work is not near over yet, going back to Kansas in October to finish up there....got a murder scene that I am filming next Sunday......and then there are the months of editing, procuring music, entering the finished product in different film festivals to get it picked up, finding a distributor etc etc.....

Bill

[Steel Horse Bailey]

Thanks, Bill.  Dave has been keeping me informed on the schedule of things still to be done.  As you said, there's still a lot to do.

If you need anything that I can help with, let me know.

[Ottawa Creek Bill]

Thanks for watching the clip, I wish it had been of better quality but you have size limitations that you can upload to these hosting sites so you've got to cut the quality to be able to get the whole clip in.

Talked to Mike Tatham today. Mike didn't know this was posted so I brought it back to the top so he can watch it Tuesday when he goes back to work. Mike has been out of the loop lately.

What is the name of your movie, when it is offered for sale would like to purchase it. I really enjoyed the short clip, thanks.
