My interest in the AMM is of course to attain recognition of my involvement in buckskinning. Reviewing the 15 requirements during the 2 year Pilgrim period, I won't have MUCH difficulty in satisfying but neither is it a breeze. I am profoundly deaf which is more of a social liability than a physical handicap (handicap? hell, I sleep well, kids noise doesn't bother me, etc. handicap? huh). Therein lies my problem. I shy away from gatherings be it the local bars, church meetings or rendezvous. If it's just a shoot, then I'm ok, I shoot first, then camp, then drink til darkness falls and that's my day. Requirement no. 5 is the only one to give me pause. Requirement no. 15 might occur this September if I draw an elk permit(hoping). As some one else said on this list "Vanity. All is vanity." (who said that?)

It also has some information on critters that eat on horn and how to get rid of them. You can also contact the Mad Monk a.k.a.

My interest in the AMM is of course to attain recognition of my involvement in buckskinning. Reviewing the 15 requirements during the 2 year Pilgrim period, I won't have MUCH difficulty in satisfying but neither is it a breeze.

Another writer uses the phrase "over the mountain men". Dropping the word over to establish a link to "the mountain men" to the east of the historic area. Removing the word over from the phrase changes everything. Walt Walt, They are talking about joining the American Mountain Men (AMM), the modern organization. Not the phrase you always use, referring to the original mountain men. If you must use the phrase, how about using American mountain men instead, it would clear up misunderstandings, and at least some members of this list would appreciate it.
