Blazing West #8
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThe issue contains "Tinker's Gamble," in which Wayne Hardy attempts to prove he can deliver gold through Devil's Canyon by disguising an empty chest as a shipment and using a tinker's wagon as a decoy, only to be outwitted when the outlaw gang discovers the ruse and the tinker reveals himself as a hired man working for mine boss Barton. It also features a story involving Firebrand, a horse that races and defeats a rival named El Diablo, with a ranger character thanking Firebrand's owner for the victory and acknowledging the superiority of a "Texas Ranger."
In this instructional Western tale, learn the secrets of steer-wrestling—the dangerous rodeo skill of catching and throwing cattle without a rope—straight from the star bulldoggers who've mastered it. The piece walks through each step of the technique, from the hazer's crucial role to the final throw that plants your steer flat on its back.
