I was informed tonight, that member James Carr has passed away. His
neighbors had not seen him for a couple weeks, and saw his stock wasn't
being cared for. They forced entry into his house, and found him dead.
Apparently, he had been gone for a couple weeks. Being in Wyoming, it
was cold enough, that he was in a well preserved state.
I've known Jim since 1981. All of the mountain man association knew him as Muley. He was a regular, as much as anyone is, at western national rendezvous for over 30 years. He always made homemade ice cream at nationals, no matter how remote the site was. He was a real story teller, with an indepth knowledge of firearms, and 19th century history, that few can match. I last talked to him a few weeks ago, as he had sent me an action, barrel, and stock, to make into a schutzen rifle. He knew he would never finish the project, and wanted someone to finish it. That, I will, and shoot it with pride. We'll see you on the other side, Muley. |

Apparently no family close by to miss him? A lonely way to check out, but kinda like the mountain men of the past did it? I never chatted with him personally but he many times imparted a view that made you think about things in a slightly different way. Sorry for your, and I guess our loss.

I'll expect to see that rifle sometime soon, Wak. It will be a good memorial.

That's a shocker. I liked him, and he seemed witty at times. His posts were all read by me with interest. I am sorry that he passed. He will be missed...............................Kingpin

There are times when a normal man must, spit in his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

The guys covered it well and don't believe I can add much more. Nank seemed to know his way around the mountain when it came to traditional riflery, extremely well. He'll be missed by many.
