I spent the next twelve hours lying stationary between the horse and a large rock. I usually pack my camp axe on my pack mule to the outside of a mantied load, but you can certainly attach it to your saddle if you prefer an axe. His knees were pulled up to his chest. I attach the lower straps to my front rigging ring. They weren't careless enough though that we expected it to be a trap. I have heard many stories where folks have found their rifle way back on the trail because they never knew it had been snagged on a branch and yanked out of the gun scabbard. I would be ready this time. An axe sheath is designed with rings to tie your saddle strings to. Then attach the lower strap to the front rigging ring. My wife's saddle has rings on the back, so she loops the straps through these rings. If you use an open ended leather or nylon rifle scabbard and hang it with the butt toward the rear, be aware that your rifle could end up missing. They heard us before they saw us coming.
I prefer this attachment so that my horse is free to turn tightly to the right without being hindered by the bow. I have heard many stories where folks have found their rifle way back on the trail because they never knew it had been snagged on a branch and yanked out of the gun scabbard. I picked it up and scanned the brow of the hill we were camped along. I have seen rifle scabbards slung on horses many different ways. If you want to attach your rifle scabbard with the butt toward the rear, attach the upper strap to any available dee ring on the back of your saddle. Frenchie had been killed the second day. Buried him at nightfall. The 'yellow boy' was pointed at my chest. The two of them had stuck up the stage for the fourth time in six months, and the sheriff had finally decided enough was enough. I fired all six chambers into him. The two of them had stuck up the stage for the fourth time in six months, and the sheriff had finally decided enough was enough.

Buried him at nightfall. This hangs the axe at an angle where it is easy to secure the handle out of your way. We buried him the dark for fear they would be lurking nearby and shoot at us if we made a light. Frenchie was sort of our protegie, he followed one or the other of us around like a little yellow mutt. Three more times. Also, if you hang the gun scabbard on the near side of the horse, it adds that much more weight to tip the saddle when mounting. I pulled my pistol out, rolled onto my side and aimed it across the stream. Frenchie had been killed the second day. So he offered a reward, two hundred dollars a head, dead or alive. I could smell the sulfur from the powder as the smoke floated by me. Joe died about three in the afternoon. I fired all six chambers into him. I attach the lower strap to my flank cinch dee ring. But we were wrong.
