Ronald Paul: Deer is bad, out there being chased. They’ll go through a crust and then they’ll scrape their shins, and hide’ll go way up, see bone and everything. And three or four times they’ll jump, then their legs get sore and they can’t jump, they just stand there, and the Indians come along there, grab them, POW, plunk them over the head, slit their throat and just leave them right there and keep going right on. It’s not so much as they were after the meat, it was the pelt they were after. With that they can make snowshoes, a hat, gloves, and everything. The same as a moose, moose hides. They go out there and track moose. The moose hide, they make moccasins, them winter moccasins they’re heavy. They’re lined, fur lined.
