JJL Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 Fot those of you who still remember John Wayne.............. The movie True Grit was filmed here locally in Ridgway, CO. There are still alot of locations that remain the same as they were in the movie, albeit 40 years later. If you remember the final big shootoout from that movie, Rooster takes the reins in his mouth and a gun in each hand anf finishes off the bad-guys. The meadow where that scene was filmed is about 15 miles from here near Owl Creek Pass. I was up there chasing Elk this past week and made sure I stopped in and did a little calling. No-one responded...........but, it was still pretty cool hunting where one of the greatest scenes in American Movie History was shot. There's no sign or plaque, so you have to really know where it is in order to find it. Really cool when you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deerslayer2295 Posted September 13, 2009 Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 the line you are referring to is " Fill your hands you son of a -----", and that movie is just one of many great movies by a awesome actor. That was one of his best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted September 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2009 John Wayne's only Oscar win was for True Grit. No Jeff. No Elk stories as of yet. They're just starting to think about what God put them here for. Last night we got our first snow..............that'll get them going. The mulies are shedding velvet so they're all hiding. I've got this coming week off, so blood will be spilt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
