Those stupid movie cowboys

"He thought of his spurs. Kneeling down, he unfastened them from his boots and hung them over a root near the end of the log. He wanted no jingling spurs to give his presence way at an inopportune moment." (from The Trail to Crazy Man, by Louis L'Amour)

How often in old cowboy movies have we watch a cowboy sneaking up on the bad guy with his spurs still on? Almost as dumb as trying to peek over a rock with his hat on, which they all did, also.
