No, I just decided to word it differently.
White doesn’t have a TV so he doesn’t know there’s no one from Tanana on Mountain Men. And any anti could say the same stop at the store crap to any of us. That’s who should get a vacation if any is warranted. I like the show as a pro trapping show and can’t see anything positive about that comment. Whatever! Just because you’re a moderator doesn’t make you right ALL the time. And I said no offense and I was sincere.

Gotta give white credit for not being stuck to a tv too you know. I used to like the trapping shows but too much drama gives the wrong impression to people that think that’s really how hunting and trapping works. I don’t watch them much anymore. The last Alaskans is about the realist one right now. I was supposed to take part in a tv show but haven’t heard much about it since I Skyped with producers in New York and LA. Maybe they cut me when I told them I wouldn’t take part if the show was portrayed as a life and death type show.

No offense White but that’s something an anti might say to any of us who hunt trap or fish. I think Mountain Men is pro those subjects and we’re lucky it’s on TV. If it bothers you that much then turn it off and please avoid the subject. Sincerely.

Nessy, you should have seen them reminiscing with Zim about people they all knew back when Zim lived there in Montana. They had a few good laughs. I will just pretend I'm big-time buds with Tom & Nancy because I like them! They are really that likeable though!

Yes, maybe we can all go out and try to shoot a deer while the voice of God narrator says that "they have to get this deer or they will risk not having enough protein to get through the winter."

Marty tells me that he often refuses to do stupid stuff that they want him to do. He says he gets along pretty well with the videographers and they share that understanding. Let's face it, the camera and sound people are depending on him to keep them alive out there. But once they ship that footage back in to the production studio, all bets are off! The editors and producers literally INVENT chaos and consternation and dub it in and voice it over.

And that is precisely why I refuse to participate in this sort of nonsense, even though I agree with the Horse Creek guy that it is great and wonderful to at least have trapping portrayed in a somewhat positive light. It would have to be portrayed in an ACCURATE light for me to be talked into it.

And believe me, as the past President of ATA I get a Metric S**** Ton of calls asking me to do it! When I tell them I won't do it, they ALL (and I mean every single producer...) promise that they will be the one who finally just documents instead of making stuff up.

They are so transparent. Which is obvious when I ask if they would mind giving me veto power over any of the finished footage! "Oh no, we could never do that...!"

OK, no deal then.

It’s understandable I’d think for an older man with bad arthritis to make a mistake on a bison sized animal. I just hope I can still walk, hunt and trap at his age. Shoot I hope I live to see his age.
