He went to dispatch it with a revolver, Belding missed it at 10', really? man that was bad, then when he killed it, they all high fived, jumping up and down screaming like girls, even a dang coyote deserves more respect than that! I actually thank the Lord for the gift and the life the animal gave. That show will not help any trapper keep their rights.
Thats on top of all the complaints previously mentioned. At that time several guys wrote his sponsers, no results. I used to laugh at Less Johnsons show, now it looks pretty good compared to that Dead Crap on Air
Not to keep beating this dead horse, but I saw that episode and was completely disgusted. The release of the fox was ridiculous. I DVR'd and was able to pause it and it clearly showed the animals from leg hanging on by a piece of skin. What a jacka**!
The clip of the trapped bobcat just about made me sick. That idiot that missed it and then jumped up and down like a moron when he shot it, should never, ever be in front of a camera again. I admire the animals I chase. I respect the heck out of them and certainly show them more respect after the shot than these clowns do. How these guys still have a predator hunting show is beyond me.
