Since its pretty much the slow time of the year I thought I would throw this question out there...
Is Appalachion Outlaws for real?
Does anyone else watch that show on the History Channel on Monday nights?
Its a supposedly reality show following rednecks in West Virginia digging up ginseng and selling it.
Its almost too stressful to watch with the way they are sneaking in and out of the woods digging up seng and they are always robbing each other and buyers are competing against each other to buy the most...
Now this year a gang of thugs from (I think) North Caorolina is coming in and stealing the seng that the guys dig up and strong arming the locals to bring them to their honey holes to poach every little bit of seng out there.
Its hard to believe some of that stuff could be legit with the way "The Lumsford Gang" this season are threatening everyone with their guns and robbing those good ol boys for their seng...
I know "reality TV" these days (if ever) has really been all that "real" but I'm just curious if this show is actually legit.
I used to like watching the Duck Commander shows when they actually went duck hunting. But now that they have a "reality" show its just too scripted for my likeing...You can;t tell me Uncle Si is that dumb or they make all their calls in that room they all hang out in and package it up and sell it...
How many people ginseng hunt on this site? Is it worth as much up here as it is in West Virginia?
A couple episodes ago the guy named Obie dug seng for 3 days and was able to sell it for $25,000. Even he said, what other job can you work for 3 days and make $25,000?
The other night Gregg Shook dug seng for 2 days and made $35,000!
I mean if that stuff is worth that much around here, hell I'd take a week off in the fall and Hide-the-Hipe and I could go all over hills back home and make THOUSANDS of $$$ digging it up for all the land we have access to!!
