Axe Man returns

1st I'll say it is very entertaining. 2nd It is a reailty show or better known as fake.

Not saying that their whole outfit/s are fake but for the show much is horse droppings. I wouldn't let that Melvin guy near my kids tonka toys, he's a terrible operator and would bankrupt a company in no time. The river logger is a jerk but if you take it for what it is, it is like the old 3 stooges show. If they honestly ran their outfits the way they do the safety squad would tear their butts apart.

I hang out on a site for professional loggers and arborists. There is no doubt at all that the incidents are all staged. A bit of common sense says they are. Take the incident of the limb through the roof of the ?feller/buncher? last season adn the log through the cab this year. Do accidents happen? Yes. Do they happen conveniently when there is a film crew present and one just happens to hae his camera pointed in the right direction and running? Absolutely not!

Generally the show is watched for the asinine parts and to be laughed at over there.

Aside: RFD? Where is it? I lost it when DirectTV shuffled the channels around. Been looking for can't find.

I dunno if I would go so far as to say the stuff has to be staged. One thing about digital media is it allows them to record thousands of hours of the boring stuff waiting for something 'interesting' to happen.

I definitely like the Bobby Goodson swamp loggers the best, I have nothing but respect and admiration for the owner and crew. I just like everything I see in the way they operate. I like J Browning and the Western guys OK But they are really "pumping up" this competition between J.Browning and Rygard this year and I think that's all for TV. I find the Louisiana swamp man amusing/interesting and am interested in what he has going on but so far it seems the most "staged" of any of them to me. I sure don't think he REALLY thought that gator was laying right there when he jumped off the side of the boat.." see them bubbles comin' up rite there!" Yeah, they come up in my pond too all summer and I sure don't have any gators....any way, I think he darn well hoped that gator wasn't laying down there but he sure knew it was going to look good to those camera people when he said that and jumped in and started thrashing around.... with a log of all things (give me a break). The father/son team is something else. In the recent episode where they went to FL to work for the guy on the Suwanni River I think by the end of the show his new boss was starting to see what was going on. It won't take him long to want to kick that foul mouth father's face in and put him back on a plane for the N.W. Can't wait until next week!

Thats in my neck of the woods. I am a Land Surveyor and have worked along and in the Suwannee River. It can get pretty hairy, but I expect they will drama that up quite a bit more than it really is.

It looked hairy. I've heard that Doobie Brothers song my whole life..."Oh black water, keep on rollin..." never really knew what they meant by "black water" until they talked about it the other night and you could see it churning behind the boats. I laughed to myself because when the father was in the truck driving to Fl, he was talking about what an adventurer he was and that they were heading to the Suwanni where big catfish and gators lived. Later in the show they showed a clip of him screaming like a girl and cussing that no one told him a 12 foot gator was going to be in the river. Made me laugh out loud! Years ago I used to date a Georgia peach and we were down there visiting her familiy and we went swimming in a quarry late one night and I realized that a gator was swimming around and checking out the floating beer cans. I'd be lying if I told didn't tell you this northern boy wasn't doing his best impression of Jesus and walking on water toward shore!

That part of Florida where they are filming on the Suwannee river up around a little place called White Springs is in my opinion some of the prettiest country in this part of the state, huge live oak trees palmetto flats and oak hammocks, and I like the show even though some of it has to be put on for t.v., I like others have already mentioned like J. Browning he does'nt have to show his tail to keep things in line and I believe most of his men have respect for him.
