Hard to follow up the goat Roland Welker. Last season there were some good participants plus the Michael Jordan of Alone.

I wonder if the show producers purposely put them in an area where they can't hunt a lot of the animals. Last year Roland was so far and away better than all the rest partially because he got that Ox. I don't think they wanted one person to dominate again.

Clay dropping that buck was a big deal for him. The rest are all scraping by at best.

Protecting all that meat is going to be tough. But one deer should be enough to get him through 70-80 days (he was already 20+ days in), right?
He needs to supplement with edibles and maybe some fish. But he should be semi-set.
Why isn't anyone trapping? Is it also illegal this season?

My guess is since hunting squirrels is illegal, the chance of killing one in a snare is pretty strong unless you were trying for something bigger.
I also saw a caption on this last episode where they could only use a gill net up to day 45.
When you are in a survival situation, just about everything needs to be on the table to kill for food and if this place has too many rules they shouldn't go there.

Yea there shouldn't be any laws for them. They should be able to eat whatever they want and kill bears that try to take their food. Just my opinion

A lot of shitty contestants this season, making all of the same excuses. Hopefully the last few can make the season recover.

He also hadn't eaten flesh in 10 days or something. He really needs to stock pile fish for fat and insulate his shelter.

I thought it said they couldn't use a gill net until day 45.

It really doesn't matter about the fish and gill net stuff.
Fish will only help you last longer than others not catching fish. You aren't going to outlast someone catching fish when the other person kills big game. You have to kill a big animal if you want to win.
One thing i've noticed about this season is there seems to be a lot more foraging than before. Maybe they are just showing it more this season, i don't know, but there seems to be a lot more wild edibles to eat here.

Agreed. To me, it's not that last season was so great (but it was. Instead, it's that they aren't really doing anything. Yes, there are some good shelters and the pier, but I don't really enjoy just watching them all starve. I mean there is hardly any food and it seems really hard to get a fish. So weird that they can't kill squirrels and there just doesn't seem to be much out there other than the bears who probably eat all the food.

There's grouse everywhere, yet i don't think we've seen anyone eat one. Grouse are stupid, like pigeons, and very easy to kill with a bow. Hell you could usually get close enough to them to kill them throwing something at them.
We've killed grouse every year the last 4 years elk hunting in Colorado. we aren't even looking for them. you walk enough and you'll see them. My goal this year is to make a throwing stick and kill one that way instead of with the bow.

I misread the caption. Thanx for the correction. I would think that's going to make it worse since it will be colder handling the net and if the lake freezes over it becomes useless.

I'm pretty sure Jordan put a gill net out under the frozen lake. He was catching frozen fish. If not him, someone else did.

Laws definitely being broken by participants possibly with the province of BC's blessing but neither they or History will reply. Regulations are all on line to check. Law abiding BC residents seeing this are pissed.
1. Set lines, Fish traps, spearing ang Gillnets are ILLEGAL in this area & most of BC.
2. No bull trout under 60 cm. Done on show.
3. Contestants {non-residents} hunting for big game (deer, cougar, bears, etc) is ILLEGAL.
4. Contestants {non-resident} hunting for small game (grouse, rabbit, skunk, beaver, ptarmigan, porcupine, bobcat, lynx, etc) is ILLEGAL except with a special license which is unlikely they have.
5. ILLEGAL to snare anything but rabbit for BC hunters and ILLEGAL for all contestants {non-resident} anyway.
6. Illegal to hunt/kill squirrels without a Trapping License and territory which contestants can't possess.
History Channel doesn't mention getting British Columbia government allowance to break the law by these contestants. Did the British Columbia government give permission to break the law and History not state this or given instruction by the B.C. government to NOT state this? Were contestants even informed? Did they sign NDA's. No, you guessed it, I don't trust my government.
And yes in a real life emergency situation I would do all of the above to survive and expect anyone else to do so. However for a $500,000 prize you aren't in an emergency survival situation. If History were given government allowance stating so would make it acceptable.

Agreed. Unless a deer trips and breaks its leg in someone else’s camp, not sure who can beat him.
I agree with others. Boring season. Watched the last two episodes last night. Didn’t hold my attention. Find myself rooting against most of these people which is not usually how I watch the show.

And that lady’s fake British accent is horrific. She sounds like a kid who just watched Harry Potter trying to sound British.

Interesting first post.
I cannot imagine that the show didn't get approval of what they could and couldn't do before this all started. I seriously doubt they didn't get exceptions to certain things, like killing deer, or making fish traps(which they are making to catch little tiny fish, not trout), or killing grouse.
Notice no one has talked about trapping rabbits or squirrels, yet they have all talked about killing grouse. They haven't shown anyone set snares.
Seems like quite the reach for you to assume that the History channel picked this spot and didn't talk to the wildlife agency to get confirmation of what they could and couldn't do.
