Stars of TV's 'Ax Men' Accused of Illegal Log Harvest
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,509179,00.html

SEATTLE — The state Department of Natural Resources has seized more than two dozen logs it says a timber crew featured on the History Channel's reality show 'Ax Men' salvaged illegally.

DNR chief enforcement officer Larry Raedel says officers served a search warrant Friday on S&S Aqua Logging to retrieve timber the company had pulled from the Hoquiam River.

Raedel says the company didn't have a permit to salvage those logs, and DNR officer were tipped off after watching the show.

As much as I love the genesis for this sort of industry show ("Dangerous Catch") we should all realize that these sorts of programs are directly out of marketing 101 for industry image building. "Ax Men" isn't as popular as "Catch" mainly because the characters on the latter drive the show and because it was the original. Just saying.
