Anyone watched this new show on Nat Geo?

I watched the season premier and the question I'm still waiting to have answered is how this guy is just running around in the wilderness and no one seems to care. Does he file a 1040 each year like everyone else?

I'm a little more than suspicious that this show is complete fiction. What if anything do you know about "the ledgend."

If it isn't fiction then it is the truth stretched paper thin. There are lots of claims but very little to support his claims of living in the wild until just a couple years ago. I'd say he is just another anti-human green nut with slickly produced TV show.
Maybe he's a "Legend" in his own mind???? :twocents:
You have to dig deep in a google search to start getting any real independent info on him........

A friend, lived near Old Town Idaho, between Ruby Ridge and Hoodoo Mountain, There were a LOT of freeman living amongst the mountains and trees out there in the wilds.
I doubt that many of them peoples claimed anything to the IRS.
Remember Randy Weaver and the Ruby Ridge incident ???

OH YEAH !!!! Back to Mick Dodge.
If He had NOT been claiming on any IRS paperwork and was juz sorta hiding out, He done lost all of that now.
I will say one thing, If that is/was Him actualy shooting that bow in the show, then, I durned sure would not wanna be down range of Him. He seemed to be able to handle that part of it OK.
When I was growing up, My Dad would help Me, I`d glue different types of wood together, lamanate them, then, using a draw knife, I would whittle out My own bows, make My own arrows from Dowel wood, fletchings from feathers I had found along the Yellowstone rivers forests. I`d buy the knocks though. If I did`nt have enough money to buy arrow heads, I would get Me a nice fire going and burn and sharpen the ends of the shafts using a rock that had to be JUST right for the purpose, sometimes I would use willow sticks for shaftings, if I could`nt afford the dowel sticks, the willow sticks, I would burn and shape the nocks into those too. Before fletching of course. :busted:
So, If He is living in the cascades, especially along the and torwards the California area, where the winters are`nt quite as brutal as here, I thinking it could be done.
I think the reality of the concept is there, but, I`d bet He has some sort of a hutch built like them other fellers He is bartering with, for when it gets cold and snows. He juz do`n find a hole an climb init. I would bet onit.

Been in the Olympic peninsula. Rough, wild, very wet country. Might be true, a friend had to track a similar guy down thirty years ago in Montana for killing a biathlete and trying to kidnap a female biathlete. Such guys do exist. But most are legends in their own mind.
