Trapping will hit the limelight when the show "Mountain Men" debuts tonight on the History Channel. While the reality program will not focus solely on traplines, it appears trapping could be a big part of the show, which will feature three men living and surviving in the wild.

The show begins at 9 p.m. Central.

It's going the way of the other reality shows with the emphasis of life threatening danger at every step. We have to get some meat or we'll starve this winter as they drive down the road back to their $300,000 house.
I can see they have set it up so their is some sort of confrontation between the two guys in WV.

AARGH :bash:
