Dino Hunters

If you've never owned and run a ranch...fed/bred/ replaced cattle...subsisted on the land and from the land, then you'll have no idea of the huge expense. If on your own property you find a source of income...go for it. If i found oil, gold, gemstones, etc...i would not hesitate looking for a source who'd buy. How authentic this show is...I have no idea. Time will tell.

People continue to complain about RANCHERS DIGGING ON THEIR OWN LAND. Go away complainers. They have every right to dig and sell what they find. There is NOTHING ILLEGAL going on here. Are their methods rough? Yes. If you don't like it, change the channel.

My complaint is that there is too much filler and small talk and not enough actual reveal of the actual skeletons.

Based on the comments, it sounds like a lot of scientists are jealous that these farmers can dig up dinosaurs on their own land and they cannot. Tall poppies syndrome?

At the end of the day is it 100% scientifically accurate? Probably not. Do I care? No, as it give a little bit of an in site into the world of bones and fossils. i.e. I didn't realise how much effort went into digging it up and restoring it to look like they do in a museum display. That was pretty interesting and something new that was learned.

Do I care if they make a buck? No i do not as at the end of the day it is their land and if they didn't dig them up they would turn to dust anyway.

Has the show made me want to buy some dinosaur fossils? absolutely, didn't even know that was a thing. What is wrong with private collectors want a tooth, a small bone or a claw? They seem to be priced reasonably well and it sounds like Museums already have more than they want.

Do I want a season 2? Absolutely as can't wait to see some more full bodies dug up and cleaned up and eventually maybe end up assembled as a display somewhere.

Reading some reviews I'm appalled some people think they have the right to judge what someone does on their own land. There are millions if not billions of dinosaur fossils to be found and everyone of them that these land owners find can lead to more discovery's. If anything this show puts the spotlight on illegal digs and showcases how meticulous these ranchers are in their documentation and their problem with poachers which just destroy scientific sites. Thinking museums are all goody goody just means they have no education in the methods used by them in the past. More museums are now able to purchase fossils from legitimate diggers.

I think this show pretty good. People searching for dinosaur bones mostly on there own property and having fun doing it! Message to the negative reviewer (s)You have the right to sell whatever dino bones you find and there's nothing that can be done about it so get over it!
