Don't watch this. This show is anything but educational.
I find this show fascinating. My niece is a neighboring rancher to Clayton Phipps who is highlighted in Montana.
Great show that excites veiwers about paleontology.
This show disturbs me to my very core. The fact that these people, with no background or understand of science and a 10 year old's level of comprehension of palaeontology, encourage the excavation and selling of priceless natural artifacts (on a purely profitable basis) is sickening.
At first, Dino Hunters seems like your average, run-of-the-mill basic dinosaur documentary focusing on the fossils of popular dinosaurs. However, I was blown away, absolutely gobsmacked at the lack of actual paleontological knowledge or respect.
The premise of this show is a bunch of CoWbOyS digging up fossils. If you didn't think that was bad, these CoWbOyS then proceed to sell these fossils to the highest bidders.
Look, I'm a science geek. I get it.
To put it bluntly, this sad excuse for a dinosaur documentary promotes the illegal exploitation of priceless fossils for financial gain. No actual scientists are seen on screen, just idiots trying to make a quick buck by holding back science.
Dino hunters shows blatant disrespect for both the fossil community it claims to be a part of and the law itself. The show has no real experts, and when they aren't getting dinosaur names and details completely wrong, they're showing people how glamorous the crim of fossil smuggling can be.
