I actually texted Erik @ Talarek Creek lodge and asked why my favorite couple wasn’t on Season 2 LBZ. His simple response was “they are just too busy to be bothered by that show”. No mystery folks. They run 2 lodges and hunting & fishing expeditions & now Martha is a mommy. Good Luck to the Salitans…a fan in California!
Sounds like they are grateful for all the exposure the show provided.
Understandably that they are busy now and they should be thankful to the show for providing the publicity because they weren’t “too busy” before that it seems. The new characters are just as fun so regardless, still a good show.
why is Eric’s wife not on teh show any more?
Erik do you still do any trapping?
