Joe asked if he had seen anyone, and he said he hadn’t.

No one in there right mind would of done what Joe Pickett did . Silly content ?
“would of”? In 3rd grade I learned it was “would’ve.”
He isn’t shot by and “bow” and a “bow” NOT stuck in his leg. It’s an ARROW!
So far not happy with season2. First of all, leaving his horse and all of his stuff to follow one brother in the woods and leave the other one at camp is like leaving a car door open with all your possessions inside. Joe is a seasoned game warden and meets 2 crazy bros in the woods. C’mon, now that was terrible writing. It makes you think Joe needs a different line of work and you lose faith in the hero of the show. Not a good way to start a second season. Not to mention, you injure the horse. I don’t know when writers will finally realize, we don’t like it when any animal is injured or killed no matter the circumstances. The fact the writers kept Joe’s dog and horses away from danger on season 1 was great. REMEMBER: NEVER INJURE OR KILL AN ANIMAL. No one likes it!
