I think it would be funny when the contestants on “Hunted” who get caught were shot by nerf bullets and paintballs. 

Right now its just a game of hide and seek with mostly morons who’s cell phones give away their location. Have they never watched “Dateline” or “48 hours”? A burner phone is usually a good move unless you buy it yourself in full view of surveillance cameras. The hunters just go to that same store and get the phone number and start tracking.

Two young guys were smart. They were completely off of the grid. They would avoid staying with friends who would be easy to track. Instead, they went to beach areas and talked girls into letting them crash for the night. They thought they were very clever but three hunters assumed they were in a beach area.

The hunters then blasted a reward poster of the two of them on Facebook, promising a cash reward for turning them in. Brilliant!  Sure enough, someone gave up their location. Then the hunters deployed drones until they saw them in a boat and went after them. Done. Cooked. Put a fork in them. Three guys were dumbfounded.

If Heather and I were on the show. I would take cash from home so I never had to use an ATM. Then we would joust go from one campground to another the entire game. If we needed supplies we would hire someone to buy them for us to avoid surveillance cameras. Good plan except for one tiny detail. Heather won’t go camping. Ever.

Yeah, we would probably get caught pretty quickly. The nerf bullets would be OK but the paint balls would hurt. Either way it would be fun.
