Seeing as how their livelihoods come from an illegal activity, it stands to reason the cast's lives are shrouded in secrecy, until now. We're going beyond the cameras and empty bottles of hooch to expose the barreled secrets of the Moonshiners.
For all the hubbub surrounding their profession, the Moonshiners aren't outlaws. The main reason Tickle and the boys haven't been shut down is that they don't actually make liquor, while filming anyway. Though they take the camera through the steps of moonshine manufacturing and act like the cops are on their tails, they don't make any booze in front of the cameras.

In addition to calling foul on this backwoods bamboozlement, the Virginia ABC asked that a disclaimer be added to the show. According to Fox News, this request "was overlooked," which is probably a code word for ignored.
This shouldn't be a surprise, because this is the same channel whose recent dramatizations try to convince viewers that mermaids are real and that megalodons stalk the seas.
They come from a documentary. Hopefully Hutcheson got some nice residuals out the Discover Channel using his footage. Sutton most definitely didn't because Sutton was sentenced to 18 months in jail, according to the BlueRidgeNow. Because of his age and a recent cancer diagnosis, the judge let Sutton carry out his sentence via house arrest. Sutton later took his own life. Sounds like the Discovery Channel has no qualms about making money off the dead.
Even though he doesn't make moonshine on camera, Tim Smith does know how to make it. There's lots of surprises in store for tonight's special episode, including a sneak peek at Tickle's return to Moonshiners! At the time, Tickle seemed to have turned over a new leaf, and hinted that he would be leaving moonshining behind. Back in the woods, making moonshine," he told Tim.
