I used to watch this show as a kid, and will admit that I enjoy them more now then when they were originally on television. There was reputedly an episode where Marlin Perkins and his crew captured a bear in the Florida swamps, but the bear had actually be place there beforehand by the production team. I wonder if this was that same episode?

I've read it was.marty stauffer host of PBS wild America got caught setting up scenes.
That bear is definitely not gentle, Ben.
We used to laugh everytime Marlin would send Jim in to do the dirty work. That was ripe for a SNL skit.
One of my favorite episodes.
This is a great episode, I can't wait to see what the next will be, I just hope at least one if not both of them will have Stand Brock. :)
Must be hitting 80mph....???
That was a big mess with the bear not sure why they didn't use a tranquilizer
The bear would lie down the swamp and drown easily.
May drown and would be very heavy.
bear fighting is so ackward, would be better to let nature do its natural duty.
they actually placed the beat there. That's why
