The Washington state Department of Natural Resources has seized more than two dozen logs it says a timber crew featured on the History Channel’s reality show ‘Ax Men’ salvaged illegally.
DNR officers served a search warrant Friday on S&S Aqua Logging to retrieve timber the company had pulled from the Hoquiam River without a permit, said the agency’s chief enforcement officer, Larry Raedel.
Officers were tipped off after watching the popular series, which chronicles the lives of Pacific Northwest timber cutters, including a father-son team from Aberdeen-based S&S Aqua Logging.
An Associated Press call and e-mail to the company and e-mails seeking comment from the History Channel were not immediately returned.
