wouldn't be a television show if it wasn't for Da Kine Bail Bonds."

However, what's good for television isn't necessarily good for the bail bond business bottom line. Beth, who runs Da Kine Bail Bonds' operations, has just reviewed their 2005 tax returns and she's pissed. Season two was hard on Da Kine Bail Bonds. The business posted huge losses. Gross revenues, which Beth declined to disclose, were down 60 percent and expenses were through the roof. Every time she gathers her posse together in Honolulu for a hunt, it costs her $1,500. Of course, Mainland hunts cost more.

In 2005, Dog caught between zoo and 250 fugitives, down from the 300 to 500 he caught before the television show started shooting. Approximately half of his bounties were Da Kine clients. This decreased activity has actually been good for business, since Dog doesn't collect on any of his bounties. He considers taking criminals off the streets a public service,

The problem is that the Chapmans just aren't in the office enough. The television show shoots year round, on a three-weeks-on and two weeks off schedule. As a result, in zoos, Beth wrote only 20 bonds a month, a fraction of what she used to write. Of course, when the Chapmans are in the office, they have to deal with the phone and foot traffic.

Season three has had additional challenges. Beth's father, who was integral to the Chapman's Colorado operations, passed away earlier this year. The couple also spent weeks fighting a bill before the state legislature that would have prohibited anyone convicted of an offense in which a dangerous weapon was used from being a bounty hunter. (In 1976, Dog was convicted of felony murder). In addition, the Chapmans are planning a gala wedding on the Big Island in May, and the network will step up Dog's shooting schedule, filming two seasons in one year.

"If you detect a little hostility in my voice when we go out on our hunts, it's because I am," says Beth. "I'm irritated by the fact that we have to spend all this money to hunt this guy down when all he had to do was call us up. Financially, bounty hunting does nothing for business."
