The duo shares an excellent relationship both on and off the screen as they work together in catching snakes and running their business. 

Dusty and Natalee have not been hitched yet, but they have been in a relationship for many years, so it might not be distant before they finally become husband and wife. Both of them are not active on social media platforms and prefer to keep a low-profile lifestyle.

On A Mission To Save Everglades 

The natural region of the southern part of Florida, also known as the Everglades, is a beautiful dense forest with rich biodiversity. Unfortunately, due to the invasion of these slithering predators in the Everglades in the past few decades, between 67 and 99 percent of the region's mammal population has disappeared causing an enormous disbalance in the ecosystem. 

It might sound a bit surprising, but as one of the famous python hunters in the US, one of his least favorite parts of the hunt is euthanizing the snakes.

Not long ago, hunters used to bring them back alive and have the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission take care of them. Now, Dusty revealed hunters are required to kill them in the field, which Crum does not like to do.

The bounty hunter says he finds someone else to do it. He stated he was never a hunter and said, he "hunts with a camera instead of a gun."

But he assures none of the snakes goes to waste and wants to be respectful of God's beautiful creatures. Dusty eats the meat and describes that the snakes' meat tastes like gator, but less fishy.

The former "Swamp People" star further said that his Cambodian neighbor uses the snake guts for traditional medicine. 

As for the bones and skin well, there is one way to best use it, i.e., to make accessories from it. The snakeskin is used in making jewelry accessories, purses, bags, and other stuff. Oh, and don't worry if you want to buy anything made out of snake as the reality star is the owner of a shop Orchid Envy located in Venice where he sells all the products.

Caught Two Huge Pythons 

In May 2017, Dusty Woldman Crum caught one of the most massive pythons ever caught on record. The snake measured 16 feet, 10 inches, and weighed 133 lbs. Furthermore, it was a female pregnant snake and had 73 eggs.
