Since the scene is hotter for him in Alabama; Puckett decides the illegal trade in bear parts to be most profitable. The despicable Puckett creates a thriving poaching business overnight, operating out of Cades Cove. Selling two black bear gall bladders alone makes him $25,000.00 dollars in a matter of nine days.
