He and Lance have disappeared from the seriesJeff Waldrop and his son Lance have been regulars on the series “Moonshiners,” but the two were absent after the first half of the 2019 season. This has left some fans who enjoyed seeing them a little upset and they are wondering what has happened to the father and son.
However, moonshine itself is an illegal alcohol that is made and distributed (also illegally). As the camera crew with the Moonshiners is not helping them to actively evade police or to create the moonshine, they are merely documenting it.
Allow me to clarify: Plenty of legal distilleries distribute moonshine across the U.S. but making this liquor at home is illegal. It's worth noting that Digger and Mark work with a legal moonshine distilling company called Sugarland's Distilling Company, which is located in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Tickle lives in rural Pittsylvania County, Virginia, and is shown as working in the town of Gretna. In 2013, he was reported to be a union carpenter and to have "lived in the Washington area for two years recently as a top carpenter while building the popular Clyde's Restaurant near the Verizon Center downtown."
The series dramatizes their liquor production efforts, law-evading techniques and life. There have been claims by local officials that the show is not what it portrays to be. Virginia authorities have stated that no illegal liquor is actually being produced by the people depicted in the show.
POLK COUNTY, N.C. (FOX Carolina) - A beloved pet pooch who was featured on a Discovery television show sadly passed away Sunday. "Moonshiners" fans will remember Cutie Pie, a small dog rescued by docu-series regular Josh Owens from a local kill shelter in Polk County, North Carolina.
Josh Owens, who stars on Discovery Channel's "Moonshiners” docudrama show, said he is still in pain after his vintage motorcycle blew a tire and smacked a wall at a Florida race track on March 16.
The felon and family man tied the knot to a bail bondswoman. On Saturday, October 19, 2019, Moonshiner Steven Ray Tickle, a.k.a. “Tickle,” married sweetheart Carol Tickle and the theme — if you can believe it — was moonshine.

So why is moonshine still illegal? Because the liquor is worth more to the government than beer or wine. Uncle Sam takes an excise tax of $2.14 for each 750-milliliter bottle of 80-proof spirits, compared with 21 cents for a bottle of wine (of 14 percent alcohol or less) and 5 cents for a can of beer.
