How did Boss Hog get into mining?

Boss Hog in the late 1970’s
We all thought that Boss Hog had gone away - possibly for good, when Dukes of Hazzard left the air. Apparently, the wiley old man decided to come buy some mining operation in Utah. Recently, he’s been all over the news. Sure, he goes by a different name and he doesn’t wear a hat anymore… but Boss Hog can’t fool us that easily!
In these images you can see how age has affected the Boss man. In the modern image, you can see even Governor Huntsman is trying to place the “Haven’t I seen this guy before somewhere… and wasn’t he wearing a hat and commanding a guy named Bosco around…? hmm…”
