YouTube

Mayo joined YouTube in November of 2013. He raised his subscribers as a prank videos creator. Along with that, he uploaded content relating to college humor and also portrayed a French character.

“I jumped on the prank bandwagon at first. That was like my whole…I had this French character called Ze Oil Boy and it was this totally ridiculous, comical, college humor, Van Wilder-style comedy that I ran up until about 700,000 subscribers when YouTube’s ‘Adpocalypse’ hit and the algorithm changed,” Mayo shared.

‘Southland Bounty Hunters’

After YouTube reinvented its algorithmic suggestions, Mayo’s prank videos viewership decreased. As a result, he decided to change the theme of his channel. As a result of that decision, he introduced the Southland Bounty Hunters series.

The series follows Mayo’s girlfriend, Kayla, serving as a camerawoman for the video in which Mayo acts as a fugitive recovery agent or bounty hunter. He goes on to repossess illegal properties and meanwhile also tracks down fugitives who have skipped bail.

Eventually, Mayo’s popularity peaked when he collaborated with a fellow YouTube star Bounty Hunter D in 2017 for his show Southland Bounty Hunters. Together, they narrated perilous bounty hunting circumstances, which in turn gripped a lot of fans.

Mayo went on to achieve over 1 million followers not shortly after the collaboration. In addition, he invited other YouTube personalities to join him on the show, including AT, Shaundra, and Big E.

Then, in 2020 Mayo took a year off from creating content and returned in April 2021 with his new team. His channel, in July 2021, has collected over 9.5 million subscribers with over 1 billion views.

In addition, Mayo has also created a series called DBSO, in which he plays the sheriff of an Oregon town.

Is Patty Mayo a Real Bounty Hunter or Fake?

When Mayo’s show was getting attention from the audience, many people questioned if he was an official member of law enforcement. 

The Verdict

Mayor denied the rumor and clarified that the people on the videos were all paid actors who worked to make it as realistic as possible.

Mayo also added that they always remembered to stated that they were not real sheriff officers if someone got confused.

Mayo added, “The intent is to create a production, it’s not to commit a crime. And so that’s why before we even purchased the cars for this show or any equipment, we sat down with the police department and said, this is what we’d like to do. What do you think?”

In addition to that, the Sheriff Department of Oregon, where the majority of Mayo’s shooting is done, made a formal statement concerning the department and Mayo’s videos.

“We are aware of the YouTuber Patty Mayo and his activities in Deschutes County. Mr. Mayo is not a member of law enforcement, nor affiliated in any way with any sheriff’s office in Oregon. He is an actor, and the uniform he wears is a costume. Additionally, every person featured in his videos are part of his production crew or are paid actors/actresses…Deschutes County Sheriff’s Office has also expressed their concern and strongly encouraged him and other actors not to be in public locations in their costumes.” 

Further, Oregon State does not consider Mayo’s impersonation of police officers, for the purpose of the video, a crime.
