Bye the looks of some of that rusty sh...t they pull out, I do not think they worry too much about their guns!

From the time a gator is hooked, the sidekick picks up a rifle to shoot it, and it finally gets shot after all the staged tugging, Ive counted as many as four different rifles in the shooters hands...
The editors must think no one is paying attention. I have noticed that as well. I have seen that one of the boats had at least two separate gun cases. Backups, I suppose. It is entertaining to watch though. I like the two brothers....  Ditto on this...

I've been watching old episodes on netflix (too cheap and stubborn to pay for cable...) so some of these characters must be new.
I know I am getting tempted to buy a SS marlin 60 after watching the older shows. The one thing I'm amazed is seeing Juniour pulling out a very nice in shape ruger 77 w/ a leupold scope occasionally, but everything else is just rusted and nasty.
Other than that, How was the show Mrs. Lincoln?

I like the weight "estimates" the announcer provides for the various gators. He might be the same guy who invented the Pennsylvania "deer-weight tape."

Yea... those 600 pound gators being pulled in by 2 guys leaning over the side don't seem realistic for jon boat hull designs... But maybe those LA guys are a lot tougher than me and my MN walleye boat ;-)

When I saw the two women pulling the "800 pound" gator into their boat, I was thinking either those women are really, really strong, or the conversion works out something like 800 pound Cajun = 200 pound Imperial.
Even though I only get cable when travelling, swamp people is probably my favorite show. The violate pretty much every rule of safe boating and gun handling, but are very entertaining.

I was thinking the entire gun had to be submerged to fire, with the air being trapped in the barrel I figured it would cause the gun to blow up? Learn something new.

The two women have no business calling themselves gator hunters. Why, on one episode I heard the one with the gator on the line telling the one with the gun to take her time and wait for the right shot.  It's almost as bad as that new crew on (we never use an) Ax Men where the guys treat each other in a civil manner.

didn't one of the guys actually shoot his son on accident? I think it was willie and junior. IIRC, Willie got zapped by some bone "shrapnel" from a gator's skull. Junior's a fairly smooth looking guy. Willie, on the other hand, looks just like his Mom...  And she's a hard looking ole Cajun gal, probably tough as nails. She could probably whoop Junior and Willie...  DF

One can only speculate on the joy that Willie was in the classroom.

DF I thnk you may have stumbled onto a business opportunity here for single guys going to LA and hoping to get some action... You could serve as a "guide" and " wingman" to keep them from tangling with something they can't handle!

Like the show, but the way the rifles are neglected and mistreated rubs me up the wrong way. Applying a bit of oil isn't that hard, and, disposable or not, you get longer life and reliability out of your firearm.

Now
junior is toting a mini-14 with scope. Looks out of place compared to the other rust traps.

Suprised they haven't blown up any of the guns by pushing the barrel into the water and firing? I'm sure its a matter of time. Good show though. I like listening to Troy. Shooot, shooot.... shooot!
