Can You Believe We Are On Season 6!?!?
Hard to believe we are on season six already. It doesn't seem like that long ago when I started this blog but looking now, I realize its been 5 years since I started writing on here. Time goes by so quick!
So Who is the one everyone here has their eye on this season? You know me, I'm a die hard Troy Landry fan. What can I say, Im a girl that likes a guy that requires subtitles.:)
Seriously though, Troy portrays the kind of man that is really down to earth, someone that cares deeply for his family and his friends and he's all around fun. So keep it up Troy, choot em'!
Are there any new faves? Has any of my non Louisiana residents got up enough nerve to take on the swamps for themselves yet? I hear people talk about how they are planning on it, but has anyone actually done it yet?
What did everyone think of Mondays episode? Are they acting crazy or do they know what they're doing? They all take daring steps to ensure a good payout, but is the dare worth the reward.

A Glimpse of What's to Come in Tomorrow's Episode- Deadly Skies
We don't want to miss tomorrows episode. This one sounds like something not to be missed. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow night at 9/8c on the History Channel.
Here's a snippet of tomorrow's episode.
DEADLY SKIES:
As a severe storm nears Southern Louisiana, the hunters are preparing for the worst. With his sharpshooter Liz still recovering from an injury, Troy and Jacob pit themselves against the gnarly weather. Troy uses an old Cajun strategy, employing a special bait to lure the gators despite the storm. Joe and Tommy are not on the same page. Tommy is looking forward to a day off, but Joe has a different work ethic. Joe is determined to run their lines in any weather, and despite protests, he drags Tommy along with him. R.J. and Jay Paul hunt in territory close to the Gulf--which means the winds are blowing even stronger. But Jay Paul isn't worried. Native Americans put a lot of stock in their dreams...and Jay Paul dreamed about catching a large gator in the storm. While the rest of the swampers head to their lines, Junior and Willie are taking theirs down. Junior is on pace to tag out in time, and he doesn't believe that fighting the storm is worth the money or effort.

No new episodes tonight
Now we are in the month of October and sadly that means the end of the alligator hunting season and the end of the Swamp People season. But if you have missed some episodes watch the History Channel Saturday 10/09/10 at 10/9C to catch up on the episodes you missed. I am looking forward to a new season of Swamp People, I hope History Channel keeps this show on for many many seasons to come.
UPDATE:
While watching IRT all day to day I saw commercials of Swamp People and thought I heard them say there will be new episodes sometime in October but I can't find any info on the History Channels site to back that up. Once I find some info out about if there will be or not, I will update when necessary. Here's to hoping that they will continue on with Swamp People, seems like it just started, hate to see it end so soon.

Swamp People - Life in Louisiana
When the History Channel created this show they really chose the runts out of the litter to follow, but who else would hunt alligators for a living anyway? Not trying to be mean by saying that, just saying that what you see as coonass, cajun, southern boys, well, they are not all like that, just a few here and there, not everyone in this humid region is like that though. But it still can be quite the cultural shock if you have never been here before. I know it was for me, I have lived in this area for about 4 years now. Moved down here from a fairly large city in Oregon, it was like moving to another country for me.
CULTURAL SHOCK HAS SET IN
Well, the very first thing you will encounter when visiting the South, home of the Swamp People is the accent. It is one of the more harder things to overcome when visiting. My first encounter was at a McDonalds drive-thru. For the life of me I just could not understand what the woman was saying through the speaker, apparently when you ask for a coke down here they will in turn ask you what kind, so 1st tip, when ordering make sure you are being very specific in your ordering techniques and God forbid if you ask for a pop, they will look at you like you are an extraterrestrial creature from another planet. I have put my "pop" phrases behind me and have moved on to something not so complex to order, like tea for instance. The accents are definitely hard to get use to, Louisiana in particular as you have seen depicted on the show. It would be so awesome if people here came with built in Closed Captioning, would make my life so much easier.
The Foods of Louisiana
Another thing that takes some getting use to is the food. I am a person that refuses to eat seafood, I don't know what it is, I just hate it, the smell, the texture, the way it all looks, just so unappetizing to me. I am a very picky eater so living here is especially hard for me, if you too are a picky eater tread lightly and learn to love fast food and cooking at home. Everyone around here eats fish of all kinds, rabbit (gross),turtle(ewwww),frog legs(.....),and of course alligator meat. Some of the more well known dishes are gumbo,jambalaya,oysters, fried catfish, and of course fried chicken (Popeye's says it all). A family event here usually revolves around a crawfish boil with spicy red potatoes and corn on the cob all with a kick, everyone cooks with hot sauce, if you don't have a bottle in your fridge how dare you.
Some of my favorite New Orleans style deserts would have to be Beignets and Pralines, if you have never tried them you are really missing out. If you are a coffee drinker and love a bold blend, a New Orleans style chicory is a perfect choice, it is VERY strong.
It's Getting HOT!
Remember last weeks episode where they had to wet a blanket and put over the alligators? Well, that's because of the heat here in Louisiana. They said on Swamp People they had to do that to keep the meat from going bad.
If you can't stand the heat, then this certainly isn't the place for you. I know in some places in the US you don't even need to own an air conditioner for the summer months, well I can assure you it is not like that here. Everyone has an air conditioner and anyone with a porch has outside ceiling fans attached to their porch. It really is that hot. Not only is it hot but boy is it humid! Go outside and you will instantly feel your skin getting sticky and feel your hair become damp and if you are wearing glasses or sunglasses, expect a light fog.
I know this post isn't exactly inspiring, but I really think everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime. Try some Gumbo, eat a beignet, drink a cup of chicory and sit outside and enjoy the hot weather. If Swamp People can do it, so can you!

Swamp People
So now there is a reality show on the History Channel called Swamp People. This show depicts life as an alligator hunter in the swamps of Louisiana. So I bet your wondering, why would you hunt an alligator? I asked the same thing a few years back before I moved to swamp territory. Simply put, they hunt alligators to lower the population, for the alligator meat (yes, people actually eat the stuff. Supposedly it tastes like chicken), and they hunt and sell them for the alligators skin. For one month out of the year people are allowed to hunt alligators. The state of Louisiana issues tags for the hunters, every alligator killed no matter the weight or length has to be tagged, once you are out of tags that's the end of the season for you. The heavier and longer the alligator is, the more it is worth. It was said on the first airing of the show that a hunter can make half a years salary from one month out hunting alligators.
Now you're probably sitting around wondering how to get your hands on a boat and some swamp get-up, but don't go dashing to the swamps yet. This definitely isn't a job for everyone. Alligator hunting is very dangerous but is also needed to keep the population down. If it wasn't for the hunters places like, Florida, Louisiana and Mississippi would be over ran with these sharp toothed prowlers. Like I said though not a job for everyone, you need to have your wits about you when wrestling one of these creatures, watch out for the strong chompers and whipping tale, they can be huge and definitely angry when you enter their domain. Don't get knocked out of your boat either, then you will be facing alligator infested waters along with all the venomous and deadly water snakes. Hey, nobody said making money was easy.
If you saw the first episode of Swamp people you caught how a father and step-son exited their boat to find the hooked alligator, the step son went to shoot the alligator as the alligator was racing towards them, he fired and missed and fired again only to discover there were no bullets left. Now that right there is a situation you don't want to find yourself in. Facing an alligator without something to defend yourself with is a sure fire way to get really hurt or possible killed.
So how do they hook them? Well, alligators love rotting meat, yep good old rotting, stinking, raw meat. The smellier the better. An alligator can get a whiff of the rotting meat from quite a ways away and come right to it, when they go to swallow the meat, they get hooked. When the hunters make their way back to the traps they will pull the lines while someone else is standing by ready to shoot. A sure way to kill a gator is a shot right square on the head. Hey, I never said it would be pretty either.
To obtain a license to hunt alligators will cost $25 for a resident of Louisiana and $150 for non Louisiana residents. As found on the Louisiana Alligator Advisory Council site states:
An alligator hunter license applicant must submit the following:
There are a reported 1.5 million alligators located in the state of Louisiana. Now you see the need for harvesting, right? Louisiana alligator hunters currently harvest over 33,000 wild alligators and farmers harvest over 280,000 farm-raised alligators annually. Raw meat and hide values are estimated at over $10 million for the wild harvest and over $33 million for the farm harvest in 2005. (Note these values consist of raw meat and hides only and are not reflective of hide values after tanning and product manufacturing, values associated with jobs, tourism, economy, etc. or egg values.)
There is way more to it then what the show Swamp People depicts. It is definitely a good show just to give you an idea of what life is like in the swamp lands of Louisiana.

To obtain a license to hunt alligators will cost $25 for a resident of Louisiana and $150 for non Louisiana residents. As found on the Louisiana Alligator Advisory Council site states:
An alligator hunter license applicant must submit the following:
- a completed alligator hunter license application form including the hunter’s information (name, dob, ss#, etc.),
- proof of property ownership (tax receipts or bill of sale) containing Parish, Township, Range, Section and acreage information,
- a map outlining the property to be hunted, and
- a landowner’s signature indicating permission for the hunter to harvest alligators on the property.
- If applicable a legal alligator hunting lease may be submitted.
People not possessing or having permission to hunt alligators on property can harvest alligators as an alligator sport hunter while accompanied by a guide. A guide must be an alligator hunter possessing tags. Alligator Sport Hunter License cost $25 for Louisiana residents and $150 for non-residents.
There are a reported 1.5 million alligators located in the state of Louisiana. Now you see the need for harvesting, right? Louisiana alligator hunters currently harvest over 33,000 wild alligators and farmers harvest over 280,000 farm-raised alligators annually.

There is way more to it then what the show Swamp People depicts. It is definitely a good show just to give you an idea of what life is like in the swamp lands of Louisiana.
