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.

Don't Miss Season 2 Finale Tonight! 7/21/2011
Sadly this will be the last episode of the season.. :*( Im sorry to see them go but excited to see whats to come for SEASON 3! As you all know gator season starts September 1st.
Don't miss the finale tonight on History Channel!
Swamp Showdown
Premiere Date: 07/21/2011
It's the final day of the season, and hunters are in a hurry to fill their remaining tags before time runs out. As Troy and Junior head to run lines for the final time, the bayou is buzzing. Locals are reporting sightings of a giant gator in the area. Both men set their sights on the beast, to win bragging rights in a bayou showdown. Just a few miles away, Junior and Willie are equally determined. As the only crew that uses treble hooks to hunt in open water, they believe they have the advantage. Across the swamp, Joe and Tommy are feeling a different kind of pressure. A storm blows in off the Gulf...and rain soaks their supply of bullets. To make matters worse, they're too far out in the bayou to head back to the dock for more. They will have to make every shot count. Down the bayou, R.J. and Jay Paul are focused on only one thing: tagging out. The boys are in good position to finish by day's end, with sunny skies and smooth water ahead.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water
What an episode last night of Swamp People! I hope you all got to see it and if you didn't, skip on over to History.com and watch the full episode real quick, you'll be glad you did.
The Guist brothers found their meal right off their back porch and made squirrel and dumplings which was their fathers recipe. Sounds delicious doesn't it? Okay, okay... Maybe it isn't for everyone (especially me), but the Guist brothers seem to love it. I still kind felt bad for the one squirrel they shot out of a tree who was eating starting to eat a nut when he met his maker.
We also got to see and alligator rip a gun right from Joe's temporary helper Tim. When will these gators learn... Don't bite the hand that feeds you, or in their case, don't bite the gun that kills you. Poor Tim had to take one for the team and get in the murky waters of the swamp to retrieves Joe's fathers gun.
Troy started out thinking it may be a bad day with water lilies over running his sweet spot but it proved to be untrue and his day turned around quickly and he ended the day with a boat full of gators and if you saw most of the gators he had weren't babies one topped out at 12 foot 7 inches. What a gator! It must have been that lucky blue shirt he is always wearing. Keep up the momentum for this season Troy!
Tommy learned being the captain of his own boat and being left to catch alligators alone was no easy task. After the motor in his boat over heated he admitted defeat to Joe and Joe gladly accepted him back in the boat with him. I hope Tommy can become fully dedicated to the task, in return he will become a better alligator hunter if he does.
All in all it was a very eventful episode. I know it's ending soon but you know they will be filming for next season here shortly. The September alligator season is closely approaching!

Tonight on Swamp People
Two Captains, One Family
After starting the season with more tags than anyone, Troy's ahead of the game, and on pace to tag out by season's end. But as Troy's crew approaches today's hot spot, things don't look promising. The landscape has changed drastically and water lilies are now clogging the entire area. Across the bayou, Joe's hunting with his new helper, and so far, the team is working well. Timmy is a pistol marksman, and his work ethic is steadily impressing Joe. Only a few miles away, Tommy is again captaining his own boat, trying to fill Joe's tags and prove he's an elite hunter. Today Tommy is intent to get down to business. But soon, engine troubles threaten to derail the day and Tommy's tenure as captain could be in jeopardy. Deep in the swamp, Glenn and Mitchell have a little time on their hands. For these brothers, that means one thing--they're ready to hunt. They're intent to cook up their Dad's Famous Squirrel and Dumplings, so they'll need to bag a mess for their pot.

New Episode tonight everyone! Are you ready?
It's Personal:
Liz Cavalier has been a solid helper on Troy Landry's boat, but with the season more than halfway done, Liz wants to prove to her boss that she's more. Armed with years of experience captaining her own boat, she decides to step up, offering some of her own hunting ideas to Troy. Junior Edwards has trusted his son Willie with more responsibility. Today, Willie heads out on his own once again, and this time, he's hunting solo. He's on the lookout for the big gator that will make his reputation...but tracking it down won't be an easy task. When R.J. and Jay Paul's lines come under attack by a vicious cannibal gator, it becomes a personal challenge. R.J. will need to use every trick he's got to catch this menace before it stalls his season. An infestation of feral hogs is plaguing Southern Louisiana, and one large hog is encroaching on Terral's property. Feral hogs will charge humans on site--so Terral hopes to take care of the problem before someone gets hurt.

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.

New Episode Coming on Tonight
If you missed last weeks episode you will get a chance to watch it again tonight right before the newest episode.
Last weeks episode we got to get a look at the newest crew member of Troy Landry's.
Liz Cavalier seemed to be a little nervous with her first shots but made a quick recovery and ended up joking around with Troy. She may be a woman but that doesn't hinder her ability in any way to give the men a run for their money when it comes to gator hunting. Tune in tonight to watch the episode. Followed by this weeks newest episode Hot Pursuit.
First Mates:
This season, Troy has been hunting without his longtime helper Clint, and the boys have struggled, falling behind last year's pace. Determined to get back on track, Troy enlists the help of a local sharpshooter...a lady gator hunter named Liz Cavalier. Renegade Gator Hunter Bruce Mitchell hunts alone...that is if you don't count his partner/dog Tyler. Bruce and Tyler began the season solidly, racking up the gators and filling tags. It's business as usual--until, Tyler suddenly goes missing. For Joe and Tommy, the season was off to a strong start...but then, Tommy's behavior disrupted their momentum. Now, a monster gator is popping their lines, and the boys are determined to get him. As the sun sets, Terral and Trapper Agent Corey Hunt are on the trail of a large gator that's been menacing the locals. The boys scour the area to relocate the gator, and to rid the threat...before some one gets hurt.
After last weeks episode be sure to watch Hot Pursuit and come back to share with us your favorite part of the episode and what you have enjoyed about the season so far.
Last weeks episode we got to get a look at the newest crew member of Troy Landry's.
Liz Cavalier seemed to be a little nervous with her first shots but made a quick recovery and ended up joking around with Troy. She may be a woman but that doesn't hinder her ability in any way to give the men a run for their money when it comes to gator hunting. Tune in tonight to watch the episode. Followed by this weeks newest episode Hot Pursuit.
First Mates:
This season, Troy has been hunting without his longtime helper Clint, and the boys have struggled, falling behind last year's pace. Determined to get back on track, Troy enlists the help of a local sharpshooter...a lady gator hunter named Liz Cavalier. Renegade Gator Hunter Bruce Mitchell hunts alone...that is if you don't count his partner/dog Tyler. Bruce and Tyler began the season solidly, racking up the gators and filling tags. It's business as usual--until, Tyler suddenly goes missing. For Joe and Tommy, the season was off to a strong start...but then, Tommy's behavior disrupted their momentum.

Some people shouldn't carry a gun....
If you caught tonights episode you witnessed all of Junior's bad shots. Clipping Willie under the eye and his arm along with sending shrapnel to their other comrades hand. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, Junior's weakness is gun shot aim. Luckily for Willie his mom is the on call doctor and quickly helps him get the lead out from under his eye, but after the attempt on getting the chunk out of his arm he has enough and opts for waiting to remove it.
Poor Troy isn't having much luck and his gator season isn't looking to bright. Troy seems to think it's because Clint isn't helping him anymore and tries to win Clint over but Clint kindly refuses due to him having to work on getting his own business started. Troy was very understanding, but it is a let down for him because he has a ton of tags to fill before the end of the season.
I sincerely hope they can get their season going with no hitches but only time will tell and if you know anything about alligator hunting you know time isn't a luxury these swamp men have.

The New People of Swamp People
There are a new bunch of swamp people appearing on the show and all of them are not just out to shoot a gator. One in particular Terral Evans is all about trapping alligators that become a nuisance to nearby residents.If you saw tonights episode he was after a cannibal gator that was eating up the other gators, which doesn't seem to be totally uncommon aft Troy Landry caught his cannibal gator last season.
So who have we seen new to the season and who is to come?
First up we have Terral Evans, as I mentioned earlier he isn't in this to kill the gator, he is more of a gator wrestling guru. Amazing how he just reaches into that murky swamp water and pulls out a gator like its nothing. He does this all in Slidell, LA
(where I lived if you didn't know *wink*). On tonights episode they just about got pulled in the water by one angry gator but thankfully Terral was there to save the day, catch the gator and later release him in a more remote part of the swamp land.

Terral Evans stands 6'4" and weighs in at around 240 pounds. Terral is a swamper in every way—a man who loves the area around Pearl River. While the other swampers are busy hunting gators, Terral is busy moving them. Terral is a gator tagger working with Mississippi Fisheries and Wildlife to track and tag gators. If a gator is causing problems, everyone around knows to call Terral. He does his work at night, snatching gators barehanded, right out of the water.
Another Alligator hunter is RJ and his son Jay Paul.
R.J. Molinere Jr. is a Native American, and he is powerful in both body and spirit. Like his Houmas ancestors, he makes a living off the land, hunting with his son, Jay Paul. R.J. raised Jay Paul to follow in his footsteps—both on and off the swamp. They are a formidable new team on the bayou and they're ready to give anyone a run for their money.
Still to see is Glenn and Mitchell Guist. If you were to picture a swamp man in your head I am pretty confident it would look like these two guys.
Brothers Glenn and Mitchell Guist were born, raised and still live in their grandparents' house on Conway Bayou. They're master hunters, taught to live off the land by their father and so close neighbors call them by one name: "glenmitchell." If the fish in Conway Bayou aren't biting, the Guists aren't bothered—any bush meat will do, and that means squirrel to nutria to wild boar could be on the menu.
Also to see is Liz Cavalier, the only female alligator hunter on Swamp People. She is a modern day Calamity Jane for sure.
There aren't many Cajun lady gator hunters on the swamp. Taught by her father, Liz has been hunting gator since she was a little girl, using the same type of gun fired by Annie Oakley. An ace shot, Liz prides herself on being "one of the boys." She baits the hooks, pulls the lines and throws a knife with the best of them.
With the new hunters along with the old this is sure to be a great season!

Pierre Part gets put on the map thanks to Troy
Troy Landry of Pierre Part, Louisiana gains celebrity status in south Louisiana.
Landry is one of several stars on The History Channel's new series. "Swamp People" is a documentary television series that follows Cajuns living in the swamps of the Atchafalaya River Basin. The series premiered August 22.
Landry said the people from The History Channel first went to Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries looking for information on alligator hunting.
"When they finished getting their information, they asked the guys if they knew anyone who they could go out in a boat with and take pictures of the swamp," Landry said.
One of Landry's friends works for Wildlife and Fisheries and gave the representatives his information.
"He called me right after they left his office and said 'man, t-buddy I hope you not mad at me, but I gave some people your name and phone number,'" Landry said. "I wanted to help out my buddy, so I figured I would do this favor for him."
Landry said he had no idea that The History Channel was planning on making a TV series.
"The more I talked to them, the more I realized that they wanted to make a show out of this and pay me for it," Landry said. "I said well shit, I had to catch the alligators anyhow, so why not let them help me to pay for it?"
Since its premiere, "Swamp People" has been the talk of not only south Louisiana, but also the whole nation. The show has set the ratings record for The History Channel.
"I really never thought the show would be as popular as it is," Landry said. "I figured the little kids would like it, but even the old people like it. The kids, the momma, the daddy, the maw maw and the paw paw all like the show. Everyone I talk to loves it. It shocked me. I didn't think a lot of people would like it this much."
Landry says that things have definitely changed since the beginning of the show.
"I used to be able to go to the grocery store and back in five minutes," Landry said. "Now it takes me an hour and a half. Everybody I meet wants to talk about the show and how much they like it. I really enjoy it, though."
Landry's favorite part about the show is the attention that he gets from the children.
"They actually love the show," Landry said. "When I meet them somewhere, the first thing they say is 'Is that the alligator man? Are you the man on TV?' Sometimes I kid with them and say 'Oh no, that's my brother!' but they know better."
The first season of "Swamp People" focused solely on alligator hunting. Landry said that The History Channel plans on mixing things up with other subjects such as crawfishing in the next seasons.
Landry often says in the show that he "lives off of the land." He is currently building a new house for his family that contains no drywall. The interior of the house is made entirely of salvaged wood that he collected from the swamp himself.
Landry says that he plans to be a part of the show for as long as he can. "I hope they like me being on the show, so as long as they want me there, I guess I'll be on it."
