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!
