Swamp People

[LMITOUT]

Anybody watching this?

It's on the History Channel.

[jentz]

Sure but I've seen this one on now 3 times.Last Thurs I think Thurs.Last night and now tonight.Keep expecting a new show????

[walleyeking19]

Those guys are crazy. there is no way in heck i would ever do that for a living

[LMITOUT]

They're replaying last week's episode (which I missed) right now and the new one comes up at 9pm tonight.

I don't know if crazy describes it. Wow, that is something else. The one crew brought in $1400 for the day's catch, one of which was 12'2" long!

Wonder if that one boat is going to hook up with "Big Head".

[mrklean]

i thought it was a cool show crazy to see how many gators they take but man the gators keep coming and coming

[zamboni]

History Channels got some great shows on now. American Pickers and Pawn Stars are awesome. Have to check this out sometime.

BTW- Hardcore Pawn on TruTv is HORRIBLE, Pawn Stars is 150% better

[harvey lee]

I have done many dumb things but chasing gators like the swamp people do,

No Thanks.

[LMITOUT]

OK, Bruce and his Hostess cake eating dog is a little.....odd.

[motley man]

Not like the people that let dogs lick their face.

[deadeye]

Very entertaining show for sure. I was lmao with the Guy giving his dog snack cakes.

That stuff cracks me up for some reason. Idk why but for some reason a couple of those guys remind me of some of my french canadian cousins but in the south instead of north. Weird.

I guess I am less scared of gators than moose so I would try going with for a hunt. Maybe I would take something better than a .22 though.

[Bigbartguy]

I saw it for the first time last night and found it really interesting. Hope they keep it on

[Daze Off]

Can't figure out for the life of me why they would not use handgun instead of rifles to kill the gators...would seem a lot easier but what is "easy" to people who do that for a living?

[TruthWalleyes]

I watched "Big Head" episode once, waiting for some new episodes...

Couple of idiots for sure! one guy forgot the bait & didn't load the gun, but pulled the trigger 6 times!

[LMITOUT]

I think that even before bait I'd make sure I had a fully functioning firearm in the boat before traveling in those waters!

[Get'n Jiggy]

I had a littile experiance with guys like these in Florida. Thy usually had a bottle of Black Jack or Wild Turkey to pass at the boat ramp.

[dfv87]

Ah... firearms unloaded or loaded... you don't know, Gators, big and mean! Boats that look like they could sink at any moment and a bottle of wild turkey just to keep it interesting...

God I love this show!

[spearchucker]

I think that even before bait I'd make sure I had a fully functioning firearm in the boat before traveling in those waters!

12Ga buckshot and not a .22.

[student]

I imagine they want to make sure that the hide is not full of holes so that is why they use .22 cal. Not sure why they wouldn't use a handgun versus the rifle but it could have something to do with local handgun laws.

I thought the same thing about Bruce at first but after they revealed more about him, he seems like a real go getter.

Pretty neat show....

[pureinsanity]

Its the cost of the bullets. .22 is cheap. All it takes is a well placed shot and the gator is done. Thats the only reason they use the .22 is the cost savings.

50 rounds of any caliber hand guns is roughly about 20-25$ even for the cheap stuff. you can get a brick of a 1000 rds for .22 at that price.

[Bigbartguy]

I loved that one guy out with his son. His Cajun accent was so thick it was tough "unstadin wha heh azz tyin t'shay".

[pureinsanity]

I think there is only one guy on that show who doesnt have a speech problem

[mrklean]

its not a speech problem its there accent, if we went down there they would think we have a speech problem

[smnduck]

It's Deadliest Catch crossed with Deliverence.

[LMITOUT]

its not a speech problem its there accent, if we went down there they would think we have a speech problem

Yep.

Now Swamp Loggers on the other hand..... that might be an IQ problem.

[smnduck]

I think the accent,IQ,speach problem are closely tied.
