Alligator Hunting Tips

What you see on swamp people is fake.

According to swamp people:

Set smelly bait
Pull up line
Make gator thrash for dramatic effect
Shoot
Pull in boat
profit

I guess I will also need to make sure I do not load the gun before tree shaker starts thrashing and SHTF.

So I talked to a guy in Dallas last week from Louisiana, and he was telling me that cast members who have left the show did so because of the drama the producers want to create to make the show seem dangerous. I figured as much.

The worse it smells the more they'll love the bait. Don't go out there if you don't know what you're doing we don't want to have to make a thread about you in when you go. BTW, don't be like those people on Swamp Ppl or Gator Boys.

Don't load gun
Use a secret family recipe for the stink

It's work if you have more than a few tags and gators are fricking nasty

Nascar, got a few leads on some spots at Caddo that have a few roaming the area.

Good idea about the treble hook and snagging

I will have this on GoPro

A gator that ways 150lbs somehow weighs 750lbs on TV

It's always funny to me how the announcer talks about the "beast", and once they shoot it, one of them pulls is in the boat with one hand.
