‘Swamp People’: Troy Landry Warns of ‘30 Days of Living Hell’ in Season 17 Premiere
Louisiana alligator hunters face volatile water levels after flash floods, racing to secure 900 prime gator tags amid intense competition, History Channel said.
- Troy Landry and the cast returned for Season 17 on the History Channel, airing recently as part of this year's premiere in Southern Louisiana.
- Flash-Floods from hundreds of miles north sent the bayou into a tailspin, producing volatile water levels, and a two-foot drop on day one forced crews to reset bait.
- Resetting bait and clearing high lines forced crews onto land and into brush, as Troy Landry rehung 90 lines and Cheyenne 'Pickle' Wheat urged using treble hooks to salvage catches.
- Some 350 prime gator tags are on the line as large landowners will only work with hunters who land the biggest beasts, raising stakes for LeRon Jones and Anthony 'Porkchop' Williams with 175 tags.
- Amid strained conditions, crews improvised with leftover kid's tubes and an old car battery, while Junior's Stage 4 cancer and Willie's recent bereavement added personal stakes.
