The Gator Cannon !

I was just watching one of my favorite shows, Swamp People, and the Houma guys, RJ and JPaul were hunting a cannibal gator, hooked it and the narrator says he shoots it with his favorite gator gun, a .17 HMR

...so the .17 HMR really can take any size game whoooo-hoooo

I'm waiting for one of them coon-asses to jump in the water and whack one of those pond lizards with a ball-peen hammer!

On one of the episodes, Bruce was shown in the water and shooting a gator with a North American Arms mini revolver. That was BS. You could tell it was a staged set up.

And some of them do too!!

I do enjoy seeing how those folks live & make a living. It's an interesting show for sure I think.

I liked the show a couple weeks ago where EElizzabet & Troy went after T-Rex. Then made up some T-Rex jumbalaya with him. When EElizabet showed up without her hat & hunting clothes on she sure didn't look the same.

Yeah have you noticed some of the gators the narrator says, Troy has bagged a 700 pound monster then they haul it in like nothing and I am looking at it thinking, 700 pounds

HaMeR · June 10, 2011, 08:26:36 PM

Yeah. And last episode where 145# soaking wet Willie hauled that big ol 11 footer in the boat all by himself too.

Now I have NO doubt them boys are all man & they certainly have a technique for loading them but some of those gators make you wonder how one person loaded them. Still an interesting show.

KySongDog · June 10, 2011, 10:16:07 PM

Did you notice that the T-rex gator that Troy and Lizbeth loaded in the boat already had a tag on its tail.

Not saying they didn't catch the gator, but they staged that load him in the boat footage.

FinsnFur · June 10, 2011, 11:57:21 PM

Cut it out...your ruining it for me

HaMeR · June 11, 2011, 06:33:43 AM

I didn't notice that Semp.

nastygunz · June 11, 2011, 08:55:44 AM

I think Troy is getting sweet on Lizbeth

...how about dem 2 brothers...I forget their names but man they look like they been in the swamp a longggggggggggg time...still really like the show..one of the better ones I think
