Swamp People 16

TX Time: 20h15
Genre: Docu-Reality, Wildlife
Swamp People is the story of the American spirit, of the lost art of doing things the right way and of the unyielding desire to preserve a dying way of life from the encroaching modern world.
Deep in southern Louisiana, there are nearly one million acres of flooded forest, marshland and bayous - the Atchafalaya Swamp - which is unlike any place else in the United States.
It's a hidden world, a place where nature still rules - one of the least-known territories in the United States.
But a hardy breed of "Swamp People" know the secrets of this dangerous mysterious territory.
Most are Cajun descendants of French-speaking settlers who came from Canada in the 1700s - and their way of life has been fundamentally the same for generations.
They are America's forgotten pioneers.
As nature exerts its power across all of America and the globe, the swampers of Louisiana face a brand-new challenge.
Some 350 prime gator tags are at stake for next season - but to get them, gator hunters must compete now.
It's renewal time for tags in Louisiana, which are usually granted in five or 10-year deals.
This year, the large landowners who hold the tags have made it clear that they're only willing to work with hunters who land the biggest beasts.
Future tags will go to the swampers with the biggest average catch.
It's all on the line for our swampers, who will go all-in to secure their future and safeguard their families.
And there's a bigger potential prize: whoever lands these prime tags could even dethrone the king of the swamp.
Who will win? Who will lose? And who will get pushed out?
