Swampers across the basin face a ticking clock this season. With Atlantic and Gulf waters at record-high temperatures, the threat of massive hurricanes looms large. These storms can decimate entire communities in minutes, and for the hunters, they could cut the season short, jeopardizing their livelihoods. To succeed, the hunters must move quickly, taking down as many gators as possible while the weather allows. With their livelihoods on the line and the constant threat of a storm-shortened season, every hunter knows the pressure is on. It’s a battle against time, weather, and nature itself in the unforgiving swamps.
