In the episodes, we get to see a fiercely independent group of people as they fight for their survival in the harsh condition of the swamps and also prepare for the alligator hunting season.

In one of the recent episodes, an experienced hunter is seen making weapon for his elder son. He makes special types of hooks that are ideal for the hunting of a particular creature that lives in water. A number of unique and eye-opening customs of the Swamp People are shown in the show that makes it a must watch for the TV audience.
