What is Swamp People about?

Swamp People documents a group of alligator trappers during the Louisiana alligator season in various areas of South Louisiana each year.

The most famous hunting ground is the huge Atchafalaya Basin or Atchafalaya Swamp in south-central Louisiana. 

Its primary focus is on the river delta area in South Louisiana, home to a delicate, complex combination of swamps.

As the gang rely primarily on hunting alligators to make a living, they are often referred to as “primal hunters in the modern age.”
