 Season One (2010)

Alligator season in Louisiana begins on the first Wednesday in September and lasts 30 days. In this time limit, many of the alligator hunters, following a tradition dating back 300 years, earn most of their yearly income in a high risk vocation dependent on experience and the whims of weather within strict regulation by wildlife laws. Hunters are each issued a certain number of tags that must be attached to their kills; once they are out of tags, they can no longer kill any more alligators during the season.

 Season Two (2011)

Season Two saw the show move from its old time slot on Sunday Nights to the 10PM slot on Thursday nights. The season was met with great success and record breaking viewers for the History channel.^[2]
