Deep in the heart of Louisiana lies America's largest swamp, a million miles of inhospitable bayous, marshes and wetlands where nature rules and humans struggle to tame it. Many of its inhabitants are the hardened descendants of French refugees who were forced out of Canada in the 18th century and settled in this harsh yet majestic environment. Follow these swampers through a time of year that is crucial to their survival – The 30-day alligator hunting season. In Season 3 of Swamp People, the Cajun hunters of the Louisiana swamp are in for a big surprise. After a few years of low gator prices, the price of alligator leather rebounds, bringing new tensions as outsiders from Texas cross into Louisiana and try to obtain hunting tags. The Cajuns respond as they always do – by relying on their traditional skills and the strong family bonds that stretch back to America's pioneer days.
