so what's going on bill oh got a game plan you know the camp my camp from last year yeah it's
been flooded for a while and it's been hard to get out there the water's receded i got a an idea
that maybe we ought to go out there and and hunt around that we kind of know that area pretty good
plus we did good there last year that's true yeah but i got a spot that's not flooded at all
my buddy found an old abandoned bomb shelter from the 1960s just covered in snakes and it's the best
place that i know to hunt so you guys want to go on a solo mission that's what you're saying
zach's from florida he knows about the area he got friends all over florida if he says
they got snakes at the bomb shelter that's where we're going i let them go bill let them go they
haven't been doing goofing off anyway they ain't catching no damn snake we doing all the work you
want to talk smack i bet we're gonna do better than y'all that's for sure well let's make a bet
hundred dollars to the biggest snake okay about a thousand dollars for the most because you
know who's gonna get the freaking money these snakes are big money a thousand dollars for the
most and a thousand dollars for the biggest deal yeah all day all right come on bruce
the teams will have until sunrise tomorrow to settle up three versus two count em up it's rock
and roll baby already we need to kick their ass on this bet hey good luck y'all you're gonna need it
troy talks so much trash to us i really want to win this bit
i will put banners on my truck and drive through pier park louisiana and tell everybody we caught
more snakes and bigger snakes than troy landry hope you brought your walkie boots bruce yep
the trail to this place it's right off the side of the road so bruce and i aren't gonna
need the swamp buggy we're just gonna walk into the trail a couple miles the bomb shelter should
be back there chock full of snakes keep your eyes peeled we could find snakes on the way
we got about a mile left to go before we hit that bombshell to brucey i'm following you dude during
the cold war in the early 1960s the soviet union began constructing ballistic missile sites in cuba
only 90 miles from the everglades in response nuclear bomb shelters were built in this area
long since abandoned they've become a breeding ground for pythons
