as the sun rises over the southern everglades here we are buddy king of the swamp troy landry
his son chase and local snake expert bill booth get an early start for a grueling day's hunt
i got a mission that's deeper and farther than we've ever been towards the boundary yeah this
area that i'm thinking of there's a lot of pythons that are moving into these areas because they're
so remote and nobody's out there trying to hunt them or catch them the snakes are moving to places
to get away from hunting pressure and we got to move with them absolutely
but it's a long ride and not many people are willing to do that i've been hunting this area
for a lot of years and and i know to get the big ones you got to go where they're at and it's
a long ride out there you gotta travel far and that's where we're headed the everglades stretch
over one and a half million acres making it the largest wilderness east of the mississippi river
reaching the most remote sections can take a full day by boat or buggy i personally think there's
some big snakes out there and and it's going to take a while to get to it that's the only
problem go the extra mile you get the you get the result oh yeah no guts no glory i just hope
we're going that far out on the buggy i hope we can make it huh i think we can make it out
there it's going to be rough though i'm all for it dude the snakes in this area are going to be way
bigger because there's a lot of game a lot of prey for the snakes and they haven't been hunted we're
getting away from other hunters so this is gonna be a haven a snake heaven got a full tank good
to go yep full tank i don't want no damn excuse once we get five miles back there that boy you
forgot to put the air in the tires and fill up the tank no all right buddy let's do it get michael
