Every Alligator Hunter in Swamp People Season 15
Troy Landry
Troy Landry is best known to alligator hunters as the "King of the Swamp," and he, alongside his sons, has been part of the show since the beginning.
Troy's passion for gator hunting is undeniable because he is the son of a fisherman and a seafood distributor.
Season 15's trailer teased it will highlight a record high of tags according to Troy, noting that the exact count could be at least 900.
In the show, hunters are given a certain number of tags that they must attach to their alligator kills. Once it runs out, their involvement is over.
At the beginning of the season, Troy gathers his team to tell them they need to start early to reach their quota of 100 alligators daily.
Jacob Landry
Jacob Landry is Troy's eldest son on his gator hunting team.
When his father tells them about their quota of 100 alligators daily, Jacob admits that it is a "really, really big goal," yet he seems ready to achieve it.
After Season 14 highlights his emergence to become one of the crew's main men, Jacob's leadership is tested alongside his dad in Season 15.
Bruce Mitchell
After his triumphant return from retirement to fend off gators in his town, Bruce Mitchell is set to continue his success in the gator-hunting scene in Season 15.
Ronnie Adams
As an accomplished gator hunter, Ronnie Adams has seen it all. He is known for his knowledge of the different routes and backchannel of the swamp, which is advantageous in certain situations.
Ronnie tells the camera in the Season 15 premiere that he's worried about the 2023 alligator hunting season due to the blazing heat.
He goes alongside his lifelong gator-hunting partner, Timmy Aucoin, to track down and capture some alligators in the new season.
Unlike Troy, Ronnie only has a goal of 30 to 40 gators on Day 1, noting that it is enough to set the tempo for the rest of the season.
Timmy Aucoin
Timmy Aucoin has been a Louisiana mainstay since birth, and he knows the ins and outs of the swamps around it.
Aucoin tells his gator-hunting partner, Ronnie Adams, that he has already scouted some "big ones" in the swamp, proving his expertise in the area and the craft.
Timmy and Ronnie's strategy in Season 15 includes going back to the locations that provided the best returns in the previous year.
Pickle Wheat
As a loyal member of Troy Landry's team, Pickle Wheat is not to be messed with during gator hunting season.
Pickle comes from a long family history of gator hunters, all the way back to her great-grandfather who is one of the original alligator hunters in St. Bernard Parish.
While she is skeptical about Troy's 100 gator quota, Pickle is ready to prove the doubters wrong in Season 15.
Pickle also enters Season 15 after giving birth, and she knows what is at stake in terms of accomplishing those tags for a better income.
Dorien Edgar
Dorien Edgar is Daniel's grandson who tries his luck in the gator-hunting business.
The grandfather-grandson duo made waves in Season 14, and they are hoping that the momentum continues in Season 15.
Don Brewer
The locals describe Don Brewer as one of the most fearless men in Oklahoma.
Brewer teams up with Jacob Landry to try and achieve Troy's goal of 100 gators a day in Season 15.
After struggling to find their first catch of the day, Don and Jacob eventually find a 10-foot alligator lurking in one of their hook traps.
