For some other members of the show like Willie Edwards , it's unclear how much they've made. Daniel's grandson Dorien Edgar doesn't publicly have a salary available, but if his grandfather's number is any indication, he's not making much. Zak Catchem stars on the show as well, but he also makes money as a YouTuber. He has two channels all about fishing and has over three million subscribers on his main channel Catch Em All Fishing. Even though the cast of Swamp People is making a lot of money, not every alligator hunter is on TV.
It's reported that they typically work on a freelance basis where they only get paid when they have an alligator to sell. How much an individual can make depends greatly. People hunting alligators for sport in Louisiana need to have a license issued from the government. For some help, she invited co-star Ronnie Adams. Adams was impressed with her first-time hunting for alligators and decided it would be right to ask her to his boat to help him do this full-time.
You can understand where all her passion and determination come from, as she was not always the resourceful hunter we see in Swamp People today. Even if you see her today, she seems perfectly fine and leading a happy life with her family composing of her husband Chad Jones and their three lovely children. However, if not for her dark past, she would have four children altogether.
That is right; Ashley Jones had a miscarriage a few years back, pushing her into dark times of depression. It was like just going through the motions of life without getting anything back from it. Luckily her husband, Chad Johnson, was an attorney by profession but an avid hunter as well. He would share his hobby with his wife, Ashley, who did not take much time to excel upon. After a few good years of building her reputation on land, she recently took a leap to do the same in the swamps.
We are sure it will grow into a sum of more than hundreds of thousands in USD very soon. Edgar is not very camera friendly and puts down chances to be on a documentary about the Louisiana Swamps. We know he is a great hunter, but very few people know him as the owner of multiple successful businesses. He is the owner of the St. Caption: Daniel Edgar with his sons and Big T. Daniel Edgar also has two sons, Joey and Dwaine Edgar, who are both his co-stars in the show. He also has a daughter, Danielle Edgar, from his second marriage.
Willie Edwards is another original player in the game who has been part of the show from season 1 but still lives a very quiet life. Even when hunting, Willie Edwards even has the habit of going hunting solo, which he will repeat for season Willie Edwards is going all the way old school by using his trusty treble hooks rather than the more popular bait lines. Willie is married to Sherrie Edwards , his longtime wife. However, some seasons back, he and his equally young and enthusiastic cousin, Holden Landry, are all ready to go out on their own to make their name.
Chase Landry may have bitten off more than he can chew when he open fired at another shrimp boat approaching his vessel threateningly at rapid speeds. The shots were a hit, and so was the lawsuit against chase afterward. Chase failed to arrive at the hearing, seemingly making it worse.
But in the end, the whole matter was somehow swept under the rug. Sure, they hunt for their love of the land, but they do it for their living, too. With the notable exception of the Guist brothers , the hunters featured on the show are quick to talk about what makes the difference between a profit and a loss during the one-month alligator season in Louisiana.
But how much are these guys really making? What kind of money are we talking about? As it turns out, the alligator business is pretty volatile. The Louisiana Alligator Advisory Council has all the information and more! According to their site, alligator hunting has become steadily more profitable over the years. Way down. As mentioned in Swamp People Season 3, the prices have gone way up since Season 2!
Hunters can harvest as many alligators as they have alligator tags. Each tag represents a potentially profitable alligator. Each lost tag represents a loss, since they cannot be replaced. When you catch a gator, no matter what the size, you have to put one of your tags on it. Troy Landry, who is the big daddy tag-rich King of the Swamp got tags in , but most professional hunters have far fewer.
So, that means, he needs to average 5. Everything else 7 out of 10 is feet. So, more math. This is the profit off the hides, alone. And, of course, the more big gators you get, the more this total goes up. On the other hand, you have to pay for all your equipment and all your help out of this total.
When you watch your first episode or two of Swamp People , the connections to the crab fishing portrayed on The Deadliest Catch jump to the fore.
