The Hunter’ Target

Swamp People Season 12 Episode 5

These Hunters are issued a certain number of tags each, these tags are supposed to be attached to their kills. This helps the hunters to identify and mark their kills more accurately. The target for the hunters during this alligator season is to “tag out” which essentially means that the hunters have to extinguish their tags reserve in the span of these thirty days. This would mean that the hunter has killed a number of alligators equal to the number of tags received.
