Little Willie’s alligator hunting journey
Little Willie is next in line to take over the family business, as the oldest son of veteran swamper Willie Edwards.
The Swamp People star said he hopes his father has passed everything he knows about the swamp onto him.
His father Willie initially enjoyed going out on the swamp alone, until he decided to teach his knowledge to his son.
Although he has only been hunting alligators for a few years, having mastered the catch in last year’s season, it is thought he will keep it up!
