Early Life:

Terral Evans was born on May 13, 1957, in Louisiana, U.S. He comes from a family of gator hunters, and both his father and grandfather were knee-deep in the business. Ever since he was young, Terral tagged along with his elders to learn about gator hunting. A young Terral would often journey to Pearl River to hone his skills. He was particularly close with his grandfather who taught him the tricks of the trade. Born and raised in the Honey Island Swamp, Terral started catching gators barehanded right from the starting point of his career.

Professional Life:

Growing up, Terral joined the marine corps. As a resident of the swamp, Terral was no stranger to the harsh conditions and the water. After his tenure at the marines, Terral made the journey back to his hometown and started working as a project manager. He was involved with the Oil and Chemical Industry and worked for over three decades. Simultaneously, Terral worked with the gators and would often head back to the swamp during the hunting season.

Currently, Terral actively works with the Mississippi based Wildlife Conservative and Fisheries. Instead of hunting gators, Terral catches them barehand and relocates them to Honey Island. For a man in his sixties, Terral is a complete beast and still dislikes using weapons for the hunt. Unlike the traditional gator hunters who make the kill, Terral just relocates the gators, which makes his job even harder.
