At present, the tour and their Gatorman Gift & Specialty Shop are temporarily closed, but the online store is open, selling merchandise including signed photos, apparel, knives and other souvenirs. At the end, Liz re-joined the series by the 12th season, though not all of the other cut-off hunters had the same luck. So why do they still do it? Whether they watch it for the adrenaline that gator hunting induces or simply because they like watching the cast putting their life at risk for money, its undeniable that Swamp People has captured the attention of millions of people all over the US and internationally, for over a decade.

Feb. 18 2021, Published 2:18 p.m. Bruce last appeared in Season 9 before he took a couple of seasons off from the show to be with his family. This season premiered on February 16, 2017. Long may he serve again in the gator-catching role. While the internet rumor about Bruce's death is not true, he did lose his dog, Tyler, back in 2014. First of all, his family has been hunting gators in the Atchafalaya River Basin for centuries, making it obvious that his profession is not necessarily choice, but a life-calling. So whatever happened to him? The show follows the day-to-day activities of alligator hunters living in the swamps of the Atchafalaya River Basin who hunt American alligators for a living. With the confirmation of its renewal, it was also announced that besides the fact that some of the most well-known hunters would continue in the show, the season would bring a surprise for its viewers, with the addition of the hunters Destin Choate and Cheyenne Wheat, also known as Pickle. Seeing how much the audiences love Swamp People, its not surprising there was a huge uproar when the fan favorite hunter Bruce Mitchell suddenly left the show in 2018, and didnt show any signs of returning. An invasion of Burmese pythons is decimating this natural wonder of the South. Thankfully nothing as dramatic as death occurred to the reality star. As the years progressed, Bruce grew as a gator hunter and eventually took over Kliebert's Alligator & Turtle Farm. Whatever he did, Bruces disappearance from the show somehow led people to believe he was dead. It drew 2.8 million adults 25-54 and adults 18-49 scoring the #1 show on cable for the night and the #2 spot in all of television.

Although Bruce remained quite active on social media during his hiatus, a huge number of his followers still missed seeing his hunting gators escapades on TV. Having disappeared quite abruptly, almost without a trace, fans immediately sparked rumors of his sudden death. On the show, Bruce was seen partnering with Ron Methvin who is an Army Veteran and one of the deadliest snipers around. Each hunt was interesting, as alligators would put up a fight, and viewers could see how dangerous it was to play tug-of-war with them, especially the bigger and more aggressive ones. However, theres a good reason for that, as he was arrested for hitting a female police officer at midnight of 23 September 2011. The pair made quite a team before Ron left the show to pursue a career as a Louisiana Police trooper. Since the farm had closed, the family launched Mitchell Swamp Adventures, a guided tour on the property that included a South Louisiana Swamp Heritage Museum and educational stations. Besides cooking and managing a thriving online business, Bruces favorite past-time activities are gunsmithing, collecting knives, camping in the wilderness, and biking.
