Well, they "fish" for 'em. Hang a trot line and come back,

pull the line up and shoot the animal at the edge of the boat. There were some .22 LR AND WMR guns (you sometimes see them handle ammo) (Marlins and older Savages) most usually in use but sometimes a Marlin 336 (.30?) and the good old boys hunt squirrels with various single-shot shotguns, mostly Savage. (edited to add) Yes, they do mention the small target the brain presents...

In the episode in question one of the gator fishermen has a problem killing the gators with his .22 LR. So he borrows the SA .22 Mag revolver from a friend. It is clearly a Heritage Roughrider, about $240 MSRP. One can easily see the safety in one shot.

I usually watch in the 30 min to 1 hr while I wait for my bride to decide to battle her insomnia and come to bed. I'd rather watch that than another lyin' politician or some stuff about various dysfunctional families. Most of the people on this show are actually functional members of their families and communities even if they are a bit different compared to your average city dweller. I rather think they are more like me than anyone else on TV so it is a bit funny that the idea behind having them on TV is to present a "freak show".
