The Legend of Shelby the Swamp Man

I've been watching Shelby since Ax Men started. Cant get enough!!

To start with, I live in a neighboring state and grew up fishing the bayou's and hanging out with my Cajun friends. And I can 100% say that the 'Shelby' character is one of the most ridiculous and overly exaggerated characters that the TV production companies ever 'created'. The people who live around the swamps there aren't crazy like Shelby. They don't run around shooting guns everywhere. We see guns as tools and we don't act like fools with our tools. And they don't run around stealing off their neighbors land like Shelby does. There are some parts that are mildly entertaining. Which is why I gave it a 3 star review. But, for the most, it's just scripted drama that some writer in Hollywood came up with after watching the Beverly Hillbillies. I wouldn't recommend this series.

Seriously a TERRIBLE show. It belongs on TLC with Honey Boo Boo, not on History. It's disgusting and it's stupid. It's also a waste of a time slot that could be used for a show people actually want to watch like Ancient Aliens or Pawn Stars or really any other History or H2 show. What History is there in watching a man go through a swamp flinging snakes? Or washing his butt on a freaking hose pipe? Or running through a mall with no shoes? I don't know why anyone would watch this. It is a stupid show. It makes no sense why it's on History. I know that most of the shows on the History Channel aren't exactly history, but at least Pawn Stars and American Pickers have people come in and explain the history of the items and don't gross me out.

The best ever, it's addicting. you can't stop watching it. Best show known to date on this planet. Spanks anything that's on television. Give this man the world and everything in it. You can't get no better. If I got lost in the swamp, I'd want to be found by The Legend. Adding in the logs too would be good on this show. We need more Ax Men and this show. Pronto please. Please Dear God, show more of this man and his daisy dukes and ladies underwear. Can't get enough of him and his gorilla hands cousin. Please give them the world, they deserve it. Omg, my bagonneas miss this man and his wise decisions and failures. Wish he was my dad.

Shelby, The Swamp Man, is an entertaining character but entirely made up by writers who insult our Cajun heritage. When I saw Shelby use his shotgun as a boat paddle, I immediately knew this show was totally full of it. Only a complete moron would use a shotgun as a boat paddle. I am from the bayous of real "Cajun" Acadiana, Louisiana. Shelby is from the Lake Ponchartrain area which is not a true Cajun region. Even in the Ponchartrain, people don't rip through the bayous shooting guns carelessly and saying, "Eoooo!!!", Every other word. His vocabulary is ridiculous and obviously blown out of proportion. If he would keep his mouth shut most of the time, maybe the show would receive 2 stars. Being from South Louisiana and watching this feels like a slap in the face to my heritage.
