We’ll all you negetive minded couch cushion loving people. on Destination America.īe sure to also read, “Men of ‘Mountain Monsters’ investigate Ohio folklore.” Mountain Monsters airs Friday nights at 10 p.m. The fast-paced action of the show combined with the mysterious creatures it showcases are what keep me watching. When questioned on the hunting style the guys portray during the show, Trapper said with a laugh, “Nobody would want to watch us lay on a hill with a night-vision scope all night.”

This fast paced adventure-filled show keeps viewers guessing and on the edge of their seats as the men chase after critters in the Appalachian region. So whether or not you chose to believe in the folklore or just consider it a form of Friday night entertainment, “Mountain Monsters” is sure to fit the bill. There was one set of tracks where you could tell he was after coyotes. In a corn field, if you got in there just after it rained you could see tracks. He moved from corn field to corn field undetected. I can’t even believe I took the team in there after him. I swung around and he hit that elbow, and he virtually knocked me down. “That’s terrible in that corn field,” he said. I asked for clarification as to what really hit him. In particular, I asked for details about my favorite creatures featured on the show, “The Hellhound of Kentucky.” During this episode, it appeared that, while the guys were searching for the beast in a corn field, the creature hit Trapper in the elbow and nearly knocked him down. In addition to finding out more about the men in the show, I had a few questions for Trapper about some of the episodes I had seen.

I have a pipeline that I walk right away that is real fresh with tracks.” I have a ritual that virtually every Sunday morning I go up into the northern part of Pleasant County. “The wampus beast, or wampus cat, in northern pleasant county is a pet peeve of mine. He knows his stuff.” John “Trapper” Tice. “Jeff was a good researcher so we brought him on. He’s the kind of guy you only give one shell to.” He is exactly the way he acts on the show.

“We had a mutual friend say, ‘You’ve got to meet this Wild Bill guy,’ and we needed a really good climber to help Willy out on traps. During the filming season, he went from 215 pounds to 175 pounds building all those traps.” We’ve got some age on us - me and Huckleberry and Jeff. We needed someone to do the heavy lifting and the grunt work for us. The first time I met him he was a real skeptic. So he’s my ‘Huckleberry.’ He takes care of us.” Sometimes I pay so much attention to what‘s going on in front of me that I need someone to watch my back all the time. “Huckleberry was an operator, and I was a boilermaker so we knew each other.

Here are some quotes from Trapper about the guys in the show. These guys know the woods and what they are about, but they are also intelligent enough to know what draws an audience. Though the program rarely portrays them as such, these guys are also a well-rounded group of intelligent and skilled men. I personally think they would be a fun group of guys to get to know. Luckily, my fears were not founded.Īs I sat down to talk to Trapper amid the forests of Salt Fork State Park, it became obvious pretty quickly that he is just a normal “good old boy” who hasn’t been changed by his television fame.Īlthough I refuse to make claims about the legitimacy of the “monsters” or the evidence shown during the shows, I can tell you that from what I can see, the men of “Mountain Monsters” are truly a group of fun-loving, hardworking hunters from Ohio and West Virginia. I was afraid I might meet a polished actor rather than the man from the mountains that I had grown to admire on the show. I really like the program and I enjoy letting my imagination run wild as I watch it. Of course I was very excited, but a little nervous. A few e-mails were exchanged and before long it was all set up for me to have an interview with Trapper, one of the stars of the show. I was fortunate enough to have one of my April 2014 blogs (“Mountain Monsters” - They’re more familiar than you think) catch the attention of the folks at Destination America who produce the show.
