The first season of Destination America’s Mountain Monsters was the network’s best series ever among key demos in delivery, and also earned DA’s best original series debut among P2+ and HH in delivery. We saw that interest here on our website, as well, with plenty of comments on our initial posts about the series, and with Mountain Monsters winning Best Paranormal/Monster Series or Special in our annual Viewers Voice Awards by a large margin, and Mountain Monsters star Huckleberry winning in the Best Beard Category. Naturally, with success like that, Destination America will be bringing the series back, and Mountain Monsters Season 2 begins April 4.
This season, the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS), led by John “Trapper” Tice, investigate more legendary local beasts in 14 new episodes. Kicking off the season April 4 at 10pm ET, AIMS travels to Pike County to investigate the Kentucky Hellhound, reported to be a 500-pound canine predator.
The following week, April 11 at 10pm ET, the team travels to Grafton, WV, to investigate the Grafton Monster, said to stand almost 10 feet tall and weigh more than half a ton and known to locals as “The Headless Horror.”
On April 18 at 10pm ET, AIMS goes to Nicholas County, WV, to investigate a large, Bigfoot-like creature called “The Yahoo.” The April 25 episode finds the team in Webster County, WV, to investigate the legendary Webster Werewolf.
Other creatures featured in Mountain Monsters Season 2 include the Fire Dragon of Pocahontas County (WV), Sheepsquatch of Boone County (WV), Shadow Creature of Braxton County (WV), Hogzilla of Hocking Hills (OH), Death Cat of Cherokee County (GA), Bear Beast of Raleigh County (WV), Snallygaster of Preston County (WV), Cave Creature of Greenbrier County (WV) and Bloodless Howler of Harrison County (WV).
New for Mountain Monsters Season 2 will be a Mountain Monsters: Behind the Hunt after-show airing on Destination America’s website. After each episode, Trapper and the rest of the AIMS team answer questions about the monsters, talk about their most terrifying moments on the hunt and discuss what goes on when cameras aren’t rolling.
Leading up to Mountain Monsters Season 2, viewers can catch up on the first season starting March 21 at 9pm and 10pm ET with Mountain Monsters: Uncaged, which offers a look back at AIMS’ earlier adventures with new footage and behind-the-scenes extras.
Mountain Monsters Season 2 airs Fridays at 10pm ET on Destination America starting April 4.

I happen to love this show and I always looked forward to Friday nights to watch this funny and entertaining show. I happen to believe in these monsters because I have encounter the supernatural throughout my life and also encountered a couple of animals per say that was out of this world. I know tv can do magic to look real, but I do believe they are tracking these creatures and I do not believe it is fake. If it is, so be it I love the show. What other show makes you laugh one minute and than the next minute puts you on the edge of your seat!!!! I love how they joke with one another and I think they all are handsome. It is the beauty within one’s soul that shines through for looks fade in time, but what is inside will always shine through. I sure hope you all plan on having another season. I miss watching you all.
o my God!!! STOP THE MADNESS!!! Hogzilla I HAD MY GRANDCHILDREN OVER N WE WATCHED THIS EPISODE. WHEN A 7 YEAR OLD SAYS THATS A HOGZILLA? WHY THEM GUYS STANDING ROUND THAT CAGE SCREAMING THEY CAUGHT A MONSTER??? I HAD TO ASK MYSELF THE SAME QUESTION. THEY CAUGHT A PIG. THEY DIDNT NEED A TRAP. THEY HAD IT TRAPPED IN A TRAILER…HOW IT GOT UP INTO THAT TRAILER, WELL I GUESS THATS A WHOLE DIFFRENT SUBJECT…I AM GONNA TAKE A GUESS AND SAY THIS WAS THE FIRST “REAL” HUNTING TRIP THEY ALL WENT ON, AND THEY CAUGHT A PIG. THE COMMERCIAL SAYS ” “WHO’S HUNTING WHO” WHO’S HUNTING AT ALL??? IT’S ALL OVER WHEN A 7 YEAR OLD SAYS “THIS SHOW IS STUPID” IT WAS EMBARRASSING HOW THEY ALL ACTED AROUND THAT CAGE AT THE END…THINK ABOUT IT, THEY CAUGHT A PIG. MY NEIGHBOR HAS A PET PIG … IN THEIR YARD…THE SAME SIZE…SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SIT DOWN AND MAKE ALOT OF CHANGES … KEEPING IN MIND NOT EVERYONE IN THE COUNTRY IS STUPID. Colt straub … Regroup.
I love this show. I believe in all of those monsters and I think Buck is quite handsome.
Snallygaster…? So buck went hunting…killed a bunch of animals, including a beaver, to “bait” a trap that was’nt even used, to attract a killer bird, thats been killing and eating animals all over the place, without a problem. Why hunt and kill anything for somthing that does not exist? A beaver…??? Really!?! Why not drive to the market and buy a ham or turkey? The producers of this show really need to rethink the direction they’r going in. I guess the beaver does’nt have enough predators, now we can add television executives to it’s list. So actually, the only ” sons of bitches” the guys managed to catch were coyote’s and a beaver…that were shot…cut up…and tossed into a trap… For a imagineary creature… That nobody actualy “saw”…so the 3000 pound trap had dead animals THROWN INTO it. STOP!!! STOP!!! STOP!!! Next thing you know, they will be killing puppies and kittens as ” proof” a ” monster” exists. STOP!!!
Warning! Beware! Amage! How stupid that people could continue watching the dumbest show on television. I refuses to continue watching if a mountain monster does not get caught in next few episodes. The guys on Mountain Monsters belong in a zoo to be exhibit as West Virginia idiols. How can you hurt an animals to get television rating? Mountain Monsters, you should be ashame of yourselves. I enjoyed last weeks bear monster because it was more real, but this week show was just plane old insulting. You need to get a monster soon or I am gone.
PETA will not be happy with this. I am sure the goat was not real because it fell to uniform. Television has surely fallen to an all time low even lower than Big Brother. What is next? American Indians communicating with Aleins. The show insults the intelligence of the American public and I guess that why it make me laugh because how could anyone be so stupid to believe four fat men and two good trap maker. Who knew Death Cat could throw a rope.
I will have to agree with Cindy upon the rope hanging goat. It does nothing to prove monsters are in the mountain of West Virginia. I thought Wild Bill was gone for one moment last week and he seen more lay back this week. I got to say if Mountain Monsters want to stay on TV that is to say get another season. It best get something real caught in the trap beside bullshit. Card board box cut into wolf and hid behind plastic, blood spit from bears, and tie up goats from loft but no actual monsters present. I would have thought editor would have caught the rope and cut it from the scene. It really shows how stupid mountain people are even in the TV business. If you want the show “Mountain Monsters” to be more creditable then you best be spending more money on equipment such as cameras and real made-up monsters because watching four fat, toothless, and bearded hick walk the woods is getting old. Willy is best part of the show because he actually does built traps. Altough, Wild Bill is not my guy at least he is helping Willy built traps. If it was me I would take Willy and Wild Bill and creat my own show called Trap Building 101. At least, the show would be more real than it is now. Do not get me wrong I love the guys, but I know they can do better than what they are doing now.
Just watched mountain monsters, cherokee cat episode. First the ENORMOUS cat was “right behind” the guys in a confined space…but managed to sneek up a flight of steps, only knocking over a box on his way up. But the worst was yet to come! Sombody actually killed a goat, attached it to a rope n at the right time flung it from above buck’s head onto the floor right in front of him! A human killed this animal for entertainment sake and THIS is disturbing. THERE WAS A ROPE ATTACHED TO THIS ANIMAL!!! Wild animals do not hunt in this way…HUMANS do. Up to this point I watched this show because I liked the guys, they Appeared to be alright guys, funny…but when it ok to slaughter animals for the sake of ratings, then you are NOT ok. If these men have been “hunting” monsters since 2006 …sombody best sit down and rethink the direction this show is going. NOTHING HAS BEEN CAUGHT, although each week “they’r gonna catch this son of a bitch” Only thing in the traps … Dead animal parts covered in piss. Dead animals mauled, tied with a rope and tossed around like garbage IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE, thank you. What I just watched was undignified behavior and it was NOT entertainment, i dont care WHERE your from.
I read all the comments that people wrote about the show. A lot of negative feed back. If you don’t like it change the channel. To me the show is very entertaining & I like all of the guys on the show. Wild Bill seems like his elevator doesn’t go all the way to the top
Don’t pay any attention to these athiests. These people in the post don’t understand the bible. They created hell in their hearts and they will go to hell when they take their last breath. In the bible Jesus says: UNLESS YOU BECOME CHILDLIKE ( believing in angels and demons and monsters ) YOU will not enter in the kingdom of heaven. I am a angel clarivoyant I know the truth: Love means Love offers valuable emotion and Fear is False evidence appearing real. SEE you on the other side if you make it. ENd of your story.
Yahoos! Really, More like Mountain Idiots with beardes. Who walks through woods hunting with all the noise they make. You might as well carry alone dogs because the only thing they going to screen up is rabbit or raccoon. The one thing I worry about is them shot themselves if their rifles are enough loaded. Wild Bill is your expert tracker, yea right! I know no tracker who run off after prey with a knife, what a moron. Buck is hunter, no, he is more a heart attack waiting to happen. I have not seen one photo or video that they have seen anything but the stars in forest and animals running from their dumb asses. I watch the hellhound run through the green house halfway before their cardboard box fall down; then, they claim the hellhound ran to corn field, where they ran into it. I tell you what go back to the green house and pick up your cardboard hellhound and start over. It is sad you hurt animals by clawing and tearing animals skin to promote a show that is pure fiction. I know you want to make money but all you are making is idiots of West Virginian.
I agree, what a waste of money. Hey I got a few stupid ideas for a TV show,, You in???
It is really sad when America public has to watch an obesed person claim to be a hunter. When the only thing he could hunter is a Big Mac. He give fat people and bad name. Georgia and Alabama hunters could do better acting than these yahoos. West Virginia has set the country by at least 150 years because guys can spend yarn wilder than watching Peabody. These men are running to the bank while walking through the woods for a living and catching only cash from idiots watching their stupid asses.
Watch out Wild Bill really embarrassment to the whole US Marines Bro!
Mountain Monsters
I enjoyed Mountain Monsters team except for Wild Bill. I really think you should rename the show as traps 101 and how to make animal tracks. I do not believe the characters Buck has no right in bring his fat ass into the woods. Trapper, Willy, Jeff, and Huckberry made the show. I am a disable Vet, my nurse watches the show, and we laugh our ass off. I will tell you this if a hunter from Alabama would have caught something on tape or killed something. The show is total bullshit in its fines and I love it.
Best show on TV. If you don’t like it exercise your right to turn it off.
Best show on TV. If you don’t like it use your off power button.
This is the worst acting we have ever seen. It makes me ashamed to think that this is how people of West Virginia are shown to the world. These men should be ashamed. The one man who says he is Billy and lives on a Black Angus farm in Kentucky actually lives on Rt. 7 in Wetzel County West Virginia. The only Black Angus he has ever seen would have been a Angus burger from Mc Donnalds. I don’t know how these men could walk through their community and hold their heads up. I have no respect for people like these men.
saw 1 time and is terrible, all fake and the entire show is a stage. my 13 year old canon video cam with night vision is better than what they use. and to top it off they can not even act!!!
This is the most stupid show I have ever seen in have watched a couple episodes and I dont even think they need to build a trap these bunch of crosseyed inbred hillbillies couldnt catch a cold. They never catch anything and are convinced that the monster they are trying to catch exist then they move on to another monster. What a joke this is fake it says that no animals were harmed or hunted in the filming of this episode in the way of evidence the video and photos are fuzzy and out of focus in the age of high definition . I wonder if these inbred hillbillies molest farm animals in there spare time and make them squeel like a pig if they ever want to remake the movie deliverance they need to get this buntch of inbred hillbillies. These guys are real morons all of them together may have the eye Q of a piss Ant but I think these guys make a piss ant look like a genius
Bill, if you don’t care for the show, don’t watch it. Why are you even reading the article if you can’t stand it? I have thre little girls that are amazed by these guys. Do I think it to be true? No, absolutley not, but if it amusses them then I am in. So don’t be a hater, just read a review on Desperate Housewives or whatever “floats your boat”.
This has to be the most stupid things on TV. They tell people about the dangers of these monsters are but never actually seen or photographed because it is all fake. As the season goes along the acting gets worse. This does however provide some Hillbilly idiot watching. If however an attempt at realism – it is terrible!!!!
