   Is Destination America a cable station or something? Sounds interesting, I’d hate to miss it.

   Strange, Tom Biscardi, is in Ohio and now you have the Grassman. ha.ha.ga.

   Perhaps I just favor country people over city folk, but this crew of guys just seem much more likeable and actually funny than the Finding Bigfoot folks. I think this show may put them out of business!They also don’t spin a bunch of b.s. either. Maybe that is why I like them so much.

   I’ve never heard of destination America. I hope I have that channel

   I think this is very credible. But still I wonder where they secret themselves when not in the grasslands?

   I can’t believe anyone is falling for this as a “legitimate” investigation team. It’s like Duck Dynasty crossed with Scooby Doo. The video evidence is blatantly CGI, the acting is laughable and they try to catch these creatures by dropping homemade cages on them and building pit traps. This show is good for a laugh, but that’s it. I miss Monsterquest.

   Okay, the problem I have with the show is that in two episodes they’ve managed to get lots of prints, picture evidence (in both episodes) and vids and pics from all kinds of people. They’ve had all the classic evidence of howls, rock throwing, sightings, smells, and so on.

   In two shows they’ve singlehandedly gotten more evidence than Finding Bigfoot has for most of their seasons.

   It’s either complete bunk or they’re better than any team that’s ever hunted for the big guy. The pic of the “grass man” looked dubious against the mat of brush–it didn’t look like it fit with the rest of the scene in the photo. Which means to me it could have been inserted, which would in turn lead me to believe the whole show is flim-flammed.

   Help me out here folks–I’d like to think a film channel wouldn’t stoop to out and out fakery and chicanery, but Animal Planet proved they’d skew evidence or lack there of just for ratings. AND it is reality TV which by definition, I don’t think it has to adhere to anything even resembling the “truth.”

   I’m going digging into the background of this show to see if I can find anything one way or the other…I’ll be back if and when I get any “truth”.

   At first I bought into these guys. They are native woodsmen and are bound to know their tracking and woods lore. But when I saw this last episode about the Ohio Grassman, where they’re running through the woods hollering to each other to ‘flank’ and ‘cover’ and all of that other pseudo military jargon, pointing rifles up and down to ‘shoot that SOB’… I’m sorry. They lost my faith in their abilities.

   First of all…to me killing or harming a bigfoot is inexcusable. They dug that watery pit with the intention of trapping and possibly harming one.

   Second…even if that ‘nest’ in the house was real, and they ‘were’ in its domain when it supposedly threw rocks at the house, they still had no reason to kill it. Even though they acted like they were being ‘attacked’, they were never in any real danger.

   Third…did they really want us to believe that they had a bigfoot on the run?? That these fools could actually find that many bigfoot prints and chase it towards their pit-trap? If they were honest researchers they would have casted a few of those ‘prints’.

   And fourth….Do they really think that the game cam pic they showed was going to fool anyone? Please…

   I think William may have watched a completely different show. I watched the first episode about the Wolfman. This program is full of fake reactions and added sound effects. The first episode had these idiots running around in the dark with guns, “stumbling onto” giant wolf tracks and ended with an obviously-hoaxed video of something hairy moving in front of a camera.

   After watching the clips for this Grassman episode, it looks like the same. Poorly hoaxed video, added “bigfoot roar” sound effects, and a lot of yelling.

   The show had more than its fair share of “a bunch of b.s.”; two or three bunches actually. Anyone who thinks that this show is anything more than mindless entertainment is mistaken.

    @bigyeti – I guess this show could be similar to that show on the Mermaids, where it is all done to fool people. Even it so, it is pretty darn good entertainment. I agree it seems uncanny that they could obtain such a high amount of evidence, i.e. tracks, nests, and howls, in so few episodes, but maybe these fellows just know what they are doing, as they actually have some skills? I guess the jury is out until we see a few more episodes. I agree, if they continue to hear howls (they did seem fake to me) and a multitude of tracks (maybe they are just good at finding them) and set up another trap which the creature “just misses” only to be caught on a trail cam, that this show must be fictional.

11. William responds: July 1st, 2013 at 8:19 am

    I meant to indicate if they “see” a multitude of tracks in every episode, I too will find this to be staged. On the other hand, if they are staging they are doing a good job, as in the Wolfman episode they would have had to haul a lot of cattle bones out to the middle of no-where which was where this creature’s “den” seemed to be.

    I watched the episode “Mountain Monsters: Grassman of Perry County” and thought “this can’t be real”. Then I thought maybe they had real evidence.

    I am a fool!

13. William responds: July 1st, 2013 at 2:56 pm

    I for one would like to see a team assembled of expert trackers, hunters, including those with tracking dogs to be “on call” sort of like the Ghostbusters were in movie for whenever a bigfoot is spotted so they can respond right away. A guy like Ernie Brown, the Turtleman could IMHO, track down a bigfoot to his hideout or den and then we would finally get the evidence we need. The key would be speed in getting to the location while the bigfoot was still around. As far as the live traps, I think that avenue was long over due and makes sense. People may laugh but Frank Buck used almost an identical tye of pit trap these guys used in the Grassman episode to capture a large maneating tiger that was terrorizing a village. I don’t think these guys are trying to shoot or harm a bigfoot and are carrying guns only for self defense purposes. However, I am not opposed personally to shooting one, because even if only drawing blood, there could be enough to obtain DNA evidence.

    I mean “type” of pit trap. Made a typo on “type.” LOL.

    They call him the grass-man in Summit county also, monster quest was there.

16. chooch responds: July 2nd, 2013 at 11:19 am

    I recorded the Wolfman and Grassman episodes for the purpose of playing back for a more careful study.

    I’ve just finished doing that, and my first impression holds. From a standpoint of serious and credible crypto research, Mountain Monsters is at best a contrived entertainment vehicle …. good for a few laughs and that’s about all.

    I’m already old, I live in the woods, already have the long hair and beard. Can I get my own reality show now?

    Gotta take this show with a grain of salt. That said, it’s still 10x better than the Moneymaker Bunch.

18. brussell639 responds: July 5th, 2013 at 11:05 am

    I seriously have my doubts to the legitimacy of this show. I don’t think they’re going to be able to stumble across a new cryptozoological creature every week. I don’t care how good they can track, and besides, y’all saw Buck, he can’t cross a creek without nearly drowning himself. It’s cheap entertainment at best, and sadly it is better than Moneymaker.

    The trail-cam photo they showed at the end of the show was obviously a fake or a bush. At one point when they changed the FLIR setting on the photo you could see right through the “face” or “head” of the “creature” into the bushes & trees behind it. If it was a real creature or animal it wouldn’t have a transparent or translucent area in the center of its head/face. That alone its enough for me to know that it is not a real animal, but the image is also extremely blurry and out of focus in comparison to everything else around it (which is in complete focus & clear as a bell). Even if the creature was running at a high rate of speed it wouldn’t have looked like a blurry smudge that was just standing there, it would have looked like an animal or man that was moving & blurry. This was obviously a faked photo. Sorry A.I.M.S. Your show is entertaining, but it’s not real (as in not faked.)

Sorry. Comments have been closed.
