'Mountain Monsters' worth sinking claws into

Courtesy Destination America

Destination America has a fun monster series that we think is a good snack for your beastly hunger.

Called Mountain Monsters, it debuted Saturday, June 22, airs at 10 p.m., and follows a shaggy group of hunters and trappers -- known as The Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS) -- as they investigate legendary and unidentified creatures in the Appalachians.

First, let’s meet this gang of native West Virginian sons of this Duck Dynasty meets Destination Truth team. The founder of AIMS is John “Trapper” Tice. He’s an older gentleman who sports a long beard like many of his cohorts. He’s a nice mix of no-nonsense and fun. He takes these woods seriously, as they all do, but will joke around when appropriate. He also doesn’t mind incorporating modern devices along with traditional trapping methods. Then we have Buck (the Rookie ... he has no beard); Huckleberry (who handles security); Wild Bill and Willy (trappers); and Jeff (he’s the researcher who needs a cool nickname and looks like Santa).
