whoa! holy [bleep]! damn! that creature's terrifying. we're in preston county, west virginia, and we're going after the snallygaster. a snallygaster is a huge flying reptile.
crash diet generation wild, [ revving ] woo-ha! the trap i have in mind is the reverse catapult trap. get some! ow! heads up! heads up! [ grunting ]
we're one step closer to gettin' the old gallysnaster in the ol' trap. we're looking for something we don't know a damn thing about. it strikes fear in our hearts. i can see it in the men's eyes. we're hearing noises up in the tree, down on the ground. scan the sky, jeff. scan the sky. this creature's all over the place. that is gone! he's in the air!
move, move, move! we gotta get out here and get out of here now! [ crash ] [ shouting ] [bleep] hell was that? he's on us! he's on us! these flying [bleep] are everywhere! they're just dive-bombing on us! look! there it is! we got the devil in the sky, boys. we got the devil in the sky.
narrator: for generations, the appalachian mountains have had more sightings of mysterious creatures than anywhere else in the united states. let's do this. what was that? we need backup. now a band of hard-core hunters and trappers... right there! right there! right there! ...are out to identify these unexplained creatures.

one team of native west virginian sons seeks the truth. we're headed to preston county, west virginia. we're going after the snallygaster. the what? the snallygaster. bless you. from all reports, the snallygaster is a huge flying reptile, 800 pounds, a 20-foot wingspread.
he has a dark greenish-gray scaly skin that's just super tough, and he has talons that's probably 5 or 6 inches long. the snallygaster has an ear-piercing scream. it actually sounds like a locomotive whistle. [bleep] i bet that sends the critters of preston county runnin'.whew. the snallygaster was first sighted in the mid-1700s by the german immigrants that lived up in the maryland,
west virginia, pennsylvania area. teddy roosevelt, you know how he liked to hunt big game? yeah.this was actually on his list. he was gonna hunt it down while he was president. really? absolutely. then, in the 1990s, it became sightings after sighting after sighting. oh. wow. and i'll tell you another thing, buck.
you see them stars on barns?yeah. now, you've seen them all over west virginia. yeah. you know what they're for?no. they're to keep the damn snallygaster away. really? yes, sir. that's what they're there for. it's an old german insignia of some kind just to keep the snallygaster away.
kinda like a dreamcatcher. right. german immigrants called it a schneller geist, which means quick spirit in their native tongue. a schneller geist? schneller geist. schneller geist. i'll be damned. you know how the germans say your name, jeff? mnh-mnh. schanta klaus. [ laughter ]
ahh! there's one for buck. oh, beautiful preston county, west virginia. boy, it's nice, isn't it? we're in preston county, west virginia. we're getting ready to meet with our first eyewitness, who apparently had an encounter with the snallygaster. how're you today? all right, buddy. how're you? bub. i'm trapper.
pleased to meet you. glad to meet you. bub's an avid trapper. he really loves catching them coyotes, 'cause they're a nuisance. well, you got some nice country out here. thanks, yeah. it's nice. i love it. bub, we heard you had an interesting encounter out here. yeah, it seems like i got more than a coyote problem up here on this ridge.
i check traps every morning before work. checkin' this old log road up here, um... was in the side-by-side. i was comin' up on top of the ridge. heard this loud shriek. i mean, this thing echoed through the hills, so i knew it was down here. i knew i had two traps down here. i got a trap out back here.
i got a urine post set down here. and when i came and popped over this ridge right here, i seen something take a critter outta the trap right here. it was about 7 feet tall, and it had this immense wingspan. it had this long beak. it's like nothing i'd ever seen before. it was amazing. so, i took off as fast as i could
down to the other urine post set. before i could get down there, that thing flew. flew? flew? flew from that set down there to -- i seen the coyote sitting in that one. and without stopping, grabbed it and took off. when he got between the two power line poles right there, he dropped his wings, got in between it, and shot. and he went up and clear up out of sight.
my gosh. damn. not only did he take the coyote in one swoop without landing, he ripped the trap out of the ground. wow. oh. the trap and all. when you set these traps in the wild, you have a two-foot stake that goes in the ground. it has a little plate on it so it won't pull back up out. this creature snatched this coyote, the trap, and the stake
out of the ground and took off like nothing. you can't get one out. you gotta dig 'em out. yeah, you have to dig 'em out. you got to dig 'em out. and he's powerful. did you notice how big his wingspan was? it was wider than them power line poles, and he tucked 'em in to get in between it. so, 18 to 20 feet. jeez, 20 foot. i'll never forget what i seen,
and nobody can tell me that what i seen wasn't real. oh, yeah. oh, absolutely. yeah. to have that big of a wingspread, for the chest muscles and his body size, to power those wings... uh, it's enormous. i didn't believe that 700 or 800 pounds to start with, what -- the reports we're hearing.
but, yes, i believe that now. bub, you had a very interesting story, and we're gonna come back here and do a night investigation. i hope you do. it's a very scary, scary creature. i wish you guys the best of luck, and most importantly, be careful.thank you. buck: the snallygaster's a huge winged creature. we don't know if it's gonna attack us from the air.
we don't know if it's on the ground. it's really gonna be challenging. boy, i don't feel comfortable out in this field. i can tell you that. we're just a half a mile from where we met with our first eyewitness, bub, where he saw the snallygaster fly up the mountain. i tell you what we better do. we better seek cover in the timber.
we know we can't be out here in the open. we have to stay in the woods to have any kind of chance at all. our hope is that we stay in this heavy timber, and at least if it comes down, it'll have to get on the ground. right here is a good spot. i don't think he can swoop in on us here, from what i'm seeing. even if you're in the timber, i'm telling you right now we're not 100 percent safe.
and if he has to crash through timber to get to us... he will. that thing carried his coyotes off. and he took 'em someplace to eat 'em. so that's what we're looking for. we're looking for a nesting area, a feeding area, any signs of him we can find on this high point. i think we're gonna head out right through here. lock and load. [ guns click ]
the terrain in preston county is a little bit different from any place in west virginia. the mountaintops are big and huge. the snallygaster has to roost in this big timber high on these mountains. [ branch snaps, distant howling ] listen, listen. [ bleep ] [ howling continues ] listen.
that's pretty close, isn't? i'll bet that son of a bitch got that pack of coyotes fired up. i'd say he does. [ howling continues ] that's two packs together. i've never heard two packs like that to get together. every pack has an alpha male. that's two alpha males together. they're packing up for safety. boys, i just had two eyeballs looking at me.
huh? huh? two eyeballs. where at? back over here. where at, huckleberry? right here in front of me. ah, now there's four. holy [bleep]. that them coyotes? that one's moving its head. i got one, two, three, four, maybe five.
why aren't they moving? 'cause there's something more dangerous than us out here, buck. coyotes do not do this. they run from human beings. these damn things was more scared of whatever was around us than they were us, and they was using us to protect them. that's absolutely crazy. they're not even moving. no. they're seeking protection from us.
buck: they are. boys, there's something ain't right. damn. buck: when we seen those coyotes not take off, that tells us something's not right. there's something in these woods that shouldn't be here. [ rustling ] whoa! whoa! [ bleep ] that noise sounded like it was up high.
those coyotes took off. maybe we should, too. this don't feel good. i'm telling you. no, it don't. no, it doesn't at all. hey, look here, guys, look here. what you got, buck? what you got, buck? holy [bleep]! ah, damn! that's bub's trap. that's bub's trap. got the anchor on it and everything.
yeah. there's hair in the trap, too, where he yanked that coyote out of it. holy [bleep]. we're right where he brought that coyote to eat it. right here. [ beep ] we just found bub's trap laying on the ground just like it fell out of the sky. this snallygaster snatched up two coyotes.
i don't know if it was in the air feeding, on the ground feeding, but we're in his kitchen right here. right here is absolutely his feeding area. hell yes. we're right in it. well, if he's eating here, he'll be back here. he might just land in any of these big oak trees. [ loud screech ] whoa! holy [bleep]! what's that? where's that goin'?
we was investigating this trap, and then we heard the loudest shriek i've ever heard in my life. it sounded like it was 100 yards away. it was real close. buck, you see anything out there? i don't see nothing up this way. jeff, thermal. scan the sky, jeff. scan the sky. we're in a bad position here, guys.
we're in the open. it's too damn open, trapper. this ain't a good spot. [ shriek continues ] [ all shouting ] he's getting closer, guys! there he is! [ bleep ] he's in the air! move! move! move! keep your eyes up! keep your eyes up! right here, we'll get in this log pile. get in, trapper.
get these logs over our head. come on, guys. everybody in. yeah, come on. come on. [ shrieking ] we got the devil in the sky, boys. we got the devil in the sky! [ shriek ] huckleberry: we're in preston county, west virginia. we're going after the snallygaster.
this snallygaster has got a hell of screech to it. it weighs 800 pounds. hell, it can grab up two coyotes at once and pull the chain and all up out of frozen ground and then fly off with the damn thing. this snallygaster is one badass flying creature. he's getting closer, guys. there he is. he's in the air! move! move! move! keep your eyes up! keep your eyes up!
get in, trapper. get these logs over our head. come on, guys. everybody in. yeah, come on. come on. we got the devil in the sky. [ rustling ] ho! [ beep ] keep these logs right straight above ya. what're we supposed to do now? we're just gonna hold tight right here.
i don't hear nothing. guys, we gotta get out of here, and we get that side-by-side with a roof on it. ease out from under this log pile. stand guard one at a time. then we'll make our break for it once we all get out of here. we haven't heard the son of a bitch in about five minutes now. so the best thing we can do is ease out from under this log,
regroup and get the hell to the side-by-side as quick as possible. go! keep your eyes up. keep your eyes up. come on, guys. get to the side-by-side. get loaded in. get under that roof. we got to get under that roof. let's get out of here.yeah, let's go. whew! i didn't like that.
you ain't kidding! i was really concerned about the trap location with this flying creature. hell, he could be 20 miles away in an instant. now that we've found his feeding area, i can tell willy where to get started to build his trap. there's a big, huge winged creature here in preston county. it's been scaring these people to death.
ha! the old a-team's got to come here and put a stop to it. whoo! hey, man! whew, she is a mite cold. what's up, bro? i'm telling you, man. we got a map for this trap? i'll show you exactly where i'm talkin' about. the trap i have in mind to catch the snallygaster is the reverse catapult trap. we'll have to find two trees that are pretty close together,
and we'll hoist a log up and put it in between them trees and hook it and secure it. then another log will hook up to that log, and that'll be able to lift this box that we have to build on the ground. once it's up into the air, i'll put a trigger system that runs on a string down to the ground. when the snallygaster flies under it or walks under, either way, it'll be able to trip it off
and catch it from the air and smash it down to the ground and hold it there until we get there. boy, i sorta do admire your artistic skills there, but, uh, can i bum a piece of paper? tell you what, i'm all in for it. ol' bro brother will is my bro, and he's all the time making drawings of these traps. well, i got some artistic craft abilities. i'll give you a visual here. [ speaks indistinctly ]
when i was in the united states marine corps, they used to call me "ol' sergeant wild bill rembrandt." check her out, bro. "wanted -- preston county..." "gally sanacter." i think the "g" is supposed to be over here, and the "s" is over here. that's how the germans pronounce that -- gallysnashter. you better stick with your art classes.
that picture i drawed of ol' gallysnashter turned out pretty impressive. i'm proud of it. what i'll think i'll do is run down and make some copies off of it, put it around the local area here, a wanted poster of mr. ol' gally snatcher. all right, let's see if we can't get supply logs. get some materials gathered up. [ revving ] ha! have at her, bub!
[ sawing continues ] up there in preston county, it's full of these yellow pines. they're all over the place. he-hey, watch out! watch out! yeah! whoa! whoo-ah! timber! h-hey, bub! woo-hoo! yeah. get some! oh, willy! [ whimpers ] i'm down. out of this pine tree we just laid on the ground -- provided plenty of material out of it.
we're gonna have a pivot log and a catapult log. right there will do it. now we have to go find the right place to put it. let's go get her done, bro. we're one step closer to gettin' ol' gallysnaster in the old trap. hmm, that's what i'm talkin' 'bout! let's get her done! wow, yeah. this road's slick.
ooh -- [bleep] easy, trapper. nice save. our next eyewitness in preston county is a squirrel hunter named ty, who apparently had one of his dogs killed by the snallygaster. i saw you boys about tumbled. little slick on that hill. i had a nice recovery, didn't i, buck? did you like that? i was impressed.
8.5. that was a good one. 8.5! [ laughter ] that was a good one. yeah, good. that was a good one. [ laughter ] well, i've heard you had a pretty interesting encounter with a creature out here. about a month ago, i was out here hunting with my two squirrel dogs. right over yonder, off across this way right here,
the dogs are running. i think they've got a squirrel. so i cruise down there. and i heard a yip. ty was squirrel hunting with both his dogs. they was on a squirrel's trail, and all at once, they gave a terror bark -- a dog in trouble. so when i go down there, there's pogo, laying...bloody... on its back. oh, my. it had a puncture wound right here.
like somebody just jabbed my dog with a stiletto, right like that. oh, wow. could you give us an idea about how big the puncture wound was? it was right about like that. whew. i know the power of the talons of a red-tailed hawk or a great horned owl. with a creature that weighs 800 pounds, he has the talon strength to crush any ribcage. buck: have you ever heard of the snallygaster?
i have not. from what we found out, this thing's over 800 pounds, and it's got over a 20-foot wingspan. so this thing's gonna pretty well have to have a good opening to get in and out. so if you don't mind showing us where this was at, we'd appreciate seeing it.it's right down here. now, let's take a look. yeah. i've never heard of the snallygaster before,
but i know that my dog was not killed by a bobcat, wasn't killed by other wildlife. it was killed by something unusual. so this is how i found my dog right here. let me look around. if he even swooped in, he'd have had to broke some branches and stuff off these limbs here, see? i don't believe he was ever in the air right here. after seeing where ty's dog was attacked, there wasn't enough
clearance in the trees to have been attacked from the air. this attack had to have come from the ground. he may have just been sitting right here someplace, and them dogs found him... found him. instead of him finding them. maybe their barking was actually barking at him, and he just made one swipe at one of 'em right here. and then, that son of a bitch went out of here on foot, right up through right there.
yeah. i'll bet money on it. if he escaped out here on foot, that means he can attack on foot. sure. that's not good. no, hell no. we now know that the snallygaster can attack from the air and from the ground. that makes this creature a lot more dangerous. i was determined to find out what killed my dog.
so i set up trail cameras. and i've actually got two pictures of something that i don't know what it is. would you mind showing 'em to us? i'd love to show them to you. ty apparently caught the snallygaster on his trail cams. i gotta see these photos. i think this is what killed my dog. holy [bleep]. man, look at that thing.
we're in preston county, west virginia, the snallygaster was first sighted in the mid-1700s. the german immigrants called it a schneller geist, which means quick spirit. this schneller geist is one bad demon, either from the sky or on the ground. look at the wingspread. it's huge. man. i think it's bigger than what we thought it was.
hell yes. and it's standing up. on the ground. on the ground. that's a bad part to the puzzle, guys. let me see that other one. holy [bleep]. damn. hell of a picture, huh? that creature's terrifying. my lord. i believe the son of a bitch is bigger than what we thought he was. oh, yeah.
after seeing ty's photos of the snallygaster, i actually believe he has a larger wingspread than 20 feet, and he may be in that 8- to 10-foot tall range. he's definitely 800 pounds plus. you think that's what you're talking about? that's the snallygaster. yeah, that's a snallygaster. that's the snallygaster for sure. that may be the first picture that's ever taken of it. well, those are great pictures, man.
oh, yeah. great pictures. great pictures. we better get out of here. we got a lot of work to do, guys. thanks, brother. thank you. we've had two sightings of the snallygaster within a half a mile of each other, so we know he's in this area. we now have a great place to set our trap.
man, look here at all them leaves and stuff tore up down through there. something's been here recently. trapper and the team let me and wild bill know the snallygaster is using this area to travel through by foot. we need to find two trees to be able to hang this pivot log up before we begin the construction of this reverse catapult trap. right here, that nerve's got a dandy fork in it, willy.
it's going right here. i think we can make these two work. that's what i'm talkin' 'bout. ha! hell yeah. what i'm talking about, bub. ha! this trap here's one of the toughest challenges we're probably gonna have. i mean, you're up there 70, 80 feet in the air. you're lifting big old, heavy logs up there, and you're up there trying to muscle 'em around.
it gets difficult -- and dangerous. ooh, easy now. easy. lay down. all right, that's the best she gets right there. huh! yeah, boy. we got our pivot log hoisted up and secure between two trees. the next step is to get our counterpoint log above that and then attach it to the box. damn, i might have to go get me a rain gear.
that old wheel's gonna get the old backsides wet today, we're still gonna get her done, just like two marines. yeah, get some of that! oh, yeah. whoo-ha! easy does her. all right, ho! hold it. man, that is a golly whopper of a log. lord, have mercy. nice and easy, brother. that thing's slick as glass.
here we go. finally. [ grunting ] give me a heave up there, willy, and i'll give a heave back here. all right. one, two, three! yeah! that's what i'm talkin' about. yes, sir!
woo-hoo! [ rain falling ] nice mornin'. oh, yeah. our next eyewitness is a farmer named mark, who apparently had some coyotes attacked near his farm. i'm huckleberry. huckleberry, nice to meet you. mark. i'm trapper. trapper, nice to meet you.i thought it was gonna be snow, but damn, it's rain, isn't it? yeah, it is.
you guys wanna come on in out of the rain? damn right. oh, yeah. mark claims there's more than one snallygaster out here. i can't wait to find out why he thinks that. how long you been farming here in preston county, mark? i been farming here probably 17, 18 years. cows and horses are my livelihood, but things have been going downhill this winter. coyotes round here have been gettin' kinda thick.
and last year, a couple people shot some outside there by the pond -- shot two of 'em. but they just keep, you know, gettin' worse. the coyotes are bad up in here. yeah, they are. we were out, and we heard a bunch of them. well, lemme tell you why you're all here. three weeks ago, i was laying in bed. it was probably 11:30, 12:00 at night. i heard somethin' up in there behind the barn.
it sounded like coyotes, but i couldn't tell if they had my dog or what they had down. i could hear 'em, you know -- sounded like they was fighting, barkin', raisin' hell. and i heard a screech. i didn't know what that was, so i jumped in the truck, went up to the barn, got up there, and i took my light and went around the bank area. and the closer i got, the quieter everything got.
so i walk around there, and i seen some tracks on the ground. i followed them around there, but when i got down there, there wasn't nothing there. they wasn't yipping and barking off in the distance anyplace? oh, no. something either scared 'em, or something run 'em off. so what you're telling me is that these coyotes were fighting this creature. i don't think this creature was attacking the coyotes
to eat them. i think he was attacking 'em because he was mad. what makes you think that? yeah. when i was looking around with my flashlight, i found something. both: what'd you see? hold on. i'll show you. mark said he found something that night that showed him the snallygaster wasn't attacking the coyotes for food. i've got to find out what it is.
this is why i knew he was mad. oh, wow. holy [bleep]. how many of these things are we up against? the snallygaster is a huge winged creature. there seems to be a battle going on between the snallygaster and the coyotes. trapper: snallygaster egg. look at that. that's definite proof there's more than one, guys. oh, my lord. oh, my gosh.
mark found a snallygaster egg. that tells us that there's more than one snallygaster out here. we don't know how many, but we know there's more than one. we're in a world of [bleep], guys. i'll tell you what was going on up here. the snallygaster kills coyotes. the coyote steals the damn snallygaster's eggs. there's a battle royale going on on that mountain. the snallygaster was going after the coyotes
because they stoled its egg. that's what the ruckus was all about. we now know for a fact there's a pair of 'em. yes. absolutely. there's a male and a female. yeah. and we don't know how many might be lurking in those mountains. aw, he's gonna be violent with a family unit. especially now. yes. one snallygaster --
one -- may be the most dangerous creature we've ever faced, but now that we know there's more than one snallygaster, it strikes fear in our hearts. i want to thank you, mark, for your information. appreciate it, mark. i may have a hard time getting them on that mountain. the trap to catch the snallygaster is a reverse catapult trap.
the next step is we have to build this box and construct it this box has to be very, very heavy to catch this creature. it'll be about 10 to 15 feet by 10 to 15 feet and about 10 foot tall. we got our pivot log, and we got our catapult log hoisted up between these two trees. next step is gonna be to hook my box up to one end and use the other end of the catapult log to lift the box. all right, willy. you good?
let's just see it'll pick it up off the ground. wild bill: all right, go! gouge on it, will. [ grunts ] ease up, bro! ease up! that's the best she gets right there. plan "b"! give it hell! [ revving ] hell yeah! torque on her! yeah, good job, will!
get up on it, will! get up on it! get up on it! [ creaking ] back to the ol' drawing board, brother. we tried to lift that trap up in the air. that 3,000-pound box is way too much for me and bill to hoist up into a tree. [ chuckles ] that team shows up here now, and we're not done? oh, yeah. ain't gonna be good. we're gonna be dog meat.
wild bill: here comes the old a-team. oh, boy, look at that. look at that. [ parking brake sets ] what a trap! look at that damn log up there. [ laughing ] it's quite a contraption, ain't it? oh, oh, yeah! [bleep] damn. trapper: willy's trap is phenomenal. this is a medieval beast. it's a medieval trap.
it's exactly what we need to catch this son of a bitch. we had great intentions, but that box is about 3,000 to 4,000 pounds. that thing weighs a...tons. yeah, you ain't got enough leverage. buck: willy's catapult trap's just too heavy, but we have to have a trap tonight. all we can do is adapt and overcome and hope for the best.
if you hook your side-by-side to my s.u.v. and pull my tail end of my s.u.v. back out that trail, it'll actually lift it. we're losing daylight. let's get her done. [ whooshing ] we'll all be sweating. i thought you could tie a knot! you show me how to tie one there. trapper: we gotta get this son of a bitch in the air.
it's getting [bleep] dark on us. let's get going. come on. prime on her! come on, buck. step on it! prime on her! prime on her! come on, buck! [ cheering ] yeah! yeah! whoo-hoo! we're moving! yeah, come on! come on, baby!
whoa, whoa! whoa! there it goes -- the top of the tree! tree's gone. wow. plan "b"! this was plan "b." well, plan "c" then. the box for the catapult trap was way too heavy. we end up breaking the whole top out of this maple tree trying to lift it. trapper: it's getting late, and we still need a trap.
we have to do something, and we have to do it now. we can't get it this way, guys. that's all. we've proved that. hell yeah. i'll tell you what we're gonna do. we're gonna go up on the upper side, and we're gonna use just [bleep]damn old west virginia manpower, and we're gonna pick that son of a bitch up. there ya go. yeah! let's get her done now. come on.
let's get this damn thing up in the air. huckleberry: we tried several different things to get this trap up in the air. we just can't do it. so, we stopped, thought about it a little bit, and the sons of west virginia come up with some hillbilly ingenuity, and we set up and old-time box trap. willy and i was setting these traps when you guys was still hanging around on the concrete.
kiss my ass, trapper. [ laughter ] i would, but it looks too much damn like your face. okay, i need some lifting power, guys. a box trap is very simple to build. you tip your box up. you set your trigger mechanism in it. he hits the trigger mechanism. the box fall over him. you got him. good job, gentleman. you got a trigger rope there, willy?
i sure do. hook her up, and we'll see if she works. you know we gotta try everything. as a trap builder, we always have to trial-and-error everything we do. and if we run into a problem, no big deal. we go back to another plan. but there's nothing gonna stop us from getting this trap ready for the night.
come on out here, will. whew! let's see if the baby works. comin' hot. comin' hot. you ready, guys? yeah! how did we did it in the old days. let her rip. [ cheering ] all right! yeah! hell yeah! that's what we're talking about. yeah!
well, let's get this son of a bitch back up in the air. let's get her up. get her up. get her baited. a box trap's a simple trap. they been using 'em for years to catch rabbits in this country. the only thing different is this one weighs about 2,000 pounds, and we're gonna catch a snallygaster in the damn thing. what've you got in there? it's a damn smorgasbord, isn't it?
the bait i got for the snallygaster is a little bit of everything. we're not real sure what he's eating, but we know he's killing coyotes. i went out, i trapped a beaver, a couple coons, and a couple big coyotes -- a snallygaster buffet. man, that's a pile of them, buckaroo. i figured that would do the trick.
trapper: buck brought us a smorgasbord of bait. if that don't attract him, nothing will. easy now. easy. she's tight now. easy, buck. easy. watch out. [ laughter ] she's hot now. damn good job, man. let's go grab our lights and the guns. we're ready to hunt. hell yeah. let's do this. let's go, guys.
let's go. all righty. let's go get ol' gallysnaster. when you're hunting monsters, nothing ever seems to work out the way you want it to, but we overcome. we've got a trap that works, it's baited, it's in the right spot, and we're ready. guys, this is a bad one. i mean a [bleep] damn bad one. this snallygaster about took us out the other night. he'll attack you on the ground.
he'll get you from the air. i'll tell you what we're gonna do. i'm gonna take huckleberry and jeff. we're gonna work this high ridge line. buck, you take wild bill and willy. you can work the low timber. all right. both teams is gonna work to the south right towards that son of a bitch's feeding area, where willy has a trap set.
we're either gonna catch a snallygaster in there or about 400 rabbits. keep your wits about you. keep your senses about you. it's all we can do. keep your eyeballs peeled in there, boys. we're all wore out, dead tired. when you get dead tired, your senses get numb. so we're gonna have to keep on our toes. i'm gonna have to keep on these boys, get 'em fired up.
you got to stay awake, stay alert, and be ready. we better get their asses out of here. lock and load, boys. lock and load. buck: the strategy for tonight's hunt is trapper's gonna take his team up in the high timber, i'm gonna take my team in the low timber, and we're both gonna push to the south, right towards the trap, right inthe snallygaster's feeding area. boy, it's gonna be tough to be able to pick it up in this rain.
you ain't kidding. everything's quiet. what's bad is you don't know whether to look on the ground or look in the sky. that son of a bitch could be hiding up in one of these big old pine trees. you'd never see it. man, this is thick in here, isn't it? you see any tops of the trees broke out? not yet, jeff.
i been keeping an eye out for it. you just don't know where he's gonna be. that's the problem. kinda gives you that eerie feeling. feel like something's staring down on us. yeah. [ vegetation rustling ] whoa! what was that? that was on the ground, guys.i heard it. i know.
it sounded like it come down from your left. unless he's down that way. nice and slow, brother. aw, man. check this out, guys. what are you seeing? the ground is all tore up. something big's been coming through here. boys, i tell you one thing. we better keep our ol' eyeballs peeled. you ain't a-kiddin'. we know he's on the ground.
that's the best part of a bad situation. something's got the top broke out of all these -- [ rustling ] whoa! what was that right there?! i see eyes! i see eyes! yeah, right there they are. right there they are, guys! there it is! i'll get a shot at it! aw, hell! something just took off out of there, guys. where'd they go?
how many eyes did you see, bill? i seen at least four or five. oh, boy. buck: we was working this big trail that we had found, and we heard a horrible commotion up on the hill, and then, when we looked up, we see not one set of eyes, but at least two set of eyes. we seen brush shaking, and then they just took off like it was nothing. these things are just as agile on the ground
as they are in the air. trapper. go ahead, buck. we just seen at least a couple of 'em. we heard a loud crash in the brush above us, and there was at least two sets of eyes. they bailed off over the hill. we just cleared the area, but it's opening up in here pretty good. there's no telling how many of these things are in here.
okay, keep me posted. ten-four. we're gonna clearing this area, and then we're gonna keep moving. yeah, we're doing the same thing. buck: everything about this hunt's bad. everything about it's bad. go easy, trapper. that's a good tree if we need to find cover under something, guys. okay.
boy, this gets the old blood pumping, don't it? i'm tellin' ya. my heart's about ready to jump out -- holy [bleep]! what do you got? son of a bitch! look how big. it's a [bleep] nest! [ shrieks ] the snallygaster's killing a lot of the animals in this country here. they kill things and take it back to the nest.
these people need to take this thing in heed, because it will kill other animals -- and possibly a human. holy [bleep]! what do you got? we was right off this ridge line. up along the base of this big tree, i come around the root ball. right there's the damn nest! son of a bitch, look how big. damn!
walked right in on it. there's a damn deer leg in it. well, that ain't good. this nest's huge. it's probably 8 foot in diameter. we got to looking, and there's a fresh kill. there's a front quarter of a deer there with blood still dripping off of it. that son of a bitch gonna come back after that. let me sneak in there. trapper, be careful.
look up in the sky. well. man, this damn thing's huge. look how fresh, guys. there's still blood running out of it. look how he stripped the hide off of it. that's the same way a hawk does it. now we're in danger. yes, sir. we found his nest. there's fresh kill in it.
he's gonna be back. he's gonna come to us now. buck. buck. go, trapper. you gotta get to us. we found his [bleep] nest. did you say you found a nest? i'm standing right in the middle of the son of a bitch right now. get your ass up here. we're on our way. okay, to trapper's team. we gotta get to trapper's team. get to trapper. there's a lot of work when into this.
lots of it. i'd say this nest has been used -- [ shrieking ] [ men gasp ] where's it at? we got to get out of here, i can tell you that. right here, this tree, trapper, right here. go. holy [bleep]! there it is again! boys, we need help. he can get us from here.
i'm telling you what. we're gonna be in world of [bleep]. yeah, we're in trouble. trapper radioed for us to come up there to meet him, but there's no way we can break out of this cover to meet up with trapper. he's got to come back and get us. come on, guys. get to the damn side-by-side! [ engine starts ] too damn close. too damn close.
[ shouting, thud ] the hell was that? trapper, he's on us! he's on us! they're just dive-bombing on us! i think i hear 'em, guys. i hear 'em coming! [ shrieking ] i get a shot at him, i'm gonna take it! there they are! there they are! whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! get in the cab! get in! get in! get in there!
[ all shouting ] trapper, get us the hell out of here! we just met up with the other team. we got to go find us some damn cover. it's not safe in this side-by-side anymore. we got to find cover, boys! keep your eyes up! keep your eyes up! thing's here. i'm mean, i'm telling you, it's here. we don't know how many of these damn things there are!
hey, there's a house! there's a house! [ all shouting ] keep your eyes open! keep your eyes up, guys. look out. be ready! [ rifles clicking ] come on, guys. let's get 'em out! let's get inside. [ shrieking ] [ all shouting ] [ shouting continues ] let's go! get inside! wild bill: let's go, let's go! come on, let's go!
[ shouting continues ] [ bleep ] come on! get in there, trapper! buck: we was coming down the bottom of this mountain, and there's an old cabin. we're clear back here. we went in it for shelter, and these things are starting to surround the cabin. gotta cover the windows, guys. cover the windows, guys. i got this window covered in here! front door, i got the front door.
[ thud ] they're trying to come through the wall! they're gonna try to get in! we need to do something now! do it now! they're gonna rip this house down, boys! this old house ain't gonna hold up very long! trapper: now we're trapped in here! this is it. we're done. we're pinned. keep away from them windows, guys.
i think it quieted down a little bit, didn't it? yeah. i-i'm clear right here. this ain't good, boys. we're sitting ducks right here! [bleep] damn, be brave. we're well armed. and we got -- [ thudding ] there it is! there it is! oh! to see more of me
and the "mountain monsters" crew in action, go to... it's in the window! they're on the windows, trapper! they're gonna rip this house down, boys! now we're trapped in here. this is it. we're done. we're pinned. keep away from them windows, guys. yeah. [bleep] damn, be brave. we're well armed,
and we got -- [ thudding ] look! there it is! [ all shouting ] [ bleep ] buck's down! buck's down! what happened to him? i just seen him! they come through one of them doors, start blasting! hold your ground. [ thudding ] get your back against a wall. watch those windows. we got this covered. [ clattering ] oh...
whew.... listen, listen! ho! [ loud clatter ] coming in the ceiling! they're on the roof! they're trying to come through the ceiling! they're all over us here, guys. let's make a run for it! we gotta make a run for it. we gotta get off this damn mountain. we're going right out that front door,
full boar, all we can go. let's go! all right. let's get out of here. let's go! go, go, go, go, go, go, go! go, go, guys, come on, huck! come on, huck! buck: they're all trying to get in here. we want to get out. we got to make a run for the side-by-side and get off of this mountain. come on! up in the sky! come on, let's go!
get us off this mountain, trapper. [ bleep ] get us off this mountain! [ shrieking ] come on, trapper! go, go, go! [ thudding ] they're everywhere! just be careful! get us out of here! they're out for blood! [ shouting continues ] this is bad! this is bad! [ shrieking continues ] they're all over us!
we need a tank! get us to the truck and get us out of here! come on, keep going! keep going! we're clear back here! they'll give up here in a minute. we're a lot safer now than what we was, guys. we're in a good spot. we're in a good spot right here. let's go, let's go! get out of here! man, that was luck! damn!
i'm gonna tell you what. you talk about a close call, mister. lord, have mercy! all the way from the top of this damn mountain, these things have been attacking us. and we get about halfway, two-thirds down the mountain, and they just vanish. about that time we broke 1,000-foot elevation, they just left us and went back to the top of the mountain. and they can stay there.
i don't want no part of them suckers. i don't either. no, no. we made a decision to abandon this hunt. there was no way we could have fought that many. them gallerstasters, they was comin' in like a bunch of pterodactyls! it had to been three or four, wasn't there? the safety of the team became more important than continuing the hunt.
we was damn lucky to get out of that cabin. yes, we was. son of a bitch. i'm lucky to be alive today. [ bleep ] i mean, dive-bombing! i thought he was gonna wreck that side-by-side. there was just too many of them. we couldn't have done nothing with 'em. they was all over us. them gallysnasters, they're like pterodactyls,
and i hate 'em! all right, bill. take it easy, buddy. well, i'm ready to pack up and get the hell out of here. hell yeah! yeah! best thing i heard all night! let's get out of dodge! there's no doubt in my mind that this snallygaster is here in preston county. hell, we've heard it. [ shrieking ] we've seen it. he's on us! he's on us!
these damn things are here, and they're gonna stay here. trapper: the snallygaster kicked our ass tonight. and there's more than one. we've seen pictures of him. we found his nest. we seen his egg. he's here. we're lucky to get this team out of here alive. buck: let's go home, trapper. trapper: hell yeah! wild bill: huh! the gallysashter can stay here!
