I like crypto shows, but...

This one is following the formula of finding bigfoot and other faked reality shows.

First the head hillbilly and the rest have no firsthand experience with these creatures they go after, never have seen them for themselves yet they come up with these jackass theories that they pass off as fact and of course insist these things (grass man , devil dog or whatever) will kill a person...yet there is nothing to support that notion...for crying out loud, they haven't even done their so called investigation for 5 minutes before they know everything about it.

Secondly, what ever happened to sit back and wait to lure something in? You for 7 or 8 of these morons running about the woods with I presume l loaded weapons and the camera crew...so the odds of them finding a damn thing is next to nothing and the odds of them blowing each others heads off is very likely...

And yet magically they get twigs snapping, growling and unknown images on the thermals...

Is it too much to ask for a semi serious and objective show on this type of subject matter? I guess this is what they assume fans of this type of stuff will go for.

I highly doubt the guns are loaded. I can't even imagine how many insurance forms you'd have to fill out just to be a cameraman if they were. I wouldn't take that job; filming five idiots with loaded weapons. Even though they know it's staged, that is just too risky.

What's truly ironic about this is that Mountain Monsters is EXACTLY the caliber of show that Failing Bigfoot has spawned. Personally, I hate FB but really enjoy Mountain Monsters specifically for what it is, not what it should be. When an audience supports crap, it then begets even more crap. Mountain Monsters is contrived nonsense, but it's a hell of a lot more enjoyable than the Moneymaker Parade of Idiots by far.

I don't know about the other shows you mention but the annoying part is how they try to sell us on the notion that they really know what the hell they're doing.

Real hunters or trappers don't go wandering around with another six or eight people all together with loaded weapons- firing away as soon as they hear a twig snap! I've been hunting & most of my friends hunt regularly & these clowns are nothing but wanna-be country boys who are (thankfully) given blanks to fire.

If that part were true by sunrise you'd have a couple dead "hunters" and a couple of blown away cameramen...
