## Summary

On the road, Trapper declares AIMS is on mission to prove the existence of Bigfoot in the Appalachian mountains, and the first stop is Central Kentucky after the Midnight Whistler supposedly the first bigfoot in the mountains. The reason for the teams new mission is as they have known of Bigfoot living in Appalachia they are now determined to prove to the rest of the world. Trapper then explains to Buck about the Bigfoot in question Midnight Whistler which is to seven to eight half foot tall, 400-500 pounds, jet black fur and glowing green eyes and is nocturnal. Jeff says the Midnight Whistler first sighted years ago by the Iroquois Indians and now people are hearing strange whistling noise which they cant explain Buck sounds like whistling noise makes Trapper says much louder able to be heard from one holler to the next Trapper says upon Buck asking about the Midnight Whistler being the first Bigfoot that he believes all Bigfoots in Appalachia originated in the mammoth caves in Kentucky the Grassman the Yahoo and the Midnight Whistler Huckleberry asks Buck how he feels about going after another Bigfoot after his injury caused by the Grassman and Buck informs the team he was hurt so bad he almost wasn't allowed to go hunting with the team anymore showing a note from his mom which says she doesn't think Trapper is being careful with Buck and if he continues to put him in danger will be in danger. The team gets laugh out of this and Huckleberry jokes about how even Bigfoots wouldn't stand chance against Buck's mom. Trapper announces that the quest has officially begun to which the team cheers.

In Central Kentucky, the team meets with their first eyewitnesses couple named Eric and Wavie who own large Property near the woods Eric says playing the Harmonica outside lately and after giving. Demonstration says, began to hear whistling noises coming from the woods which keep Getting closer and closer The only reason can think of why this is is because of the harmonica Trapper says that since they use a juvenile distress call to drawn in animals for hunting believes Midnight Whistler could be mistaking the playing of the harmonica for distress call Wavie says that they were sitting outside one night when she saw two green glowing eyes staring out from the woods them after that she went in the house Judging by the whistle and the green eyes the team is positive the Midnight Whistler.

    Eric says they can search for the creature on they property and so the team thanks them and prepares for the night investigation. On the first night investigation Trapper and the team prepare to begin the quest to prove the existence of Bigfoot, on the high ridge by the witnesses cabin. Trapper mentions that since Buck has been with them for so long no longer a rookie. Buck asks what he is now to which Trapper says Buck Private Jeff reminds the team the Midnight Whistler is the only fully nocturnal Bigfoot, and Buck compares it's ability to see in the dark to trying to look through night vision scope in day light which would burn your eyes which he believes why the Bigfoot only comes out night After beginning to search the area, the team notices beat down grass and discover what appears to be trail not used consistently Suddenly they hear stick snap but are unable to see anything the woods are to thick Trapper has Huckleberry play note on his harmonica Shortly after they hear noise from the woods and so they play another note but get no response Trapper decides to keep going and they discover another trail Leading down into creek where they find freshly broken branch of Paw Paw leaves Trapper theories the Midnight Whistler is carrying Paw Paw fruit and eating goes along they keep walking, Trapper realizes they are inside structure huge nest.

    Not only is the nest very large but very fresh the freshest they have ever found Buck notices walnuts piled up on the ground apparently food source Since the Midnight Whistler isn in the nest right now is likely out feeding so the team decides to return in the morning believing they might catch sleeping They have no idea what will happen when they return but they certainly will Next morning Wild Bill prepares to meet Willy and gets into hilly suit to surprise him Willy shows up and says while the others go see the Bigfoot is in nest him and Bill are going to get to work on trap Willy waits for Bill to show up when Bill crawls up behind him and surprises him After Willy tells Bill impressed by his camouflage he shows him little model of his idea for trap

    The bush camouflage trap is very similar to the nest the team found much larger and a giant dome to hold the Midnight Whistler The trap will be made of bent trees made into dome and then they will wrap grapevines and wire around then anchor to the ground Once the rig trap door to the front they will be to catch the Bigfoot They then begin cutting down trees to for building material Meanwhile Trapper Huckleberry and Jeff stand by their up the ridge from where the found the nest the night before Even though they don't know what will happen when they arrive they know they must go back They slowly move through the field they were in the previous night and make to the stream where they found the nest they walk down the stream they hear snap in the woods On alert for moment Trapper has them continue could have just been dead fall they nervously continue Trapper spots the nest whispers to the team to walk around to the back of instead of going in the entrance When they get to the back of the nest Trapper looks inside and believes sees something within Shocked that the Bigfoot may be inside

     they slowly creep to the front only to discover is only pile of grasses bed Even though the Midnight Whistler isn in the nest they are able to tell in there after they in the pile of Grass flattened down the last time They believe the Bigfoot was in the nest laid down for while but then left This tells that another nest some where Huckleberry thinks the Midnight Whistler probably angered by them being in the nest which Trapper agrees with Even though the Midnight Whistler is there now they know still in the so they will have Willy and Bill build trap close by With that the team leaves Later Wild Bill and Willy look for spot for the trap quarter mile away from the nest Finding large trail possibly made by the Midnight Whistler they get to tying their logs and then host into the air to make dome Using Climbing Equipment they Hook up Pulleys onto Branches and lift their logs into the air.

     With the logs made into the dome, they hammer them into the ground then they go for break Meanwhile Trapper Huckleberry and Jeff meet with their next eyewitness outdoorsman named Mikey who sighting of the Midnight Whistler Mikey says weeks ago decide one morning good day to hunt for mushrooms. Jeff says that some people in Appalachia collect mushrooms and use source of money. Mikey continues and tells them when he got down to the creek he noticed the ground was beat down and all the mushrooms were gone. Trapper torn up like wild turkey or deer would do Mikey says didn't look like deer turkey or chipmunks then noticed large footprints which were quite deep Wanting to get picture of hat made them he got his game camera and after leaving out got a picture of the thing which took the mushroom. Showing the team the chip Jeff puts it into his phone and the team is shocked to see close up photo of the Midnight Whistler face

     The team is very impressed by the picture which Jeff says is the closest one of Bigfoot seen. Trapper thanks Mikey for the info the trio leaves Huckleberry says the Midnight Whistler coming up to the camera no coincidence because they believe the creature is curious and wants to investigate which they intend to use on the hunt.

On the road, Buck drives back to Central Kentucky says been gone for the last few days because recently gotten promotion his job which has more responsibilities happy to return for the hunt.

Back to the trap, Willy and Bill are just putting the finishing touches on when Trapper Huckleberry Jeff and Buck show up They think the trap is very well camouflaged appearing very similar to the nest and are sure the Midnight Whistler will have to come check out They then are shown the inside of the trap and Willy says reinforced the perimeter on the inside and outside so the Midnight Whistler goes in and sets of the door trapped.

    Willy explains that the trigger will be a stick attached to rope and once the stick is pulled the door will fall and the locking mechanism will be set off. Willy tests the trap out while the rest of the team watches and works perfectly After they bait the trap with Paw Paw fruit apples and red blood berries they get ready for the night hunt
At night, the team assembles in the woods and Trapper reminds them of the importance of the hunt to prove the existence of Bigfoot. He also tells them that the Midnight Whistler is the most athletic and faster than Bigfoot they dealt with in the past splits them into two teams Buck Willy and Wild Bill will move from the west towards the nest while Huckleberry and Jeff will move towards the creek where the photo taken both teams make their way through the thick brush Willy spots eye up in tree Buck decides to break stick in half and throws in the direction of the tree hoping to cause the creature to come to the other side of While they wait they hear knocking sound which they believe is tree knock form of communication used by Bigfoot They hear another tree knock and Buck believes the Midnight Whistler is answering them after heard him break that stick. He radios Trapper and tells him what happened and Trapper says that tree knock is definitely Bigfoot sign so they need to keep their eyes and ears open They continue to the creek and come upon the nest and once they find is empty they enter Inside the huge nest they suddenly hear something on top of followed by a squalling noise. This sends Willy running the nest and after which something black head over the hill Realizing the Midnight Whistler is near. Buck radios Trapper for help who leads his team to them. When Trapper team arrives, Buck tells them the Bigfoot was sitting up in tree and then jumped down on the nest. They also inform them the Bigfoot didn't whistle appeared to scream them Huckleberry suggests that the Midnight Whistler may have been up in the tree watching them the last two times they were at the nest For now, they are unable to follow the creature over the ridge because is too high so they have to think of new plan Buck says they heard the tree knocks only half mile away, so there might more than one Bigfoot and not having anything to lose they decide to take the into the thick brush after. However, they drive through the field they find almost impossible to tell where they going and soon go past where they heard the tree knocks Suddenly Trapper shouts in surprise and the rest of the team sees what just seen. In small clearings, there is structure made of three sticks Getting out of the team sees several large mounds of dirt some of which are nearly ten feet long.

     Although they have creepy feeling about the place, the team begins to argue whether not burial ground Willy anyone has seen grave sight like this before and Jeff says seen one a whole lot alike. Buck knows there aren't any active Native American tribes in the area and the sight is so well kept something has been taking care of Trapper is still sure not burial ground Buck and Huckleberry disagree so Buck figures the only way to find out is to dig one up starts digging up one of the piles the team hears shrill ear piercing whistles coming from the woods. Startled by the sounds, the team points there weapons up the hill and Jeff catches several heat signatures on his thermal.

     They keep hearing more whistles from different directions and after seeing even more on the camera Trapper decides they have to make run for The team rushes to the and drives away fast once their little farther away they stop positive they are safe Buck says since they didn't know how many there were and they were so far away from the trap the best thing to do was get out of dodge Relieved by their narrow escape the team tries to figure out how many Bigfoot there were which around six Huckleberry is also positive they were set off by Buck touching the grave which everyone agrees with Trapper recaps that they found the Midnight Whistlers nest saw picture of him and heard his whistle and they made an incredible discovery Even though the aren't sure what they found burial ground. The Midnight Whistlers were very protective of just like people and creatures are with things of importance to the. Buck jokes sarcastically about how the team wanted him in such hurry to dig up that grave, which he says he didn't want to do Wild Bill says they had to twist his arm to get him to do and Huckleberry says he looked like cat in litter box. The team finally gets back in the and heads for home and Trapper says this was the first stop on their quest to prove Bigfoot is fact and their aren't done. During the credits, Trapper returns ten weeks later with camera man and said that though they thought they hunt for the Midnight Whistler, they learned the area they found burial ground and he begins to dig up. They started looking for proof of Bigfoot existence and says looks in the hole just found.
