Going into the woods and making howler noises to scare people off has to be the most scooby doo like thing I've ever heard. It seems art imitates life

The Moonshiner’s howl getting the captive red wolves to respond makes me wonder if there are wild wolves that have been interacting with moonshiners for the last century.

I thought the old moonshiner was shitfaced and/or goofy af when he gave his version of the howl..... until the wolves all reacted and chimed in. DUDE!!! Coolest video EVER!!!!!!

"your secret is safe with me".... post it up on the internet lol

I laughed when the wolves responded to the Moonshine maker's howl. He's one of them

Jeez Forrest galante makes me want to become a conservationist just to be able to interact with these people who enthusiastically try to keep these endangered species thriving the red wolfs howling at the moonshiners call gave me chills it’s so exciting

As an Arkansan, I love to see segments like this done on the wildlife of our great country. Growing up in the woods we've always heard tales of creatures that howl in the night. Some folks understood it was partly people expanding on the legend of a real creature to protect their property/equipment. But it's awesome to see some science going into proving that tales of the Ozark Howler are real and go back to a creature as majestic, necessary, and primal as the Red Wolf.

Great to see the hospitality of this genuine man. Nothing could be better than saying hello to the local people. ❤❤

I’m the founder of four Australian wildlife groups, I’m definitely an expert of “Nothing” lol, but I love helping our wildlife, and helping others. This is by far one of the “COOLEST” videos I’ve ever seen. From the expression on Jess’ face, tasting the “LEMONADE” 😂 to the Wolves responding to the moonshiners call. And obviously the crew getting tipsy 😂 Thank you so much, for making the perfect blend of Good Goosebump content. I “THOROUGHLY” enjoyed watching this video, I’m still grinning like an absolute freak at my iPhone 7 🤣🤣🤣 You guys rock lol

I am from missouri and I live very close to the ozarks. I hunt hike and fishing them. I have seen on two occasions wild red wolves in the ozarks mountains. Everyone says I'm full of it, but I'm well versed in canidid species, they're definitely reds!refs! And that's exactly the howl... They're still out here....

A decent amount of older folks in the missouri Ozarks will still tell you that wolf's exist in the Ozarks, which isn't that surprising considering Missouri department of conservation denied mountain existence and claimed bears were incredibly rare in the area (which neither is true).

I know there WERE red wolves at least in 80’s and 90’s in Cades Cove in Pigeon Forge, TN Smoky Mountains…

Omg her ONE EYED SQUINT at the moonshine was PRICELESS!! That’s the good stuff right there lol

Great video! Love the ol timers! Now as one who lives in the boothills, I guarantee you there are things MUCH bigger and more mysterious than red wolves.. things that throw boulders, bend big cedar trees, and walks bipedal.

I love how he just roasts his crew in the presence of a legend of a Man.

Hey, what about the Ozark Howler? All we're getting is a moonshiner and some wolves??

Secret is safe on youtube 😂

That old shiner is the DOPE.

Yes we need these back in Missouri

Dont show my location. Proceeds to show where he is making his moonshine. Well done taking his little of life left

I love how understanding first is, the locals have so much knowledge and he understands that

"Secret safe with us" , 🤫🤐😶

Amazing how many people don't even know this beautiful animal exists

I’m 29 years old and live over 8 hours away from my family it’s just me and my two children. He reminds me of my neighbor he’s in his late 50s and he checks on me all the time as if I was his own family.

Secrets safe then precedes to give away the position

The way how all of this unfolded was much better than finding some cryptic animal

7:19 getting rid of the sick and the weak. That hit home for me 😂

Police caught these guy for sure lol

Yes! My grandpa would go out and scare city boys and poachers off his land by sneaking around their camps and making scary noises. He's lucky he didn't get shot. It did keep people off the land.

I would love to see these guys in my woods

Dude took a couple of shots and kept working. He’s a G and his wife !

A tent down by the river? At least it's not...A VAN...DOWN BY THE RIVER!

"Secret's safe with us... HEY KZfaq, THIS GUY OVER HERE IS BREWING MOONSHINE! YOU SEE HIM?! RIGHT OVER HERE!"

Wonder how the hangover was after that moonshine 😂

Shit! I want some of that mans moonshine.

That wasn’t homemade moonshine. I could tell. the lab test was weak because we already knew it was a canine what we need to know if the DNA is a Red Wolf. This video was especially entertaining for misinformed people

Im a wild Red wolf photographer and conservationist. If youd like to see them in the wild and know whats really killing them.... Feel free to contact me. I also just woke up to them howling at 230 in the morning. l live half my life in a tent near the wolves.

As soon as he pulled out the pelt I knew it was a wolf/coyote

Just saying that skull and pelt even kept in truck from the 20s would look alot older than that

Your secrets safe with us…😂

i legit thought the opening of this video was a modded RDR 2

That's a coyote pelt. Could be a red wolf? Looks like the common coyotes in the Missouri and Arkansas Ozarks.

"im glad you survived 😆"

When in doubt find a moonshiner

I've had apple pie shine before, man it was good. That and a pizza the night before a FOP bass fishing tournament, was a lot of fun.

08:24 Group of teenagers: is he still sane or something Literaly 3 seconds later,the wolves howl back Group of teenagers: *OH SHI---* 😱!

Love Forest, so I don't want to be shitting on anyone, but how did Andy need to go hear a wolf howl to know what a wolf howl sounds like? Like they sounded normal. You're telling me the guy had no idea what he heard was a wolf?

Snipe hunting anyone 😂

I’ve seen a wild red wolf in parker county and my friend saw a pair about 10 miles away. It’s near a creek. There’s a breeding program at fossil rim in Somerville county

That was low-key fake when they went up to the guy’s house…and he’s like “what are you doing here?!” Then “guys, cameras off!” Cause he’s making moonshine. Yeah, idk about all that. Sounded pretty scripted.

I have seen on of those in Missouri

Are there any actual alleged Ozark howler recordings? I can’t find a single one not one anywhere of anyone even claiming they’ve got one, not even as a prank. Search pollution has become so horribly bogged down.

Love how this all played out like a skyrim quest

This guy is awesome I want to meet him so bad

Just finished Expidition X's episode on the Ozark Howler and while their call capture sound a little different, I could see it being one of these maybe doing like a short howl a few times.

Maybe the old man isn't telling. That pelt is obviously nothing close to the descriptions of people who have seen these things close up and personal. Red wolves are smaller wolves that resemble coyotes. They don't have long black hair or walk on their hind legs, to my knowledge.

So what was it?

I may be wrong and will look into it better but I thought most all animal hair had a medulla? Making it a fur rather then hair. Stiffer.

"Bob..is that you?"

My buddy caught a collard red wolf in a foothold trap in FarmVille nc!

That was the fakest of fakes I have seen on "reality" TV. The cranky moonshiner trope... that turns into the happy hillbilly trope... the trickery and foreshadowing of the moonshiner's Ozark howl vs. the recorded Red Wolf howl. Wow! I have a pelt... wow, I have a skull... wow, I can perform on demand. This episode would be entertaining for children... not adults.

That old man is my hero

Not a chance in hell that skull and pelt were 100 years old

Those red wolves look like the coyotes here in West Virginia

Talladega county Alabama, I'm quite sure they are here

These animals are still in the Ozarks.

Doesn’t North Carolina have the red wolf in alligator river

That's the Ozark Howler. It is a Red Wolf.

I know people that say they have seen them here is south Carolina

Timber wolves have been cross breeding with coyotes in the Midwest for over 200 years.. I shot a coyowolf on my 25 acres of property just east of Denver and it was enormous.. 110lbs and a massive set of teeth to boot 😅🐺

Solved everything in 30 seconds lol

City people. We in the country hear that howl every nite.

Why do they have to script shows about people actually trying to find stuff? Makes it all feel fake

There's no such thing as being a expert.

Might as well sample the product, we'll ok then let's drink

No one believes me I SAW A RED WOLF I've seen coyotes and I've seen normal wolves I've seen foxes. This was none of those the only thing I have seen that looks like it is a red wolf. They aren't extinct they're just hiding in the Appalachians.

Despite being scripted, still entertaining.

I believe we still have them in Nebraska on the Missouri River but these guys just say there wierd looking coyotes and keep shooting them

We need apex predators and the predators down the food chain

Farest Galateantei

American red wolf ? That coat is not even slightly red.

beautiful wolves

I really hope no one goes lookin for that man. He seems like a good dude, leave him be lol.

Wild episode

The ultimate Brologist! Check out his podcast “The Wild Times”

Definitely still have red wolves in east texas

It is a red wolf. When the population dropped, they start howling at night to find one another

they problem is that most of red wolves useed to restore the population have been found to be crossbred with coyote

Secret save with us💀 Views:110k

They gone be drunk as shit,!

Now ya gone stuck him on KZfaq FFS 😆😆💯🥶

I seen one in Virginia

This is fuckin cool

Well I really just wanted to know if that was woodpeckers that I saw an hour and your comment that I made the redhead maid a creamy white chest white tail feathers dark wings

So sorry it's Adrian again, I also wanted to tell you here in Talladega county Alabama we have so many reptiles of every description turtles frogs snakes lizard skinks salamander and I thought I saw a very large one it calls me to jump back bright blue or green and it look like a mouse that uncovered now and I was probably seeing things but I was near swamp swampy area anyway it does fascinate me the amount of things that are living out here still as I am from a small City in which 8 lb animals were going missing and I was trying to explain that the pair red tail hawks above their head and they all we're probably getting them but they insisted they were coyotes there were not any coyotes in Birmingham AL

Omg it's just a coyote

I was getting a single wolf warning because I had to walk to the store and I would go past where she was dendup off the side of the road in the country so she would give me a wuff, and it was very low just directed at me as she was familiar with me and she just wanted to warn me that she was there that was her place and yeah she was running with a large shaggy white beautiful male he had gotten hit by a car and killed on the highway

Woo Pig Sooie!!!

I wish to be a zookeeper when I grow up

Moonshiners exist this deep into the 21st century?
