The Legend of the Ozark Howler (or Hellhound): Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri

The Ozark Howler (AKA the Black Howler, the Hellhound and the Devil Cat) is a legendary creature that supposedly lives in remote areas in Missouri. It's usually described as being the size of a large bear, with a thick body, stocky legs, black shaggy hair, glowing red eyes, and visable horns. Its cry is described as being a combination of a wolf's howl, an elk's bugle, and the laugh of a hyena.
The earliest legend of the Ozark Howler is of a meeting between Daniel Boone and the creature in Missouri in the early 1800s! Boone is purported to have fired his gun at the Ozark Howler but must have missed.
We learned from the Boone mistake and devised our own way to capture the elusive hellhound! Did it work? Watch the vid and find out!
