Premise
The AIMS team are a self-styled cryptozoology research team founded by West Virginians John "Trapper" Tice, Jeff Headlee, and Willy McQuillian. Their goal is to prove the existence of mysterious creatures such as Bigfoot, Werewolf, Hellhound, Lizard Man, and Mothman. The episodes normally begin with Trapper, Jeff, Huckleberry, and Buck discussing the specific creature they are hunting on the way to the location where the creature was spotted. They then meet with eyewitnesses who have encountered the creature, giving the team an idea of where to conduct an initial night investigation to find evidence of the creature being in the area.
After concluding their initial night hunt, Willy and Wild Bill begin work on a trap to contain the creature while the rest of the team searches for more evidence, meeting with additional eyewitnesses who normally possess photographic, video or audio evidence of the creature. After testing the completed trap the team begins the final night hunt.
The creatures are, supposedly, occasionally caught on camera, such as the Cave Creature. They are also shown as a digital rendering that appears before and after commercial breaks. The team attempts to capture these creature (with Hogzilla and three Devil Dogs being their most recent trapped creatures). In some instances the team places trail cameras and/or infrared camcorders near the trap to capture photographic evidence of the creature in question. They have caught fleeting, blurry images of what they claim to be the Grassman, Shadow Creature, Cherokee Death Cat and the Black Wolf on camera, to name but a few. More recently the recurring Rogue Team has spied on and sabotaged the AIMS team and their investigations.

Finding Bigfoot "feud"
On April 5, 2015, Matt Moneymaker of Finding Bigfoot tweeted that Mountain Monsters was scripted and the AIMS team were merely actors. This led to "Trapper" John Tice directly responding and referring to Moneymaker's show as "Losing Bigfoot". The online feud has continued with Finding Bigfoot castmember Cliff Barackman chiming in that the show is "fiction" and the official Finding Bigfoot Twitter account calling Mountain Monsters a "fake-hoax" show in regards to the series' April 2017 return. On May 30, 2017, the official AIMS Brasil Twitter account responded by saying that Finding Bigfoot "do not find anything"..
