“It Wasn’t My Choice!” Buck Jacob Lowe Finally Breaks His Silence—The DARK, UNEXPECTED REASON Mountain Monsters Is Over… and It’s Not What You Think 💥👁️

Ladies, gentlemen, and cryptid enthusiasts of all kinds — buckle your seatbelts and grab your thermal cameras, because the truth about Mountain Monsters just dropped harder than a trapdoor under the Kentucky Hellhound.

After years of eerie silence, fan petitions, and conspiracy theories involving everything from Bigfoot to network sabotage, Jacob “Buck” Lowe — yes, that Buck — has finally revealed why the show that made him a reality-TV legend won’t be returning.

And according to Buck himself, the answer is far stranger (and funnier) than anyone ever imagined.

For the uninitiated (which basically means anyone who’s never stayed up past midnight watching grown men yell “WHAT WAS THAT?!” into the Appalachian darkness), Mountain Monsters was the Discovery/Travel Channel’s gloriously chaotic reality show about a group of burly, camo-clad hunters tracking mythical beasts across the American wilderness.

The AIMS Team — Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings — wasn’t your typical monster-hunting squad.

They were equal parts fearless, reckless, and delightfully ridiculous.

And right at the heart of it all stood Buck Lowe, the lovable everyman with the beard, the big laugh, and a habit of running straight toward danger when every sane person would run the other way.

So when Buck vanished from the small screen, fans panicked.

“Did he get eaten by the Mothman?” one Twitter user cried.

“Is he living in a cave with Bigfoot now?” another posted, only half-joking.

 

Online forums exploded with theories.

Some said he quit because of creative differences.

Others claimed he’d gone “off-grid. ”

And a few truly committed fans insisted he’d joined a secret cryptid protection agency.

But now, in a bombshell confession that’s breaking hearts and lighting up Reddit threads everywhere, Buck himself has set the record straight.

“I just couldn’t do it anymore,” he said in a recent livestream that has since been replayed, dissected, and meme-ified to oblivion.

“The monsters got too real. ”

Cue collective gasps across the fandom.

Of course, the internet immediately went berserk.

Did he mean real as in “they actually exist,” or real as in “reality TV drama got unbearable”? Naturally, Buck refused to clarify — because teasing fans with cryptic statements is practically a Mountain Monsters tradition.

But as the livestream went on, his comments painted a picture that was part burnout, part absurdity, and all chaos.

“Look, man,” he said, chuckling, “you can only spend so many nights running through the woods yelling at shadows before you start yelling at your toaster, too. ”

According to Buck, filming the show took a toll on everyone.

“We were always cold, tired, and being chased by things that probably weren’t there,” he explained.

“Half the time it was a raccoon, the other half it was production throwing rocks to make it sound spooky. ”

He described one particularly harrowing night when a “monster sighting” turned out to be a disgruntled local wearing camouflage and holding a garden rake.

“I thought it was the West Virginia Werewolf,” Buck joked.

“Turns out it was just Gary from down the road. ”

But in true tabloid fashion, this tale wouldn’t be complete without a twist — and oh boy, did Buck deliver.

“The truth is,” he said, lowering his voice like he was about to drop government secrets, “we actually found something once.

Something we weren’t supposed to. ”

 

The chat instantly exploded.

“WHAT DID YOU FIND, BUCK?!” fans typed furiously.

But the man, ever the master of suspense, simply smiled and said, “Let’s just say the network didn’t want that footage airing. ”

Was it a cover-up? A genuine discovery? A raccoon with a God complex? No one knows for sure, but that didn’t stop online “experts” from jumping in.

Dr. Marvin Hensley, a self-proclaimed cryptid historian (and, suspiciously, a man with a YouTube channel), said, “If Buck claims they found something, we should listen.

The AIMS crew might’ve stumbled onto classified territory — either government or interdimensional. ”

Meanwhile, a TV insider told Reality Confidential magazine that the show was canceled due to “creative exhaustion and too many lawsuits from people claiming the team trespassed while hunting invisible monsters. ”

Still, not everyone’s buying Buck’s mysterious explanation.

Some fans think he’s just tired of being the meme poster boy for grown men screaming in night vision.

“He’s pulling a classic ‘I’m out while I’m still a legend’ move,” said one commenter on Facebook.

“Respect.

But we still want answers. ”

Others point out that Buck’s cryptic “we found something” could be a genius marketing move for a potential reboot.

“You think it’s over?” one Redditor wrote.

“This is Season Eight hype disguised as a confession.

Dude’s a genius. ”

But if you listen closely to Buck’s tone — somewhere between nostalgic and traumatized — it’s clear the man has seen things.

“After years of chasing monsters, you start realizing maybe the real monsters are the ones holding the boom mic,” he laughed.

 

“Nah, I’m kidding.

Kind of.

” He admitted that production pressure, endless re-shoots, and the physical toll of constant wilderness living made the job feel less like an adventure and more like a survival test.

“My boots had more holes than the plotlines,” he joked.

And yet, despite all the sarcasm, Buck’s fondness for the show is undeniable.

“Those were some of the best times of my life,” he admitted.

“We were a family.

A dysfunctional, sleep-deprived, monster-chasing family, but a family. ”

He also dropped some bittersweet updates about the rest of the crew — hinting that most have moved on to quieter lives.

“We still talk sometimes,” he said.

“Usually about the dumb stuff we did.

Like that time we thought we caught a lizard monster and it was just a frog with attitude. ”

Still, the part that really broke fans’ hearts was when he made it clear: Mountain Monsters is gone for good.

“There’s no bringing it back,” Buck said with a sigh.

“The magic’s gone.

The mountains haven’t changed, but we have. ”

Cue dramatic music, emotional montages, and thousands of comments begging him to reconsider.

Of course, not everyone believes the “it’s over” story.

Some sharp-eyed fans noticed that Buck kept referring to the show in the past tense — except once, when he slipped and said, “When we do go back out there— I mean, when we used to go out there. ”

Naturally, conspiracy-loving viewers took that as a hidden clue.

 

“He’s planning something,” one wrote.

“Mark my words: he’s teasing a documentary.

Probably called Buck vs.

Bigfoot: The Final Hunt. ”

Meanwhile, Discovery Channel has stayed as silent as a shadow in the woods.

When pressed for comment, a spokesperson allegedly said, “We wish Buck and the AIMS team the best in all their future adventures. ”

Translation: they’re not confirming or denying anything — which, of course, only makes fans scream louder.

Perhaps the most ironic part of this whole saga is that Buck himself seems totally at peace.

“I love the fans,” he said.

“I love the weirdness of it all.

But life’s too short to keep pretending every tree branch is a cryptid. ”

These days, he’s reportedly working on smaller projects, living a low-key life, and occasionally posting wilderness photos that still get dissected by die-hard fans looking for hidden monsters in the background.

“I can’t even post a picture of a squirrel without someone asking if it’s the Grassman,” he laughed.

And that’s the beauty of it, isn’t it? The line between myth and man, monster and meme, blurred forever in the fog of Appalachia.

Whether Buck’s story ends here or not, Mountain Monsters has carved itself into reality-TV legend — a show so gloriously absurd that even its cast couldn’t tell where fiction ended and folklore began.

In the end, Buck Lowe’s confession doesn’t just explain why Mountain Monsters won’t return.

It perfectly sums up why it worked in the first place.

It was never really about catching monsters — it was about the hunt itself.

The camaraderie.

The madness.

The willingness to sprint into the woods at 3 A. M. yelling at shadows while America watched from their couches eating chips.

 

Still, we can’t help but hope.

Because let’s be real — if Buck ever decided to return, we’d all tune in faster than you can say “Sasquatch. ”

Maybe, one day, he’ll change his mind.

Maybe the lure of the wild — and a fat streaming contract — will call him back.

Until then, fans will keep rewatching the classics, debating his cryptic comments, and clinging to the hope that somewhere out there, deep in the foggy woods, Buck’s still got one last monster left to chase.

And if not — well, at least he finally answered the question we’ve been screaming for years: why Mountain Monsters won’t return.

The answer? Because, in Buck’s words, “Some legends should stay legends. ”

Of course, coming from the guy who once tried to catch a seven-foot Hairy Man with a fishing net, we’re taking that with a very large, very suspicious grain of salt.
