Mountain Monsters returns tonight on Destination America — and the Season 5 premiere sees the Appalachian Investigators of Mysterious Sightings (AIMS) group turning from hunters to the hunted.

But Buck — the youngest member of the group — is adamant that they need to find the Rogue Team and meet them face to face.
After having a trap dismantled, they need to find out a) who did the dirty work and b) who hired them to do it.

So when Buck convinces them that meeting the rival group will allow them to put this whole sorry episode behind them, some of the others quickly sign up.
But it causes a rift between the group and things don’t go to plan when they finally meet the Rogue Team, when several members of AIMS end up getting abducted…
