"WHAT IS A HODAG," you ask? It is a mythical beast that was rumored to stalk Wisconsin's Northwoods at the turn of the last century. Eugene Shepard from Rhinelander capitalized on the rumors by turning the non-existent mythical animal into a home-made sideshow-attraction at the County Fair. News stories about the ferocious beast he "captured" spread coast-to-coast. But when The Smithsonian came to see the live Hodag -- Shepard admitted it was a hoax. Over a Century later, my hometown of Rhinelander is still "HOME OF THE HODAGS." About this channel: It started with an elk video in '07 with music from Paul Winter in the background. Today, subscribers to Back-Stage Hodag71 will find underappreciated and/or unknown artists who fly under the radar. Thanks for watching, Enjoy the variety. - MeadowGrass Mike (a.k.a. Hodag71)
