'Mountain Men' Star Jake Herak Lost Two of His Dogs Ahead of Season 10

What took place to Clutch, one of Jake Herak's most depended on veteran dogs, on 'Mountain Men?' In Season 10, Jake published that his dog had died.

The History Channel series Mountain Men follows a set of self-sufficient survivalists across the United States who are dwelling completely off-the-grid. Since the docu-series debuted in 2012, audience have noticed those frontiersmen fight the weather, including extreme weather prerequisites and threatening wildlife.

Montana-based lion hunter Jake Herak joined the solid of Mountain Men in Season 7, and he quickly turned into a fan favourite as a result of of his workforce of dogs.

Jake makes an attempt to keep menacing mountain lions away from ranch land via coaching and the use of a number of Treeing Walker Coonhounds. Though he has grown the group through the years, a few of his dogs were staples on his squad, including Henry and Clutch.

In the Season 10 episode "Coyote Showdown", the Mountain Men narrator (D.B. Sweeney) unearths that both Clutch and Henry have died.

What came about to Clutch on 'Mountain Men?'

In the second one episode of Season 10, Jake is coaching his "youngest team in years," and he's added a brand new canine to the combination: a six-month-old named Trip, who earned his moniker because he came to Montana from New Mexico.

Trip joins Jake's different hounds, Lefty, Marlene, Trixie, and Viola "Vi," who are also getting ready for the following hunting season. However, two of his most attempted and true dogs are missing.

The Mountain Men narrator unearths that Jake just lately lost "two of his most trusted veterans," which is why he got Trip.

"Trip joined the pack following two sudden losses," D.B. Sweeney explains. "Ten-year-old Henry, who succumbed to cancer, and six-year-old Clutch, who suffered an accidental death."

Neither the narrator nor Jake would elaborate on what brought about Clutch's "accidental death," even though fanatics are more than intrigued to be told what exactly took place.

In November of 2020, ahead of his searching season, Jake unfolded about dropping Clutch for the first time on his Instagram feed. He shared a video of his overdue dogs.

"The crew," Jake wrote in the caption. "As I look forward to tomorrow's opening day of lion season I can't help but look back at the past.. This will be my first season without both Henry and Clutch man... So as I look forward to the tomorrow, I can't help but reflect on the past..."

"Clutch and Henry were two of the finest hounds a man could ask for! It was my honor to share the mountain with such driven hounds, I'll never forget the lessons we taught each other and I'll always use them to better the new members of the pack..." he added. "I thank you both and I'll carry the tradition on in memory of you!!"

Jake Herak opened up about the dying of his canine, Henry, on Instagram.

Though Jake has yet to publicly share what took place to Clutch, he did publish about Henry's passing when it took place in April of 2020. He shared the frightening news on his Instagram feed.

"Can't say I've hit this part of the process in becoming a houndsman and truly it's the only part of the process that I've found that I hate... it's not something I even care to share but fact is it's 'life.' Henry passed away a few days ago," he wrote on April 29, 2020. "I honestly didn't even want to share this, but Henry deserves a [farewell] and half of you follow me or watch us on TV because of theses hounds...."

Jake then mentioned how a lot his overdue dog meant to him.

"This dog taught me so much about what 'I' truly want in life and so much more... he was the first hound pup that I helped train," he endured. "I watched him grow as he watched me grow, so many firsts with this hound that will never be done again... From rags to riches, from a nobody to a somebody Henry helped me achieve all of that and I wouldn't trade our miles and adventures for anything..."

Since Jake wrote about how he did not want to publicly percentage the inside track of Henry's demise, it in all probability explains why he did not post about Clutch's untimely passing when it befell.

Mountain Men airs on Thursdays at Eight p.m. ET on the History Channel.
