Hodag Merch

The hodag is said to have short legs, big claws, and the back of a dinosaur. Also, sadly, it was a proven hoax.

In American folklore, the hodag is a fearsome critter resembling a large bull-horned carnivore with a row of thick curved spines down its back. The hodag was said to be born from the ashes of cremated oxen, as the incarnation of the accumulation of abuse the animals had suffered at the hands of their masters. The history of the hodag is strongly tied to the City of Rhinelander where it was claimed to have been discovered. The hodag has figured prominently in early Paul Bunyan stories.

Up North in Wisconsin. Home. This is where the brisk morning air begs you to go for a walk. Where the call of the loon begs you to come to the lake to go fishing. The scent of the pine trees tempt you to go for an afternoon hike in the woods. There's no place like Up North. Wisconsin.
