Meanwhile, veteran hunting guide Mike Horstman helps local cattle rancher Chris Flickenger track a bear that has killed one of his horses and is threatening his cows. Third generation hunting guide, Sam Rohrer and his hunter Dave have a nine-foot bear in their sights when they hear gunshots come out of nowhere–forcing them to take cover until this new adversary reveals himself.
