As a hunter and military man this was tough to watch. Its as if a tree hugger went out and made a hunting film. Let me just list the unbelievable happenings. I would not have been so disappointed except for the story build up. The people involved grew up hunting. The are all experienced woos people and yet they act like they are in the woods for the first time. 1. Deputy sees the bear, instead of using his hunting rifle he pulls out his pistol and starts shooting at long range. Of course he just hits trees. 2. 4 people and 2 rifles, 1 of which is a dart rifle. So they throw the dart rifle away because everyone knows 1 rifle is better than 2. 3. The scene i was looking forward to was billy bob meeting the bear, and everyone who watches these shows knows the bad hunter would lose. But they didn't even show the first meeting. All you heard was some shots and then you see his horse running away. Such a let down. 4. The group is down to 1 rifle and when the hero goes off to let the bear astray, of course in the first encounter he loses the rifle. 5. The sheriff knows there's a killer bear in the woods. So when he goes to meet the group he brings a shotgun and no extra rifles. Every beginning hunter knows you don't bring a shotgun hunting big game. And where are the big bore handguns experienced people carry in bear country. What we see are little semi autos being used at long range hitting a lot of branches. 6. So we see an experienced nature photographer out in the woods setting snares. So what happens when she sees a bear? She walks into the trap she just set. Really??? 7. The hero says he will take the first watch. There's a killer bear out here after all, but when he gets cold he crawls into a tent and neglects to tell anyone. Of course thats when the bear comes. The scenery was great and the acting was good but so unbelievable unless you have never been in the woods.
