Predator or Prey?

The long-standing tradition of the Fall Hunt begins on Kodiak Island where we meet Alaskan resident Hillarie Putnam as she takes on Kodiak for the first time with the help of her father and armed with a single shot muzzleloader. 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.

Guide Frank Sanders leads two of his closest friends on a hunt in honor of his best friend who recently died in an ATV accident. Armed with just bows and arrows the men battle the harsh Kodiak weather and find themselves in a standoff with a massive bear. Hillarie Putnam finds herself facing Kodiak alone. During her first night solo a bear circles her threatening her life. As time runs out on Sam and Dave's hunt, they decide to pursue a large bear in an area where there may be another hunter. Any direction they move could put them in the line of fire.
