As winter looms heavy on the horizon, the residents of Port Protection scramble to finish the critical tasks that will carry them through the long, cold months ahead. It's also a time for the community to pull together and help those who need it the most. Curly Leach, one of the area's most respected fowl hunters, takes Mary Miller under his wing for a day of goose hunting that tests the limits of their hunting abilities-and Curly's patience. Sam Carlson goes on the hunt for a Sitka black-tailed deer with one of his oldest hunting partners, his son. Hans and Timbi Porter, anxious about the mounting cost of raising ducks, set out across the ocean to forage ingredients for homemade duck-food. Gary sets off alone into the distant wilderness in search of firewood.
