Mountain Men

Lauro begins the 1,000-mile Iditarod with his sixteen-dog team, pitted against harsh conditions and rugged terrain in one of the toughest races on earth. Bret and Ivy ascend into the Alaska Range on a high altitude grizzly bear hunt. Jake returns to the mountain after a dangerous encounter to continue his pursuit of a killer tom lion. Paul makes the final run of his trapline, and delivers a bounty of fur to a local trading post.

Lauro continues his quest to complete the Iditarod through the frozen interior of Alaska. Bret and Ivy pursue a bear into dangerously steep terrain. Daniel sets traps for wolves to protect the fragile deer population in the Southeast. Jake puts a marathon chase on a massive tomcat, ending in a showdown with the killer they've chased all winter. Paul grinds beaver carcasses to produce a valuable trapline bait.

Lauro confronts -40  weather, a broken sled, and exhausted dogs on the Iditarod Trail while running down the frozen Yukon River. Bret and Ivy make an impressive haul of beaver to finish their trapping season. Tom and Jack carve a traditional peace pipe from rare catlinite stone. Paul installs a 1,000-gallon water cistern at his off-grid cabin. Jake hits the jackpot while hunting for deer and elk antler sheds in eastern Montana.

Season Finale; Lauro nears the end of the Iditarod, crossing 260 miles of ice along the Bering Sea coast to reach the finish line in Nome; Marty and his friend Dave haul supplies for a cabin into the backcountry, risking disaster on an unstable frozen river; Tom and Will build an elk hide tipi; Jake and his dogs chase a black bear into a remote mountain cave; and Paul and Chance construct a bear-proof log cabin chicken coop.
