Hes afraid this amateur hunting party could turn into a mass funeral real fast. So he asks Smoke Jensen to help keep everyone calm and contain the panic. Unfortunately, its too late. The panic is out of control. And the hunt is on. . . .

While the gun-toting locals head for the hills in search of the bear, a ruthless gang of bank robbers ride into the half-empty townarmed to the teeth. Then a professional wild game hunter shows up offering to kill the grizzlyfor a price. If that wasnt enough, a traveling medicine man claims the bear is part of his actand wouldnt hurt a soul. Smoke Jensen isnt sure what to believe or who to trust. But one thing is certain: Where there are jaws, claws, and outlaws, there will be blood. . . .
