Way Out West

The Korels, the Bullocks, and the Yourens try to settle once and for all which family is the best at outfitting. But rather than challenge each other to real hunting and camping events, they come up with a crazy collection of challenges... including a madcap horse drawn chariot race! And when more clients than expected show up, the Korells have to take drastic measures to keep their guests happy.

For some women it's shoes and for others it's purses, but for Brenda Bullock, pigs are the biggest temptation. Can Brenda control herself at the local pig auction or will husband Travis have to face even more additions to her rapidly expanding collection of tiny squealers? Meanwhile, out in the wilderness, The Korrel brothers are forced to question their decision to team up with the unpredictable Yourens as an outfitting trip with paying clients?is in danger of getting out of hand.

The three families are forced to work together when an important trail is blocked by trees and debris. But which set of brothers has the best solution to the problem: the slow but steady Bullocks, the modern-minded Korells or the highly unpredictable Yourens? And back at the Youren Ranch, Kelsey faces her own challenge; taming one of Harry's wild horses.

The Korell, Bullock, and the Youren families travel to the annual Salmon Select Horse Sale in northern Idaho to compete in a day packed full of western-style events. There's riding, roping and mule racing for the adults and even a wolf-howling contest for the kids. The day of showmanship culminates in the big horse auction where Harry Youren tries to sell his feisty new stallion for big money.

Kelsey sets up her brother-in-law, Harry, on a blind date. But will Harry's awkwardness and his brothers' presence on the big night ruin everything? Meanwhile, the Korells and Bullocks herd and brand cattle in exchange for hunting rights on a ranch, but things go south when they discover a sick calf.

The wives take to the river for their annual "no men allowed" fishing trip, and with his wife not around there's nobody to stop Matt from embarking on his dream home improvement project... laying wood floors in the living room. But instead of calling in an expert, Matt's determined to cut, lay, and finish the floors himself with a little help from his brothers. What seems like a well thought out plan quickly unravels, and Matt discovers that he may have bitten off more than he can chew.

Chris Korell and his wife Randi face a difficult dilemma; their 17-year-old son Lafe, is determined to get the family brand singed onto his chest. Knowing he'll probably end up doing it at his first college party, will Randi and Chris abandon their parental concerns and supervise this extremely painful procedure themselves?

Idaho's Payette River winds its way through the lives of the Korells, the Bullocks, and the Yourens, just as it did their ancestors before them. They now meet once a year for the Payette Plunge, a two day white water rafting race to see who can do their family proud. The Korells have won the past two years, but this time the Yourens have a secret weapon: Kidd's wife, Kelsey. As a professional river guide, will Kelsey give them the edge they need to finally beat the Korells, or will the Bullocks come out of nowhere for their first win in history?

When a rogue wolf kills cattle and threatens local ranchers, the Korrell, Bullock and Youren men team up on a dangerous hunt. Will they agree on a strategy for taking down this deadly predator -- or will the lone wolf outsmart them all?

The Yourens help Kelsey navigate a wooden raft through the Payette River rapids. But will the raft be smashed to pieces along the way? And the Bullocks are stuck in the back country with anxious bachelorettes about to miss the wedding.

Things heat up when the Bullocks help build a wooden archway at Chris Korell's ranch. And the Yourens move a rancher's cattle in exchange for hunting rights, but Matt's offer to blow up a beaver dam leaves the deal up in the air.

The pressure is on when the Youren boys organize an old-school 'Friday Night Team Roping' but will their dad, Dusty, approve? Later, tempers flare at the competition when their sister stirs up some deep-seated sibling rivalry!

Chris and Cody Korell take a client on an elk hunt using a primitive weapon that's definitely hit or miss - and if the client doesn't bag an elk, they don't get paid! Meanwhile, Trent Bullock helps the Yourens bring down a silo that might be filled with explosive gases.
