The Stag (S06E17)
Jack’s deer hunting plans take an unexpected turn when his girlfriend, Molly, shows up in Mt. Thomas with his cousin, Craig. While Jack and Craig were set to hit the woods, Molly’s surprise visit reveals the strain their long-distance relationship has endured since he left her in Swift’s Creek. As deer season kicks off, the Heelers brace for the chaos that often accompanies it, as a flood of hunters armed to the teeth descend upon the town. When two deer disappear from a nearby farm, the sophisticated owner claims he’s become an easy target for hunters seeking trophies, especially after losing a prized stag valued at $25,000. Though the evidence hints at a local farmer, the townsfolk instinctively blame wandering hunters. Dash, in particular, is irked by the rowdy bravado that seems to fill the Imperial after a day of deer hunting, as Jack prepares to confront the situation.
