Bull Hunter

High in the Rockies, two towering brothers wrestle a stubborn tree stump, their axes clanging against a massive taproot that refuses to yield. The thin air bites, the forest of spruce and lodgepole pines stretches to a bald summit, and their rough‑hewn shack creaks beneath relentless wind. Harry and Joe Campbell, built like the mountains themselves, labor in silence, their muscles straining against the stubborn wood while thoughts drift to the absent patriarch who sent them to clear the land.

A sudden rustle reveals Jessie, a freckled rider who rides the ridge like a gust, laughing at their effort and urging them to dig a bigger hole. Her easy smile and sharp tongue cut through the men’s gruff banter, hinting at a world beyond the endless grubbing—talk of an old man named Bull, a mysterious figure reputed to know the hidden veins of rock beneath the soil. As the sun glints off the mist, the trio’s camaraderie forms, promising more than just hard work in this remote wilderness.
