## Goofs

* Aidan drops three traps on the ground by Copper. Yet, when he sets them up, we see five traps. Furthermore, Tod springs about half a dozen traps, and there is one left for Aidan to accidentally step into.
* Aidan shows up at the wildlife preserve without traps. Yet, when he enters, he has traps thrown over his shoulder.
* We see Aidan walking with the traps over his shoulder. He's holding onto them with a leather strap. Yet, when he catches up to Copper, the strap is now a chain.
* The bear that attacks Aidan and Copper is supposed to be a black bear but it has the body type of a grizzly bear.
* It is extremely unlikely that Tod would survive falling down the waterfall. However, it is possible that the black bear landed first and provided a soft landing for Tod.
* During the sequence where Tod and Vixey are trapped in fire, Tod's lips don't move at one part where he says "Quick, Vixey! This is our only chance!"
* At the end of the episode, after Copper protects Tod from Aidan's gun, you see Copper walking away from the water's edge. One of his footprints appears before his foot is put on the ground.
* Early in the fight with the bear, Aidan Slade lets off a gunshot that grazes the bear's arm. Later in the fight, Copper bites the bear's snout, which leaves several bite marks. Both the gunshot wound and bite marks have disappeared by the time Tod joins the skirmish.
* There should've been blood on Aidan's hand when he tries getting the bear trap off of his foot, but there isn't.
* In the end when Kathryn Tweed is wrapping Aidan Slade's foot, the bandage is shown to be halfway up his foot. After she tweaks his toe, it shows the bandage to only be wound up to his ankle. However, she's not wrapping his foot; she's actually unwrapping it.
