    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The scene where the falcon starts freaking out was caused by somebody upsetting it from behind. If you look closely, you can see the arm of one of the crew members behind it causing it to be upset. That probably was Dan Haggerty, who is also uncredited for the film, but who worked as the animal handler in it. He later went on to play the title role in The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams (1977).
    • Goofs
      Strangely, whenever Sam builds a campfire from wood there is no smoke. That would be impossible. They were probably using propane burners hidden in the ground of the campfire circle.
    • Quotes
      • Sam: The deer have pressed in all around me. They're hungry. They come into the hemlock grove to hide and sleep for the day. They manage the snow so well on their slender hooves. If I was to know that a million years from today, my children's children were to live as I am living in these mountains, I would marry me a wife with slender feet and begin immediately to breed a race with hooves. So that the mountain children of the future might run through the snows and meadows and mountains and marshes as easily as the deer. I must be pretty lonely to be having such daydreams. I guess I am.
