With their usual hand, Lea, unavailable, Robert hires a young hand to help out the family, but Krystal and Jerry aren't sure the new kid has what it takes to make it as a hog hunter. At the Y5 Ranch, wild hogs are killing cattle and eating calves. The Campbells and their new hire take on the job, but when Krystal's threatened by a hog, Robert makes a split second decision that leaves his sister more angry than grateful.
After another new recruit fails to make the cut, the Campbells recognize Krystal is irreplaceable and take another job despite being shorthanded. But when their top dog, Ranger, turns up missing their hog hunt turns into a dog rescue and the prospect of losing his best dog has Jerry on the verge of calling it quits.
After only a few days into their new job, the Creek Boys have had about enough of Ronnie's obsession with taking down Jerry Campbell. It all comes to a head when he leads the guys on a wild chase into a barn because he thinks he saw "Hogzilla." Meanwhile, the reigning Hog Boss, Jerry Campbell, finds himself under attack when a fleeing sow runs into his Jeep--but the pigs aren't the only ones coming after Jerry. Krystal is at her wits end with her father's behavior. When he doesn't come to her because he's too busy bidding on an auction on his cellphone... it all blows up. The hog gets away from the girls and attacks Lea's horse. Finally fed up, Krystal quits the family business on the spot--taking Lea with her.
