Lanny lives at the edge of the woods where he used to spend nearly every day with his father: tracking, cutting trees, cleaning the trails and, of course, hunting. When his father grows old and is no longer able to go into the woods, Lanny wonders if he should give up hunting. His father insists that he continue the tradition and that he consider using some more modern tools, like a "trail camera" to track the activity of the woodland animals. Lanny tries it and discovers that there is a lot more happening in his woods than he had ever imagined!
