Plot

Judd is upset that Shiloh (his former hunting dog) now belongs to Marty. In the first film Marty did hard labor to get Shiloh from Judd. Judd starts drinking heavily and at the beginning of the film, almost runs Marty and Shiloh off the road with his truck. Marty encounters Judd several times in the film including one key moment when Judd thinks he heard Marty on his property, threatens him and holds his gun and shoots in the air. In the end Judd crashes his truck into the creek while driving drunk. Shiloh's loud barking gets Marty over to Judd. Judd is then taken to the hospital. Judd returns home later. Marty wants to be nice with Judd and makes donations (bread, meat). Marty then starts writing Judd letters (it is revealed Judd usually doesn't get letters), Judd takes to liking this and reads them. Marty takes Shiloh with him to visit Judd. In the end Judd makes friends with Marty after he reveals Shiloh is the one who saved him. Judd ends up petting Shiloh in the end and then offers them a potato chip.
