The Silent Knife - S3-E13

Other mistake: You can see a plane taking off between the leaves of a tree and into the opening as it passes the tree, while Mark and Lucas are talking. (00:22:15)

Conflict - S5-E13

Other mistake: At the beginning of the episode, Lucas and Mark are riding their horses and discover a large footprint of a cougar. Near the end of the episode, Lucas is riding in a different area and sees another cougar footprint. The close-up of the footprint is the same one that was shown earlier. (00:01:00 - 00:21:00)

Requiem at Mission Springs - S5-E22

Other mistake: After Mark falls from a horse and is paralyzed, Doc Burrage recommends that Mark soak his legs in the Mission Springs mineral spring. Lucas, Mark and Lou drive a wagon to the site. At night they all complain about how cold it is and there is a steady sound of wind blowing but all the trees and bushes are motionless.

Closer Than a Brother - S3-E22

Revealing mistake: In the saloon, Micah announces he is resigning as sheriff. He sets two bottles of liquor on the bar and Lucas McCain immediately slaps them away. The bottles are obviously not real because they shatter into hundreds of pieces as soon as Lucas touches them.
