>> I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

>> THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD... WE ARE HITTING THE WOODS WITH A NEW HUNTER WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A NEW PRODUCER FOR THE SHOW THERE'S ANOTHER DEER COMING OUT RIGHT NOW.

>> INCOMES... >> WATCHING A DOG LIKE THAT FEELS LIKE HE IS BEING LEFT OUT.

>> WE'LL HEAD TO WESTERN KENTUCKY AND LET THE BEAGLES RUN.

THEN.

>> HANDS ARE FROZEN SOLID.

>> WE ARE GOING TO TRY OUR LUCK AT CATCHING CRAPPIE THROUGH THE ICE.

IT'S ALL NEXT ON KENTUCKY AFIELD... >> THAT'S A PRETTY FISH.

>> BEAUTIFUL.

>> THIS POND IS PLUM FLOATED WITH FROGS.

>> THEY'RE EVERYWHERE IN HERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> THIS IS A GOOD FISH RIGHT HERE.

A REALLY GOOD FISH.

>> COME HERE, GIRL.

>> THAT'S A BIG RABBIT.

>> NICE JOB.

>> YES!

MY FIRST MUSKY.

>> LEO!

♪ WE GOT A KEEPER!

>> THERE GOES.

BOOM!

>> WOW, THAT HAPPENED FAST.

>> HELLO, WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD.

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

JOIN US AS WE JOURNEY THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.

AS A LIFE LONG DEER HUNTER, I GET MORE ENJOYMENT TAKING A NEW HUNTER OUT INTO THE WOODS THAN HARVESTING ONE MYSELF.

I'M HERE WITH KENTUCKY AFIELD'S NEWEST VIDEOGRAPHER CODY ROAD ROAD, HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

>> GOOD, YOURSELF.

>> GOOD.

YOU STARTED WITH IS A VIDEOGRAPHER WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE.

YOU HAVE PRODUCED SEGMENTS AND THEY WERE DEER HUNTS.

DEER HUNTING IS SOMETHING YOU HAVE BEEN AROUND BUT NEVER EXPERIENCED YOURSELF.

>> NO, I'M FROM SPENCER COUNTY, GRIE UP IN A GREAT HUNTER COMMUNITY BUT DEER HUNTING AND HUNTING IN GENERAL WAS NOT SOMETHING THAT WAS PASSED DOWN TO ME.

MY DAD WASN'T A HUNTER, MY DAD'S DAD WASN'T A HUNTER AND IT WASN'T UNTIL I JOINED THE MARINE CORPS BEFORE I GOT INTERESTED IN IT.

>> WHEN WE INTERVIEWED YOU, YOU WERE STILL IN THE MARINE CORPS, GETTING READY GETTING READY TO COME BACK TO THE UNITED STATES AND BEGIN YOUR CIVILIAN LIFE AND THEN YOU WERE IN A TREE STAND WORKING WITH KENTUCKY FISH AND WILDLIFE.

>> APPLIED IMMEDIATELY.

>> ALL RIGHT.

CODY, WHAT HAVE YOU THERE IS TODAY'S MODERN MUZZLE LOWDER.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD.

WE ARE GOING TO PUT TWO OF THOSE IN 1.

2.

>> ALL RIGHT.

NOW TAKE THAT AND THEN PUSH IT IN AS FAR AS YOU CAN HAND PUSH IT.

THERE YOU GO.

NOW TAKE YOUR RAM ROD AND PUSH THAT DOWN IN THERE.

SLIDE IT DOWN IN THERE AND TYPICALLY, WE GOT POWDER, POWDER, PROJECTILE.

RIGHT?

SEE WHEN IT BOUNCES LIKE THAT, THAT MEANS EVERYTHING IS FIRMLY SEEDED ALL THE WAY DOWN.

NOW ALL WE NEED TO DO IS CAP IT.

WE'LL DO THAT RIGHT WHEN WE ARE READY TO FIRE GO AHEAD AND SET IT DOWN HERE GET IT READY.

>> FIRE IN THE HOLE.

>> WELL, I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.

>> YOU HAD A BACKDRAFT THIS GUN IS SIGHTED IN ABOUT 100 YARDS WE ARE SHOOTING AT 50.

I WANT THIS ROUND AT THIS DISTANCE TO BE ABOUT AN INCH HIGH OR SO.

LET'S SEE IF ANY ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE.

YOU'RE AN OUTDOOR PERSON SHOTGUN BUT NO HUNTING.

WHEN YOU GOT THIS JOB YOU NEVER SPENT TIME IN A DEER STAND.

SOME OF THIS WAS NEW.

CAMERA YOU WERE FAMILIAR WITH.

>> FOR FIVE YEARS I WAS A COMBAT PHOTOGRAPHER, SO THE DURATION OF MY ENLISTMENT, I WAS TAKING PHOTO AND VIDEO OF MARINES DOING THEIR THING.

>> YOUR JOB WAS TO DOCUMENT.

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THAT'S WAS WE DO FOR KENTUCKY AFIELD, WE GO OUT AND DOCUMENT OUTDOOR OPPORTUNITIES.

ALMOST A PERFECT SHOT.

YOU ARE AN INCH HALF HIGH AT 50 YARDS.

PUTS THE BULLET RIGHT HERE AT 100 AND AT 150, YOU ARE GOING TO BE RIGHT ON IT.

PLENTY ACCURATE FOR KILLING A DEER.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, LET'S FIRE ONE MORE ROUND THROUGH IT, AND IF IT DOES ANYWHERE IN THIS AREA RIGHT HERE, WE ARE GOOD TO GO WEEK ONE YOU START WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND WILDLIFE, START AS A VIDEOGRAPHER FOR KENTUCKY AFIELD.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

>> WITHIN THE FIRST WEEK I WAS IN THE DEER STAND.

OBVIOUSLY SUPER EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

>> BECAUSE THIS WAS NOT A REGULAR DEER HUNT.

THIS WAS AN ARCHERY HUNT.

YOU HAVE TO GET SO MUCH CLOSER TO THE GAME.

NOT BEING A HUNTER, THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF LEARNING CURVE FOR YOU, RIGHT?

SCH ABSOLUTELY.

EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN DOING SINCE I STARTED AS A VIDEO PRODUCER HERE HAS BEEN A FIRST.

>> INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU WERE WITH ME WHEN I HARVESTED A BUCK WITH YEAR WITH A BOW AND ARROW.

>> I THOUGHT IT WAS THE MOST FASCINATING THING.

IT REALLY I IMMERSED ME IN A DIFFERENT SIDE OF THE OUTDOORS I NEVER EXPERIENCED BEFORE.

I STARTED GROWING A HUGE RESPECT FOR THE DIFFERENT HUNTERS OUT THERE AND THE CHALLENGES AND THE WORK THEY PUT INTO TO PUT MEAT IN THE FREEZER AND FOOD ON THE TABLE.

>> YOU PICKED IT UP WITH A DIFFERENT ASPECT FOLLOWING US AROUND WITH A CAMERA BUT STARTED ASKING QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO GET INVOLVED IN HUNTING.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

DO I NEED TO GET A TAG, WHAT LICENSE DO I NEED?

AND YOU COMPLETED YOUR HUNTER SAFETY COURSE.

>> I RECEIVED MY HUNTER'S EDUCATION HALFWAY THROUGH MODERN GUN SEASON.

YOU HAD BOUGHT YOUR DEER TAGS, HUNTING LICENSE AND RAY COUPLE DAYS LEFT.

YOU WERE ABLE TO HUNT A DAY BUT DIDN'T COME TOGETHER FOR YOU, RIGHT?

>> UNFORTUNATELY BUT I WAS REMINDING YOU, DON'T BE DISCOURAGED BECAUSE A COUPLE WEEKS FROM NOW, MUZZLE LOWDER SEASON.

LATE MUZZLE LOWDER SEASON IS AFTER FIREARM SEASON.

YOU HAVE ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

WE ARE GOING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN >> I DON'T HAVE A MUZZLE LOWDER, WE TOOK IT TO THE RANGE, SIGHT IT IN AND GET YOU OUT THERE ON YOUR FIRST SUCCESSFUL DEER HUNT.

WE HAVE A DOUGH RIGHT THROUGH THE WEEDS.

THAT DEER IS PROBABLY A LITTLE OUT OF RANGE LOOK LOOKING AT 50 YORDZ YARDS.

IT WILL BE MORE THAN WILL PROBABLY COME OUT OR MAKE ITS WAY TO US.

ANOTHER DEER COMING OUT RIGHT NOW IN THE WOODS.

>> I SEE IT.

>> THESE DOES RIGHT HERE WE ARE TRYING TO LET THEM GET COMFORTABLE.

THEY'RE JUST A LITTLE BIT OUT OF RANGE.

WALKING BACK TOWARDS THE WOODS.

>> EVERYTHING WE'VE SEEN HAS BEEN EITHER IN THE WOODS OR OFF THE EDGE.

SO I THINK THIS IS GOING TO BE A BETTER SPOT TO CATCH THEM COMING THROUGH.

>> I LIKE IT A LOT BETTER THAN THE PREVIOUS SETUP WE WERE AT A FEW DAYS AGO.

>> I SEE IT.

TAKING THE SHOT.

(GUNSHOT) I SEE IT.

>> YOU WERE SHOOTING AT A DIFFERENT DEER.

I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THE BIGGER BUCK.

I'M LOOKING AT THIS DEER 25, THERT YARDS IN FRONT OF US AND WHEN YOU PULLED THE TRIGGER I DIDN'T WANT TO TELL YOU BUT I THOUGHT YOU MISSED.

AND LO AND BEHOLD, YOU WERE SHOOTING AT A DIFFERENT DEER SO I HAVE TO ASK YOU, HOW DID THE SHOT FEEL?

>> IT FELT PERFECT.

>> RIGHT THERE.

>> THERE IT IS THE FIRST HUNT WAS FOUR DAYS LONG.

WE DIDN'T REALLY SEE THAT MUCH ACTION UNTIL 45 MINUTES AGO AND I WAS ABLE TO GET MY FIRST DEER AND LUCKY ENOUGH IT WAS A NICE BUCK WITH A MUZZLE LOWDER.

YOU KILLED YOUR FIRST DEER WITH A MUZZLE LOWDER HARDER THAN A RIFLE.

A COUPLE OF YEARS FROM NOW YOU'LL PROBABLY PROGRESS INTO BOW HUNTING OR CROSS BOW HUNTING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE IN THE FIELD MORE DAYS A YEAR AND WANT MORE OF A CHALLENGE BUT YOU STARTED OFF WITH A BANG.

HUNTING AND KILLING A BUCK LIKE THIS WITH A MUZZLE LOWDER IN THE LATE SEASON, NICE JOB.

>> THANK YOU.

>> KENTUCKY IS HOME TO 3 DIFFERENT SPECIES OF RABBITS.

IF YOU HEAD TO THE WESTERN PART OF THE STATE YOU COULD TAKE TWO DIFFERENT SPECIES ON THE SAME HUNT.

COTTON TAIL AND SWAMP RABBITS.

>> SHE'S FOUR.

>> MARY ANN IS GRACIE'S DAUGHTER, DOT IS MARY ANN'S DAUGHTER.

>> READY, HUH.

>> SHE DON'T LOOK IT.

>> SHE IS GOING TO BE READY.

>> LOOK READY TO CUT THEM LOOSE.

SAY A QUICK PRAYER TO GET IT STARTED.

HEAVENLY FATHER WE THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY.

WE THANK YOU FOR GETTING EVERYBODY HERE SAFE.

WE THANK YOU FOR BEING ABLE TO GET OUT HERE AND ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS.

THANK YOU FOR FOR THE CAMARADERIE, KEEP US SAFE AND OUR HOUNDS SAFE NCHT IN JESUS NAME, AMEN.

>> LET'S GET ER DONE.

>> WATCHING A DOG LIKE THAT FEELING LIKE HE IS BEING LEFT OUT.

PRPB GUNSHOT) LOOKS LIKE WE JUMPED OUR FIRST RABBIT AND GOT OUR FIRST RABBIT DOWN.

>> MAN, I BELIEVE THAT IS A SWAMP RABBIT.

>> WE SAW WE WERE FAR ENOUGH WEST.

>> COME HERE GIRLS!

>> IT'S A REALLY GOOD SIZED RABBIT.

LOOK AT THAT!

>> COME HERE, GIRLS.

>> NICE JOB.

>> THANK YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

SO THIS LITTLE MAN SAID HE WANTED TO BECOME A COMPETITION CHAMPION RABBIT HAULER.

GOING TO GET STARTED WITH A SWAMP RABBIT RIGHT OFF THE BAT.

HOW ABOUT THAT?

>> ALL RIGHT.

HOW DOES THAT FEEL?

>> FEELS LIKE SUCCESS RIGHT THERE, DOESN'T IT DOG SAID HEY, I'M MOVING ON.

THERE ARE MORE RABBITS THAN THAT, FELLAS.

>> DON'T GET DOWN THAT RABBIT DRAG YOU DOWN?

>> HE WAS HIGH STEPPING JUST FOR A SECOND.

(MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS).

>> I DON'T THINK WE GOT IT.

>> BACK OUT ON THE RANGE.

STAY THAT WAY BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T GET IT.

THERE YOU GO.

>> NICE SHOT!

>> RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE, HERE IT, GIRLS.

YEAH, PICK ITER UP THERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS.

GOOD GIRLS.

>> A HECK OF A CHASE.

DID YOU SEE IT WHEN IT CAME OUT?

IT WAS CRAWLING.

IT WAS HIT A LITTLE BIT I SAW IT.

WHEN YOU SAID RIGHT HERE, I WAS LOOKING THIS WAY TRYING TO SPREAD OUT AND I SAW IT COME THROUGH.

YOU PUT A GOOD SHOT ON IT.

>> WHERE WAS HE AT?

HOO.

>> HE COME OUT OF THERE LIKE A ROCKET.

>> ONLY TOUCHED THE GROUND ONCE BETWEEN HERE AND THE THICKET.

>> GET 'EM GIRLS.

LET'S GET ONE MORE.

>> I'M TELLING YOU MAN, JUST LIKE RED ROVER, THEY KNOW WHERE THE WEAK LINK IS.

THEY'RE GOING TO RUN RIGHT BY DARREN ALL DAY.

>> I HEAR YOU!

>> GOT ONE DOWN.

EVERY RABBIT THAT HAS BEEN KILLED HAS BEEN BIG RABBITS.

DID YOU SEE THAT THING.

THAT MIGHT NEED TO BE TAGGED AND TELECHECKED.

>> YOU DONE TALKED THIS BOY INTO WORKING.

>> WHAT'S YOUR LIMIT?

>> THEY SAID THREE WAS THE LIMIT.

>> NEW RABBIT.

>> SHE JUST JUMPED THAT RABBIT.

>> IS THAT A RABBIT RIGHT THERE.

>> I THINK IT'S THE DOG... >> ARE YOU SURE?

>> DEAD.

>> DID YOU HEAR THAT VOICE CHANGE?

SHE JUST JUMPED THAT ONE.

>> OH MY GOSH.

>> THAT'S A GOOD ONE THERE THAT'S A DANG ROO.

>> YOU-- THAT'S A KANGAROO.

YOU EVER SEEN SUCH A RABBIT.

SLIPPING RIGHT DOWN THE EDGE OF THIS DITCH RIGHT HERE ON THE TOP SIDE OF IT.

HAD TO SHOOT THROUGH SOME PRETTY THICK BRIAR.

>> RIGHT THERE WATCH 'EM TURN BACK AROUND.

>> WHAT THE HECK HAPPENED?

>> YOU GUYS WENT THE WRONG WAY.

>> RIGHT HERE, HEY, HEY, HEY!

COME HERE MARY ANN.

THERE IT IS.

GOOD GIRL.

COME HERE, GRACIE!

RABBIT CONDITIONALLING AT US.

>> DID YOU SEE THAT?

HAVE A LITTLE TROUBLE, DID SHE IS THIS.

>> DID YOU GET IT.

>> I THINK SO.

THAT'S A BIG ONE.

>> THAT'S THE AREA I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE SWAMP RABBITS.

>> IT'S CRAZY, TOO, BECAUSE THE DOGS AIN'T BEEN ABLE TO RUN THEM.

THE RABBITS ARE LITERALLY CRAWLING AND THEN DOGS COME UP ON THEM AND THEY'LL TAKE OFF A LITTLE BIT.

>> AND MAN THEY HELD TIGHT.

>> WE TALKED THE OTHER DAY I LOVE TO FISH.

I'D RATHER FISH THAN EAT.

>> DID YOU GET IT?

>> RIGHT HERE HE IS.

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE.

RIGHT HERE, LOOKY THERE, THAT'S HIM, THAT'S HIM!

THERE HE IS, DOTTIE.

THERE HE IS.

I LOVE WATCHING THESE DOGS.

WHEN THEY GET EXCITED AND CARRYING ON, IT GETS ME EXCITED.

>> I ENJOY IT.

I COULD DO ALL DAY EVERY DAY REALLY.

>> WE GET SIX BUNNIES.

DO WE HAVE ANY COTTON TAILS.

>> I THINK THE ONE I SHOT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A COTTON TAIL.

THE REST OF THEM MAY BE SWAMPERS.

>> COME ON NOW.

SHARE,.

>> COMPARED TO THE SIZE OF THE RABBIT TO THE DOG THERE.

>> IF I GOT A LIMIT WOULD I HAVE TO HAD BRING A WHEEL WHEEL BARROW.

>> LET'S GET SOME SUMMER SAUSAGE.

ALWAYS THE BEST WAY TO END A GOOD RABBIT HUNT.

>> NO COMPLAINTS.

>> LET'S GO DO THAT.

HERE IN KENTUCKY WE SELDOM GET ENOUGH ICE THAT YOU CAN ICE FISH BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS, IT'S AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU MAY WANT TO GIVE A TRY.

WE'VE ALREADY GOT THE REQUIRED FOUR INCHES AND IT LOOKS LIKE WE STILL HAVE TWO OR THREE INCHES TO GO I THINK WE CAN GO AHEAD AND GET YOUR NEPHEWS OVER AND WE CAN GO AHEAD AND START DIGGING SOME HOLES AND PLAN ON DOING SOME FISHING.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

LET'S DO IT.

>> WE DON'T GET THIS OPPORTUNITY IN KENTUCKY TOO OFTEN, WE BETTER TAKE ADVANTAGE.

>> MIGHT BE OUR ONLY CHANCE.

LET'S GO.

THERE WE GO.

THERE'S ONE.

HEY, WE'RE GETTING BETTER AT THIS I DON'T THINK I'VE EVER BEEN ON ICE THIS CLEAN AND SLICK.

>> I'M A ROOKIE, BUT THE RESEARCH I'VE DONE, THE MAIN THING TO BE AWARE OF, UNDER WATER SPRING, YOU WANT TO VOID THAT BECAUSE THE WATER WILL BE WARMER.

>> BECAUSE ONE PART OF THE POND IS FROZEN THICK DOESN'T MEAN IT ALL IS.

WE HAVE TO WATCH FOR A WARM SPOT, MOVING WATER OR A SPRING.

>> ZERO TEMPERATURES AT NIGHT AND 5° AT NIGHT.

IT TAKES A LOT OF STEADY COLD WEATHER TO FREEZE THAT THICK.

FOUR INCHES IS DARN NEAR LIKE CONCRETE.

THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY, FOUR TO FIVE INCHES IS THE MINIMUM.

>> AND WE GOT ABOUT FIVE, FIVE AND A HALF INCHES.

THINK ABOUT HOW MANY COLD DAYS WE'VE HAD.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU WANT TO TRY ON A COUPLE OF COLD DAYS.

>> THERE WE GO.

HE'S OVER ON THE HOLE AT THE END OF THE TREE.

>> PRETTY GOOD CRAPPIE.

MY FIRST FISH THROUGH THE ICE.

A LITTLE CRAPPIE JIG OVER THERE ON THE BRUSH, HOPEFULLY ONE OF MANY.

>> GOT 'EM.

THAT'S A GOOD CRAPPIE.

>> AWESOME.

>> HERE WE GO LOOK AT THAT CRAPPIE.

THAT'S A GOOD CRAPPIE RIGHT THERE TAKE THOSE ALL DAY LONG THERE YOU GO.

GET MINE OUT REAL QUICK.

LOOKY THERE.

LOOK AT THAT BIG OL' NICE CRAPPIE THERE WE GO.

THERE WE GO.

LOOK HOW NICE THESE CRAPPIE ARE.

>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, CRAPPIE OUT OF THIS COLD WATER IS PRETTY FREAKING GOOD HERE WE GO.

NICE.

GOT ANOTHER ONE.

THAT'S FIVE NICE OUT OF THIS HOLE.

>> IN PROBABLY 10 OR 15 MINUTES.

>> UNFORTUNATELY WE DON'T GET MANY OPPORTUNITIES IN KENTUCKY TO DO THIS BUT YOU CAN COME OUT HERE AND DO THIS OR YOU CAN SIT ON THE COUCH.

>> EXACTLY.

>> I WOULD RATHER BE OUT HERE DOING THIS.

WHEN IT COMES TO PAN FARE, IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS.

>> LET ME CATCH THIS ONE REAL QUIBBLING.

>> THAT'S A GOOD CRAPPIE.

YOU CAN SEE THE COLOR IS REALLY GOOD.

THEY'RE NICE AND THICK FISH.

REAL HEALTHY.

SO WE GOT NICE HEALTHY POPULATION OF CRAPPIE IN THIS LAKE.

>> WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?

I CAN SEE HIM UNDER THE ICE.

LOOK AT THAT CRAPPIE.

IS THAT YOUR FIRST ICE CRAPPIE EVER?

>> MY FIRST FISH ON THE ICE.

>> THAT'S AWESOME!

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

YOU DIDN'T MESS AROUND.

YOU WENT BIG.

>> HANDS ARE FROZEN SOLID.

>> IS THAT YOUR DAD YOU WERE TALKING TO?

>> YEAH.

>> THERE YOU GO.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

>> HEY, TWO CAN PLAY THIS GAME.

>> FOWL HOOK.

>> THAT'S A LUCKY CATCH RIGHT THERE BECAUSE THAT FISH MISSED THAT THING.

>> SNAGGED HIM.

12EU8 COUNTS.

>> I WENT TO SET THE HOOK AND IT MISSED HIM AND GOT HIM RIGHT THERE.

>> I'LL TELL YOU, THIS IS MY FIRST TIME ICE FISHING AND MY ABSOLUTELY ALL TIME FAVORITE STYLE OF FISHING IS WINTER TIME FISHING FOR BASS.

PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, WHEN IS IT TOO COLD TO GO FISHING?

I ALWAYS A WHEN THE WATER GETS HARD.

APPARENTLY THAT'S NOT TOO COLD EITHER BECAUSE IF YOU CAN GET A HOLE IN THE ICE AND CATCH CRAPPIE LIKE THIS, I IT DOESN'T GET TOO COLD.

THIS IS A LOT OF FUN.

>> DANIEL AND I DUG THE FIRST FIVE.

>> YEAH, THEY'RE DEEP.

THIS IS THE FIRST ICE FISHING TRIP.

WE GOT TO BREAK 'EM IN RIGHT.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY.

TAKE A KID FISHING.

THANKS, GUYED YOU GUYS NEED HELP.

>> MY DAD MADE IT.

>> THERE HE IS.

>> COME ON OUT HERE SON THIS IS THE FIRST BLACK CRAPPIE WE CAUGHT.

A FEW IN HERE JUST LIKE THE REST, 10 TO 12-INCH CRAPPIE, THICK, HEALTHY, A LOT OF MEAT ON THEM THAT'S A BIG ONE.

EVERYBODY GOT KUN NOW.

>> I CAN ALSO SAY I'M NOT COLD AND IT'S REALLY, REALLY COLD TODAY.

WHAT IS IT 15°?

>> AND WE'VE CAUGHT FISH YOU GOT THREE GENERATIONS OUT HERE TODAY.

>> YEAH, I GOT MY SON AND TWO OF MY GRANDSONS AND EVERYBODY HAS CAUGHT FISH.

>> SOMETIMES IN THE SUMMER YOU CAN'T GET EVERYBODY TO CATCH FISH.

>> THAT'S TRUE.

HARD TO GET EVERYBODY TOGETHER.

>> IT REALLY IS.

THIS TIME OF YEAR, WHAT ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO DO.

>> EVERYBODY IS HOME WATCHING PEOPLE CATCH FISH SO WE WENT OUT TO CATCH FISH.

>> THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT RIGHT THERE.

>> EITHER I JUST HAD A BITE OR MY MINNOW IS SHIVERING I FELT IT MOVE A LITTLE BIT.

>> OUR FIRST BASS OF THE DAY.

>> NICE JOB.

YOU GOT A 12-INCH BASS THERE?

THEY GOT TO EAT TOO, DON'T THEY.

>> I'M SURPRISED WE HAVEN'T CAUGHT SEVERAL MORE LET'S CHECK IN AND SEE WHO ELSE HAVING HAVE BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEK'S ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.

HE HEADS TO CAVE RUN AND GOES FISHING.

HERE WE HAVE 14-YEAR-OLD JANICE SEYMOUR WITH HER FIRST DEER, THIS BUCK WAS TAKEN IN OWEN COUNTY DURING THE DEER SEASON.

CONGRATULATIONS.

NICE JOB CHECK OUT THIS BLUEGILL.

>> ARE YOU OR SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW INTERESTED IN HUNTING IN 2022.

WELL, THIS IS A PERFECT TIME TO GO ONLINE AND TAKE YOUR HUNTER SAFETY COURSE.

JUST GO TO FW.KY.GOV AND SEARCH FOR HUNTER EDUCATION.

AND REMEMBER HUNTING AND FISHING ON PRIVATE PROPERTY IS A PRIVILEGE.

ALWAYS ASK PERMISSION AND THANK THE LAND OWNER.

UNTIL NEXT WEEK, I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES AND I HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE WOODS OR ON THE WATER.
