I HUNTED THIS PLACE ONE TIME DURING GUN SEASON AND THIS WAS ALL STANDING CORN.

IT HAS BEEN CUT.

>> THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD...

DEER SEASON JUST CAME TO A CLOSE HERE IN KENTUCKY, AND WE ARE ALREADY LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE.

>> PERFECT WIND FOR TONIGHT FROM IT'S OUR LAST HUNT OF THE SEASON THAT WAS.

NEXT... >> HERE IS MY LURE.

HERE IS THE FISH.

>> WE ARE ON TAYLORSVILLE LAKE CATCHING CRAPPIE AFTER CRAPPIE.

THEN IT'S TIME TO START DAY DREAMING ABOUT AND PUTTING IN FOR A 2021 ELK HUNT.

SO WE ARE HEADED TO THE HILLS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY.

IT'S ALL NEXT ON KENTUCKY AFIELD.

(GUN SHOT) >> 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.

AND OUR FIRST OUTDOOR ADVENTURE IS A LATE SEASON ARCHERY HUNT, WHICH IS A PERFECT WAY TO TOP OFF THE FREEZER.

MODERN FIREARMS SEASON HERE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY HAS COME AND PASSED.

AND WOULDN'T YOU KNOW IT, WEATHER TURNS REALLY COLD.

WE EVEN GOT A LITTLE BIT OF SNOW.

GOT ME THINKING, I'VE GOT TO GET IN THE DEER STAND.

I GRABBED THE BOW AND I'M HERE TO HUNT A FARM IN SHELBY COUNTY I'VE HUNTED QUITE A BIT AND IT'S FULL OF DEER.

I HUNTED THIS PLACE ONE TIME DURING GUN SEASON AND IT WAS STANDING CORN.

IT HAS BEEN CUT AND THEY WERE COMBINING THE CORN.

IT WAS REALLY LATE THIS YEAR AND THEY CUT THE CORN AND GOT IT ALL OUT.

WE'LL GET IN THE STAND AND HOPEFULLY THESE DEER WILL COME OUT ACROSS THE FIELD WHERE THEY NORMALLY COME OUT AND MAKE THEIR WAY RIGHT TO US FOR A NICE 20-YARD SHOT.

FINGERS CROSSED.

SUPER EXCITED TO NOT BE WEARING HUNTER'S ORANGE AND GETTING IN THE DEER STAND WITH A BOW AND ARROW.

WE ARE UP IN OUR STAND.

THIS LOCATION I'VE HUNTED BEFORE.

90% OF THE TIME THE DEER COME RIGHT OUT HERE AND WORK THEIR WAY OUT HERE IN THE FIELD.

ONE OF THE QUESTIONS I GET QUITE OFTEN IS, HEY, WHAT IF YOU ARE ON A PIECE OF PROPERTY AND THE DEER COME FROM ALL DIRECTIONS, HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT A GOOD WIND IS?

I WANT THE WIND TO BLOW RIGHT WHERE I WALK FROM.

THE CHANCES ARE YOU DIDN'T WALK RIGHT BY A FEEDING OR BEDDED DEER, IT WOULDN'T LET YOU GET THAT CLOSE.

SO IN THIS SITUATION, I WANT THE WIND BLOWING FROM THE FIELD BACK TO WHERE MY TRUCK IS PARKED.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT.

THIS WIND IS BLOWING RIGHT BACK AND IF YOU LOOK, YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE WHERE MY TRUCK IS PARKED.

I WALKED IN RIGHT ON THIS EDGE, PERFECT WIND FOR TONIGHT ANYTHING IN THIS FIELD, WIND BLOWING THIS WAY, I SHOULD BE SET UP PERFECT.

DEER STRAIGHT ACROSS THE FIELD.

WALKING RIGHT TO US GET READY, HERE WE GO.

WELL, THERE WILL BE NO BLOOD TRACKING THIS ONE.

IT WENT DOWN RIGHT EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS HIT BUT I'M GOING TO GET THIS DEER WRAPPED UP, IN THE TRUCK, GET IT HOME AND PROCESSED AND HOPEFULLY, THIS IS GOING TO MAKE SOME PERFECT CORN FED SHELBY COUNTY VENISON FOR MY FAMILY AND MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE.

HERE TODAY WITH TOURNAMENT KAYAK ANGLER CHRISTINE FISHER.

HOW ARE YOU DOING?

>> DOING GOOD, CHAD.

>> ONE OF THE THINGS I AM MOST INTERESTED IN IS HOW PEOPLE CAN ORGANIZE ALL THEIR GEAR INTO A KAYAK AND BE SELF SUFFICIENT FOR THE DAY.

>> LET'S START WITH THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOL FOR AN ANGLER, YOUR ROD.

MY BOAT, HAS HORIZONTAL ROD STORAGE AND THAT KEEPS THE RODS OUT OF THE WAY.

YOU DON'T GET THEM CAUGHT IN ANYTHING.

>> IS THIS COMMON THAT MOST HAVE ROD STORAGE ON THE SIDES.

>> IT IS NOT.

THERE ARE ONLY A FEW FISHING 340D EL MODELS OUT THERE THAT HAVE THAT.

>> WHAT WOULD DO YOU IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE THOSE COMPARTMENTS?

>> A LOT OF KAYAKERS, WEIGH NEED A WAY TO TRANSPORT OUR GEAR AND THIS IS ESSENTIALLY A GLORIFIED MILK CRATE AS YOU CAN SEE.

A LOT OF KAYAKERS WILL MOUNT ROD HOLDERS ON THE BACK OF THEM WITH ZIP TIES.

MINE COME BUILT IN WITH A COUPLE OF ROD STORAGE HERE.

I LIKE HAVING THEM BEHIND ME SO ANY BOAT YOU HAVE, YOU CAN FIND SOMETHING THAT WORKS FOR YOU.

>> WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR TACK SNL.

>> A COUPLE DIFFERENT PLACES.

THIS IS MY TERMINAL TACKLE BACK HERE.

ALL MY HARD BAIT, SPRING BAIT, TERMINAL STUFF GOES HERE.

MY PLASTIC SITUATION I'M PRETTY LIGHT BUT UNDER THE SEAT, YOU SEE THERE IS A LOT OF CLEARANCE THERE.

ALL OF MY SOFT PLASTICS, LIKE TUBES, STICK BAITS, FINESSE BATES, BIG WORMS, DESIGNATED PLASTIC TUB FOR THAT AND CAN I FIT TWO OF THOSE, ONE HERE AND ONE HERE UNDER MY SEAT.

USUALLY WHEN I'M FISHING, I HAVE A GOOD IDEA WHAT PLASTICS I WILL BE USING MOST.

MOST KAYAKS HAVE A... >> A DAY BOX.

>> A SQUARE HATCH.

>> BATES I'M USING THE MOST OF IS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME.

THEY'RE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

>> WHERE DO YOU KEEP YOUR NET AND DO YOU NET IT LEFT HANDED?

HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT DOING THAT.

>> I REEL LEFT HANDED.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, MY NET ALWAYS SITS RIGHT HERE ON MY FRONT HATCH.

I KIND OF ALMOST SET IT UNDERNEATH MY RIGHT THERE.

THE ROD IS IN MY RIGHT HAND, I REEL WITH MY LEFT ON EVERYTHING.

I'M ABLE TO, ONCE I GET THE FISH IN THE BOAT, I'M ABLE TO REACH QUICKLY RIGHT HERE AND MOST OF MY FISH ARE LANDED ON THIS SIDE OF MY KAYAK.

>> THIS IS JUST GOING LIKE CRAZY AND IT'S GOING TO KEEP GROWING BECAUSE IT'S SO MUCH FUN.

IT'S EASY TO GET INTO AND IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY, YOU CAN FIND A PLACE TO BE ON THE WATER FISHING IN A KAYAK, PROBABLY WITHIN THREE OR FOUR MILES OF YOUR HOUSE.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

YEAH.

>> SOME REALLY GOOD CRAPPIE REPORTS ARE ALREADY STARTING TO COME IN.

LET'S CHECK OUT NEW TECHNOLOGY THAT CAN BE SUPER EXCITING.

>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, DIE HARD CRAPPIE FISHER METROPOLITAN, 20° WEATHER DOESN'T SCARE US.

TODAY WE ARE OUT HERE AT TAYLORSVILLE LAKE WITH CHRIS MANN.

HE HAS A NEW TECHNOLOGY CALLED THE LIVE SCOPE.

YOU'LL GET ADDICTED TO WATCHING THIS THING.

IT'S LITERALLY LIKE WATCHING YOURSELF ON A VIDEO GAME CATCH FISH.

IT'S CRAZY YOU WILL SEE THE QUARTER OUNCE HEAD, HEF HEAVIER WEIGHT TO GET US DOWN THERE QUICKER AND THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT WHEN WE ARE DOING THIS.

TODAY WE WILL BE USING CRAPPIE MAGNET SLAB BITES.

LOADED IN OUR LITTLE PINS AND HOPEFULLY BE READY TO GO.

THIS IS GOING TO CHANGE THE FACE OF FISHING AS WE KNOW IT.

THIS THING HAS GOT A VERY NARROW CONE, IT SHOOTS STRAIGHT UP THE FRONT AND IT'S-- THIS GAME IS ALL ABOUT BOAT CONTROL.

HERE IS MY LURE AND HERE'S THE FISH.

>> GOOD FISH, TOO, CHAD.

THERE YOU GO.

>> YOU GOT YOU A 10-INCHER THERE.

>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT IS?

>> WE MAY GET 10 OUT OF IT.

9 AND THREE QUARTERS.

>> BUT THE CRAZIEST THING IS YOU LITERALLY FOUND HIM, FOUND HIM IN A STRUCTURE WE COULDN'T SEE FROM THE SURFACE AND TARGETED THAT PARTICULAR FISH BY WATCHING YOUR BAIT GO RIGHT DOWN TO IT.

TARGETED THAT FISH AND CAUGHT THAT FISH.

THAT IS REALLY COOL.

>> THAT WAS COOL, MAN.

LOOK AT THAT.

SETTING RIGHT THERE.

CAST IT OUT AND MOVED THAT BAIT FOR ABOUT FOUR OR FIVE FEET AWAY AND CAUGHT THE ONE FISH WE WERE SITTING THERE WATCHING ON THE GUIDE.

>> TWO AND A HALF, TWO AND THREE QUARTERS.

THIS IS A KEEPER CRAPPIE, PRETTY CRAPPIE.

YOU CAN TELL THIS ONE MAY BE HAULING EGGS.

IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME OF YEAR THAT THEY START PRODUCING SOME EGGS, TURN IT LOOSE.

>> THE TOURNAMENT TRAIL YOU ARE FISHING RIGHT NOW, WHAT IS IT CALLED BEN?

>> WE FISH THE CRAPPIE USA TOURNAMENT TRAIL.

I STARTED OUT WATCHING KENTUCKY AFIELD WI WAS A FILED AND I-- WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND I KNOW THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WATCHING KENTUCKY AFIELD WILL NEVER FISH A TOURNAMENT.

THE THING I FEEL HAS HELPED ME THE MICROSOFT TO BECOME A BETTER FISHERMAN IS TOURNAMENT FISHING.

I FOUND EVERY TIME I HAD THAT FEELING IN A TOURNAMENT THAT THE FISH ARE NOT BITING, I WOULD GO TO THE WEIGH-IN AND SOMEBODY WOULD ALWAYS COME IN WITH A BIG MONSTER BAG OF FISH.

THERE ARE FISH TO BE CAUGHT JUST ABOUT ON ANY BODY OF WATER ON ANY GIVEN DAY.

YOU JUST HAVE TO LEARN WHAT MAKES THEM BITE.

>> YOU GOT YOU A GOOD ONE.

SORRY.

I STOLE-- I BELIEVE I STOLE YOUR FISH, CHAD.

[LAUGHTER] THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

THAT'S THE BEST FISH WE'VE HAD TODAY.

THAT'S A REALLY NICE FISH RIGHT THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT ONE THERE IS?

>> I WOULD SAY THAT FISH RIGHT THERE WOULD GO ABOUT 12 AND A QUARTER.

>> IT'S OVER 12 INCHES I BET.

THAT'S A GOOD ONE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, THIS ONE, WHEN I TELL MY WIFE I WILL BE HOME AT 5:00, THIS THING WILL GET ME IN TROUBLE BECAUSE YOU GOT TO BE HOME AT FIVE MEANS YOU GOT TO BE PUTTING THE BOAT ON THE TRAILER AT 4:00 AND ABOUT 4:00, YOU SEE THIS BIG MASSIVE FISHING FOR IT AND RIGHT ABOUT THE TIME YOU GIVE UP ON HIM OR CATCH THAT FISH, YOU LOOK OVER AND SEE ANOTHER BIG FISH, WELL, I GOT TO GO AFTER THAT AND THEN IT'S DARK.

LOOK AT THAT BIG ONE.

THAT'S A GOOD FISH RIGHT THERE, CHAD.

THAT'S A DANDY.

>> HE MIGHT STILL BE ON THERE.

CHECK THIS OUT.

TOO COOL FOR SCHOOL.

I'M THROWING LIKE TWO OR THREE POUND ICE LINE AND IT STRETCHES A LITTLE BIT AND SO I KEPT TIGHTENING THE DRAG DOWN A LITTLE BIT AND TIGHTENING MY DRAG DOWN.

I FINALLY TIGHTENED IT DOWN TOO MUCH.

>> YOU DID, TOO.

THAT'S WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY EXCITING.

YOU SIT RIGHT THERE AND WATCH THAT BAIT MOVE IN THERE CLOSE TO THAT FISH AND IT'S LIKE, OKAY, I'M ON IT.

IT'S READY.

I SAW THE FISH TURN AND BAM, SURE ENOUGH IT DID.

AND WITH THAT, 10-INCH CRAPPIE.

LIKE I SAY, WE'VE CAUGHT ENOUGH OF THESE TODAY TO KNOW WE CAN FILL OUR LIMIT UP AND USING THIS TECHNOLOGY, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STAY ON BITES ALL DAY.

>> SO CHRIS THE LAST TIME YOU AND I WERE OUT, IT WAS A COUPLE YEARS AGO.

WE WERE FISHING ON GREEN RIVER AND WE WERE JUST VERTICALLY JIGGING.

I THINK IT WAS THE SAME LURE.

AND WE CAUGHT TONS AND TONS OF CRAPPIE.

THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF NEW TECHNIQUES IN FISHING, OF COURSE THIS IS ONLY ABOUT A YEAR OLD.

TELL ME ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER TECHNIQUES THAT PEOPLE ON THE AMERICAN CRAPPIE TOUR ARE UTILIZING TO CATCH CRAPPIE.

>> EXTREMELY POPULAR TECHNIQUE IS THE SPIDER RIGGING OR SLOW VERTICAL TROLLING WHERE FOLKS ARE PUSHING BATES UP THE FRONT OF THE BOAT AND THEN A VERY UNDERLOOKED TECHNIQUE HAS BECOME LONG LINE TROLLING, WHERE YOU DRAG BATES THROUGH BAITS THROUGH THE WATER COLUMN, YOU ARE PULLING BAITS.

>> WHAT OTHER TECHNIQUES DO YOU SEE PEOPLE USING?

>> YOU KNOW, THAT DOCK SHOOTING IS ANOTHER ONE THAT'S OUT THERE.

WITH THIS TECHNIQUE, CHAD, YOU GRAB THE LURE BY THE HEAD OF THE LURE AND YOU LOAD THE ROD BACK LIKE THIS AND OF COURSE I'VE GOT THE LINE UNDER MY FINGER, AND THEN I'LL SHOOT THAT LURE.

YOU'VE TAUGHT ME A LOT TODAY ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TECHNIQUE.

AND THIS IS A LOT OF FUN.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> WATCHING FISH LITERALLY COME ON THE SCREEN AND TARGETING INDIVIDUAL FISH AND WATCHING THEM COME UP AND HIT YOUR LURE IS A REALLY UNIQUE APPROACH.

AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

YOU ARE ALWAYS FISHING FOR POTENTIAL KEEPERS.

YOU VERY SELDOM EVER FISH FOR FISH THAT IF YOU CATCH IT, IT WON'T BE A KEEPER.

PEOPLE WHO ARE AVID AND DIE HARD ARE SETTING THE TRENDS OF WHAT WE WILL HAVE IN THE FUTURE AND THE FUTURE IS HERE WHEN IT COMES TO THIS TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY.

>> IT CERTAINLY IS.

>> DO YOU HAVE YOUR SIGHTS SET ON AN ELK HUNT.

NOW IS THE TIME TO START PUTTING IN.

WE HEARD A BUGLE HERE ON THE WAY IN, BUT I'M NOT SEEING AS MUCH SIGN AS I'D LIKE TO SEE TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME HERE SCOUTING.

LET'S GO BACK TO THE TRUCK AND DRIVE TO ANOTHER AREA AND DO THE SAME THING.

WE'LL CHECK ABOUT FIVE OR SIX OF THESE THIS MORNING.

AFTER GLASSING SEVERAL MORE VALLEYS, WE SAW MORE AND MORE SIGN OF ELK BUT NO ACTUAL ELK.

THEN ON OUR WAY OFF THE PROPERTY, WE GET TO THE GATE AND LOOK BACK AND THERE STANDS TWO BULLS.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE BIGGEST BULL SLIPPED OUT BEFORE WE COULD GET HIM ON VIDEO.

ALL THE FUN STARTS TOMORROW.

>> WE'RE EXCITED AND WE ARE READY.

>> WE ARE LOOKING FOR A PLACE THAT WE KNOW THESE ELK ARE USING THESE AREAS AND GRADING IN THE BOWLS BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO QUICKLY GET INTO SEPTEMBER.

THERE THEY'VE GOT SHADE, COOL, AND THERE ARE ACORNS FALLING THIS TIME OF YEAR, TOO.

THIS IS THE AREA WE ARE LOOKING FOR CROSSING, THE PINCH POINT.

YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY COOL, YOU ARE GETTING TO DO THIS HUNT AND YOU BROUGHT YOUR SON ALONG, GETTING TO EXPERIENCE SOMETHING LIKE THIS.

UNTIL WE CAME DOWN HERE, YOU HAD NEVER SEEN AN ELK IN THE WILD.

>> NEVER SEEN ONE.

>> NEVER HEARD ONE BUGLE?

>> NO.

>> IT'S ALL GOING TO BE BRAND NEW.

THAT'S THE COOL THING ABOUT HAVING THE ELK IN KENTUCKY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO GO TO COLORADO.

WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO COME HERE AND YOU ARE LUCKY ENOUGH TO HUNT THEM.

A LOT OF PEOPLE COME HERE FOR ELK TOURS.

20 YEARS WE HAVE HAD ELK IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.

IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.

>> AND LOOK AT THE SUCCESS WE'VE HAD WITH THE HERD.

>> THINK ABOUT IT, WE WENT 100 AND SOMETHING YEARS WITHOUT ELK IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.

THEY'RE NATIVE.

AND TO BE ABLE TO COME OUT HERE AND SCOUT FOR THEM AND IN YOUR CASE HUNT FOR THEM, IT REALLY IS A TRUE SUCCESS STORY.

LET'S FIND US ANOTHER SPOT OR TWO LIKE THIS AND WE'LL PUT THIS ON THE HIT LIST.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

>> JUST A FEW HOURS BEFORE THE SEASON OPENER, WE DECIDED TO GO OUT AND GLASS A FEW MORE VALLEYS.

AND ZANE SPOTS A COUPLE OF ELK ACROSS THE VALLEY ABOUT 1500 YARDS AWAY.

>> THAT'S A NICE SPOT.

IT WON'T GIVE ME A READING.

THEY'RE TOO FAR.

>> DEFINITELY TWO ELK.

I LOVE THAT WE ARE NOT MISSING MESSING ANYTHING UP BUT THOSE ELK JUST POPPED OUT LIKE LITERALLY 20 OR 30 SECONDS BEFORE YOU SAW THEM.

SO THEY DIDN'T MOVE UNTIL PROBABLY 7:00.

YOU COULD HAVE SAT HERE ALL DAY AND YOU COULD HAVE GOT ONE WALK UP.

MOST ARE... NOW LET'S EASE OUT OF HERE AND GET READY FOR OUR BIG DAY TOMORROW.

>> WELL, IT'S HERE.

I'M EXCITED.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT, 20 MINUTES, 30 MINUTES WE'LL HAVE GOOD SHOOTING LIGHT.

COULD IT HAPPEN REAL FAST.

THIS COULD BE A THREE OR FOUR-DAY HUNT.

WE'LL MAKE IT WORK.

I'M FIRED UP.

THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE BEST AS FAR AS WEATHER CONDITIONS GO.

IT'S-- YOU CAN MOVE AROUND WITHOUT BEING REAL LOUD.

YET IT'S FAIRLY COOL.

THIS IS GREAT HUNTING WEATHER FOR KENTUCKY.

WE ARE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE IT.

>> LET'S MAKE A MOVE.

>> SO ON OPENING MORNING WE DECIDED TO CLIMB TO THE TOP OF THE HILL AND GET A VANTAGE POINT WHERE WE COULD SPLIT UP AND SEE TWO DIFFERENT VALLEYS.

IT WAS REALLY FOGGY AND FOG WAS ROLLING IN AND OUT, MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR A BULL TO SLIP BY.

BY 9:30 THE FOG HAD STARTED TO BURN OFF.

FROM OUR MORNING VANTAGE POINT WE WERE SEEING TONS OF SIGNS BUT NO BULLS BUT IT WAS ENOUGH TO KEEP US EXCITED FOR THIS AFTERNOON'S HUNT.

THAT AFTERNOON WE DECIDED TO TAKE A DIFFERENT APPROACH AND DROPPED ZANE OFF ON THE HILLSIDE AND FOUND OURSELVES A SEPARATE LOCATION WHERE BULLS HAD BEEN SPOTTED IN THE PREVIOUS WEEK AND WE SAT AND WAITED.

>> THESE ELK DON'T WANT TO MOVE.

THEY JUST HIDE IN THE AREAS AND THOSE BIG BOWLS AND THEY DON'T COME OUT.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT?

WE JUST NEED ONE TO SLIP UP.

IT WILL HAPPEN.

IT ONLY TAKES ONE.

WE'VE GOT THE INFORMATION ON THE OTHER AREAS.

WE ARE SEEING SIGNS.

WE'VE HAD SIGHTINGS OF FOUR BULLS ALONG THIS PIECE OF PROPERTY, JUST NOT WITH A RIFLE IN OUR HAND.

THEY'RE STILL HERE.

>> ON THE SECOND MORNING WE DECIDED TO GO RIGHT BACK WHERE WE HUNTED THE PREVIOUS MORNING.

WE POSITIONED OURSELVES WHERE WE COULD SEE MORE PROPERTY.

WE HEARD SOMETHING BIG MOVING BELOW US AND EVEN HEARD BUGLE.

THE FOG WAS TOO THICK FOR US TO MAKE A MOVE.

AS THE FOG BURNED OFF, WE NOTICED WE HAD COMPANY, A FEW OTHER HUNTERS HAD ALSO FOUND OUR HONEY HOLE.

AND BY LATE MORNING, IT HAD HEATED UP AND WE DECIDED TO CALL IT QUITS.

ON THE EVENING OF THE SECOND DAY OF OUR HUNT, ZANE HAD TO LEAVE US DUE TO SCHOOL RESPONSIBILITIES.

WE DECIDED THAT WE WOULD MAKE A MOVE BACK TO THE LOCATION THAT WE HAD SEEN THE TWO BULLS WHILE SCOUTING.

WE POSITIONED OURSELVES 0 YARDS FROM WHERE THE BULLS WERE AT AND WE HAD A VANTAGE POINT OF TWO OR THREE OTHER RIDGES.

THIS PLAN REALLY PAID OFF.

ABOUT AN HOUR AND A HALF BEFORE DARK, A BULL SHOWS UP RIGHT TO THE LEFT.

>> HE IS GOING TO COME OUT TO THIS OPENING.

GET READY.

RELOAD, RELOAD, RELOAD.

GET BACK OVER THERE.

(GUNSHOT) HE'S HURT.

GET READY.

GET READY.

GET READY.

HE'S GOING TO GIVE YOU-- GET READY.

(GUNSHOT) HE'S HIT GOOD.

GET READY.

IF HE GOES UP, WE CAN SEE HIM: HE IS HIT VERY HARD.

KEEP YOUR GUN UP AND READY.

I'M PRETTY SURE YOU JUST SCORED YOUR FIRST KENTUCKY ELK.

RIGHT THERE IT IS.

THERE IT IS.

IT LOOKS DOWN.

>> CONGRATULATIONS.

ALSO WE GOT AN ELK, A KENTUCKY ELK AT THAT.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH DISLSM THAT'S AWESOME.

WE GET UP ON THEM, WITH WHITE TAIL YOU GET GROUND SLINKAGE, LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT ANIMAL.

>> THEY'RE LARGE ANIMALS.

>> WAIT UNTIL WE START DRAGGING IT, IT GETS BIGGER.

AND IT'S A 5 X 5 THEY SAY NEVER PASS UP AN ANIMAL THAT YOU TAKE ON THE LAST DAY IF YOU HAVE NEVER ELK HUNTED BEFORE.

CONGRATULATIONS, I COULD NOT BE MORE EXCITED FOR YOU MAN.

>> I'M SO HAPPY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> YOU REALLY GOT YOURSELF A NICE ANIMAL.

AND HEY, THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD ON THE TABLE, TOO.

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> LET'S CHECK IN AND SEE WHO HAS BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEK'S ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.

HERE WE HAVE A NICE BUCK TAKEN BY CABE FROM BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY.

THIS WAS TAKEN DURING THE 2020 GUN SEASON.

NICE JOB.

HERE WE HAVE SIX-YEAR-OLD JOHN WITH HIS RABBIT HUNT ON WAYNE COUNTY.

CHECK OUT THIS IMPRESSIVE BUCK FROM BRECKENRIDGE COUNTY BY DENNIS JOHNSON.

THIS BUCK HAD 19 SCORABLE POINTS.

8-YEAR-OLD VINCE BARTH WITH HIS FIRST SQUIRREL TAKEN WITH A SINGLE SHOT 22.

FIVE-YEAR-OLD BRANDON GOT HIS VERY FIRST RABBIT.

NICE JOB.

DO YOU HAVE FOND MEMORIES OF PURSUING SMALL GAME AS A CHILD?

YOU STILL HAVE A FEW WEEKS TO EXPERIENCE RABBIT OR SQUIRREL HUNTING 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.
