>> THERE HE GOES.

GET 'EM, GET 'EM.

>> THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD...

SO MANY PET DOGS WOULD LOVE TO HUNT BUT NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO.

WE ARE IN THE FIELD WITH A BEING WHO DOES.

>> IT'S BEAGLE.

>> IT'S ABOUT LISTENING TO THE DOG RUN, THE EXCITEMENT OF SEEING A RABBIT TAKE OFF.

>> NEXT...

PREDATORS BECOME MORE ACTIVE IN THE WINTER WHICH MEANS IT'S MORE LIKELY THEY'LL CAUSE PROBLEMS.

BUT IT'S ALSO A GREAT TIME TO HUNT.

THEN... ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO INTRODUCE A YOUTH TO THE OUTDOORS IS SQUIRREL HUNTING.

>> THERE IT IS!

>> I SEE IT!

>> WE ARE DOING JUST THAT.

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.

PET OWNERSHIP IS AT AN ALL TIME HIGH.

DOG'S BEST FRIEND MAY MAKE A GREAT HUNTING PARTNER.

CHASE, YOU AND I HAVE BEEN SPENDING A LOT OF TIME IN A DEER STAND BUT RABBIT SEASON IS IN AND YOU WERE TELLING ME YOU ARE EXCITED TO GO RABBIT HUNTING.

>> I'M ALWAYS LOOKING FORWARD TO RABBIT SEASON BUT ESPECIALLY THAT FIRST TIME OUT OF THE YEAR.

>> YOU HAVE GOT A DEELG HERE.

HUNTER IS ABOUT EIGHT YEARS OLD.

>> EIGHT, YEAH MOST PEOPLE WHO THINK ABOUT RABBIT HUNTING, THEY THINK ABOUT BEAGLES SPECIFICALLY TRAINED TO RUN RABBIT.

>> EVERY TIME WE GO OUT, WE HAVE DOGS THAT ARE BRED FOR THAT.

YOU KNOW, TRAINED FOR THAT.

THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE TRAINED FOR.

HUNTER IS A PET.

HE SLEPT IN THE BED WITH ME.

>> THIS IS A HOUSE DOG.

>> AS SPOILED AS THEY GET.

>> LIVES IN THE HOUSE BUT INSTINCTUAL IN BEAGLES TO HUNT.

>> THAT'S ALL HE WANTS DO.

>> HOW MANY PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT WATCH KENTUCKY AFIELD HAVE A DOG THAT IS A PET AND THEY'RE LIKE I KNOW THIS DOG WANTS TO HUNT BUT THEY JUST NEVER EXPOSES THAT DOG TO HUNTING.

>> THAT'S HOW I FIRST GOT INTO RABBIT HUNTING BECAUSE I NEVER DID A LOT OF RABBIT HUNTING BUT THEN I GOT HUNTER AND I WOULD BE OUT WALKING HIM AT THE PARK AND HE WOULD CHASE THE RABBIT.

HE LOVED IT SO MUCH, IT MADE ME WANT TO GO JUST TO TAKE HIM SO THAT'S HOW I GOT INTO RABBIT HUNTING WAS JUST TAKING HIM OUT DO WHAT HE LIKES TO DO.

>> I HAVE HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT RUNNING RABBITS, I'VE SEEN YOU KILLING RABBITS IN FRONT OF HUNTER.

BUT HUNTER WAS NOT SOUGHT OUT FOR HIS HUNT AGO BUILT.

THIS IS A RESCUE DOG.

>> HE WAS FIVE OR SIX WEEKS OLD.

I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT HE WAS.

HE WAS JUST THIS LITTLE DOG, ALL BLACK AND BROWN.

THOUGHT HE MIGHT HAVE DOBERMAN OR ROTTWEILER.

I HAD NO IDEA.

HE WAS SNIFFING AROUND.

HE STOPPED, HE WAS LIKE, STARTING DOING THAT NOISE.

WELL HE'S A BEAGLE.

THAT'S HOW I FOUND OUT WHAT HE WAS IN THE FIRST PLACE.

>> LET'S PUT HIM ON THE GROUND.

>> YOU WANT TO RABBIT HUNT?

FIND A RABBIT.

GET A RABBIT?

LET'S DO IT.

>> NOSE TO THE GROUND.

GOING THE WRONG WAY THOUGH.

HE IS GOING TO THE FIRST TALL GRASS HE SEES.

>> HE MAY NOT BE GOING THE WRONG WAY.

YOU NEVER KNOW.

THAT DOG MAY KNOW BETTER THAN US >> FIND 'EM.

THIS IS PROBABLY A LITTLE MORE OF A TEAM EFFORT THAN RABBIT HUNTING WITH A BUNCH OF TRAINED DOGS BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF LIKE US AND THE DOG WORKING TOGETHER.

I'M GOING TO BE KICKING BRUSH ALL DAY DOING MY BEST TO HELP HIM FIND A RABBIT.

>> I DON'T MIND GETTING IN THERE.

THAT'S HOW I LIKE TO HUNT THEM ANYWAY.

>> HE IS ONE NOSE WHERE IF YOU HAVE FOUR OR FIVE, THEY COULD PROBABLY HANDLE IT THEMSELVES.

>> OH YEAH.

>> YOU WILL SEE A LOT OF TIMES WHAT HE DOES IS HE WILL WORK THE EDGE OF THE FIELDS WITH HIS NOSE ON THE GROUND THEN IF HE GETS A SCENT, HE'LL JUMP IN THERE AND GET ON IT PRETTY HEAVY.

THERE ARE SOME GOOD LOOKING STUFF RIGHT UP HERE.

UH-HUH.

WHERE'S HE AT, BUD, LET'S FIND HIM.

I'M GOING TO STOMP AROUND TRYING TO HELP HIM OUT.

>> HE IS DEFINITELY ENTHUSIASTIC.

>> HE GETS IN THERE, DOESN'T HE?

>> HE WANTS TO HUNT.

THAT'S THE THING ABOUT HAVING A DOG THAT'S A PET, THEY'RE USED TO BEING REALLY CLOSE PROXIMITY TO YOU.

YOU LITERALLY LIVE IN THE HOUSE TOGETHER SO I WAS WONDERING HOW THIS DOG WOULD HUNT AWAY FROM US.

>> HE PROBABLY HUNTS CLOSER THAN MOST HUNTING DOGS WILL BUT IF HE GETS ON A RUN, HE WILL GO AS FAR AS HE NEEDS TO.

HUNTER SAID THERE ARE NO RABBITS RIGHT HERE CHAD.

>> I BELIEVE HIM.

>> THERE IS A LOT MORE GROUND TO WORK WITH AHEAD OF US.

GOOD BOY.

THERE'S A BUNNY HERE SOMEWHERE, BUD I LIKE THE SOUND OF THAT HUNTER SAYS THERE IS ONE HERE THERE'VE GOES.

GET 'EM, GET 'EM.

HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE!

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE!

SO CHAD SAID HE SAW THAT RABBIT CUT THROUGH REAL QUICK OVER THERE AND COULDN'T GET A SHOT AT IT.

HUNTER GOT CONFUSE IN THE BRUSH.

PET DOGS AREN'T GOING TO BE PERFECT.

CHAD CALLED HUNTER BACK OVER THERE TO PUT HIM ON THE TRACK.

HOPEFULLY WE CAN GET IT STRAIGHT NED OUT THAT WAS IT.

HE FOUND IT.

>> HE'S GOT IT NOW.

>> THERE HE IS.

(GUNSHOTS).

>> MAY BE A LITTLE OUT OF RANGE.

>> I SAW YOU SHOOT TWICE WITH THE 20.

I THOUGHT I'D TRY THE 12.

>> HUNTER, HUNTER, RIGHT HERE, GOOD BOY, RIGHT OVER HERE!

HUNTER, RIGHT HERE.

RIGHT HERE.

>> I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, WE JUMPED THAT RABBIT HERE IN THE THICKET AND IT RAN ACROSS.

A REALLY GOOD RACE.

HUNTER GO A GREAT JOB BUT HE LOST THE RABBIT RIGHT NEXT TO THE WALNUT TREE.

I SAW THE RABBIT BUT I COULDN'T GET A SHOT.

THEN HE STARTED BACKTRACKING AND CAME BACK AROUND AND THE SECOND LOOP, HE JUMPED THAT RABBIT AGAIN AND IT RAN OUT HERE.

BUT WHEN IT CAME OUT, IT WAS 75, 80-YARD OUT IN FRONT OF US.

HE HAD CHASED BOATS, TOOK THE LONG RANGE DESPERATION SHOTS WHICH HEY, WE COME OUT HERE TO SHOOT, IT'S ALL ABOUT HAVING FUN.

WE MISSED.

SEE ONE?

>> RIGHT HERE, HERE, HERE, HERE!

>> IF YOU GOT THIS, I'M GOING TO THE OTHER SIDE.

>> THAT SOUNDS GOOD.

IF HE COMES DOWN THIS WAY, I GOT A SHOT.

>> THERE HE GOES!

COMING AT YOU!

HERE, HERE, HERE!

(GUNSHOT) (GUNSHOTS) >> DID YOU GET IT?

>> GOT IT!

>> SWEET!

>> GOODBYE.

YOU GOT IT.

GOOD BOY.

YOU GOT THAT HUNTER.

GOOD BOY, HUNTER!

IS THAT YOUR BUNNY RIGHT THERE?

HE'S TRYING.

HE WANTS THAT.

NICE SHOT, CHASE.

CHASE, I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, FOR OUR FIRST DAY OUT, IT IS NICE TO GET OUT OF A DEER STAND AND GET OUT AND WORK THE DOGS.

>> HE HAD A GOOD TIME AND THAT WAS THE GOAL, TO GET OUT.

I FEEL LIKE I GOT A LOT OF EXERCISE.

I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE HIM.

>> THIS WAS ALL ABOUT JUST SHOWCASING A DOG THAT IS BRED TO HUNT BUT IS A HOUSE DOG.

AND JUST GETTING THE DOG OUT AND LETTING IT DO ITS NATURAL THING.

THAT DOG HAD AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

GOT A TON OF EXERCISE.

GOT ONE AND THOUGHTS AT ANOTHER.

>> WE WOULD HAVE GOT MORE RABBITS IF WE HAD MORE SHOOTERS OR MORE DOGS BUT YOU HAVE TO TEMPER YOUR EXEACTATION.

>> THIS WAS A SHOW ABOUT GETTING OUT AND DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT.

>> I'LL BE HONEST WITH YOU.

I TAKE HUNTER TO WMAs ALSO.

TO YELLOW BANK, TAILORSVILLE, SEVERAL PUBLIC LAND PLACES.

YOU DON'T DON'T NEED ACCESS TO A PIECE OF PROPERTY.

JUST A SHOTGUN AND A DWRG THAT LOVES TO HUNT.

IT'S ABOUT LISTENING TO THE DOG RUN, EXCITEMENT OF SEEING A RABBIT TAKE OFF.

>> I'M A DOG LOVER AND THAT'S WHY I DO IT.

AS A DOG LOVER, I WANT MY DOG TO HAVE THE BEST TIME POSSIBLE, BEST LIFE POSSIBLE AND THIS IS PART OF IT BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HE ENJOYS DOING MORE THAN ANYTHING.

>> THIS WILL KEEP THIS DOG IN SHAPE.

>> HE IS IN SHAPE FOR MOST EIGHT-YEAR-OLD HOUSE BEAGLES DON'T LOOK AS GOOD AS HUNTER.

HE IS A LITTLE CHUNKY RIGHT NOW BUT HE'S ALL RIGHT FOR BEING AN EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DOG.

HE DOES PRETTY GOOD.

I THINK HE HAS JUST ABOUT HAD IT.

HE HAS COVERED SEVEN OR EIGHT MILES IF I HAD TO GUESS.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD FOR HIM.

>> LET'S MAKE OUR WAY BACK TO THE TRUCK.

>> SOUNDS GOOD.

>> MODERN FIREARM SEASON MAY HAVE JUST ENDED IN KENTUCKY BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HAVE YOU TO PUT THE RIFLE AWAY FOR THE YEAR.

HUNTING PREDATORS CAN BE A LOT OF FUN.

>> WHAT I LIKE ABOUT COYOTE HUNTING IS, FOR ONE, EVERY HUNT IS DIFFERENT, EVERY HUNT IS A CHALLENGE.

HAVE YOU TO REALLY STUDY THE FARM THAT YOU ARE GOING TO AND FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU THINK THE COYOTES ARE AND WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO COME FROM AND WHERE YOU NEED TO SET ACCORDINGLY.

I LIKE TO TRY TO SET SOMEWHERE WITH A GOOD VANTAGE POINT.

YOU WANT TO ALWAYS BE AWARE OF YOUR WIND AND WHERE IT'S GOING AND A LOT OF TIMES A COYOTE WILL COME DOWNWIND OF YOU OR THE CALL AND SMELL WHAT HE IS HEARING BEFORE HE COMES TO THE CALL.

THEY SMELL FOR THEIR FOOD, SMELL ARE SOME DANGER.

THEY LIVE BY THEIR NOSE.

ANY INKLING OF SMELL FROM YOU, THEY'RE GONE.

IT'S OVER WITH.

TO ME, THE BETTER TIMES OF THE YEAR TO HUNT IS DECEMBER AND JANUARY, FEBRUARY, KIND OF THE COLDER MONTHS, BUT YOU CAN GET OUT AND KILL ONE IN THE SUMMERTIME, TOO.

COYOTE HUNTING IS LEGAL YEAR ROUND.

WE ARE AT A CATTLE FARM RIGHT NOW.

IN A COUPLE MONTHS THE COWS WILL CALF, COYOTES HAVE BEEN MOAN TO GET INTO THE CALVES AND COST THE FARMERS A LOT OF MONEY.

YOU CAN USE PRETTY MUCH ANY WEAPON YOU WANT IN COYOTE HUNTING.

I USE A THE 250, A SMALL QUICK BULLET, OUT TO 300, 400 YARDS IF YOU CAN SHOOT THAT FAR.

IF YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PELTS, YOU CAN USE A 7 MAG.

WHATEVER YOU WANT.

IF YOU HUNTING THICKER WOODS OR THICKER AREA, YOU MIGHT CONSIDER USING A SHOTGUN.

>> IT'S A COLD MORNING.

THIS IS A NEW FARM.

I GOT PERMISSION TO COYOTE HUNT MUCH THE FARMER HAS SOME COWS AND STUFF OUT HERE AND OF COURSE HE WANTS THE COYOTES GONE.

WE ARE GOING ON TO TRY TO SLIDE BACK HERE AND PULL A COUPLE OUT OF THE THICKET.

>> ON THE FENCE LINE SOMEWHERE.

THICK COVER AT THE VERY END OF IT.

OH MY GOSH.

LOOK AT COYOTES HOWLING RIGHT NOW.

WE HAVE TO HURRY AND SET UP.

TYPICALLY I PUT THE CALL ANYWHERE FROM 30 TO 50 YARDS AWAY FROM WHERE I SET, BUT TODAY WE WERE IN A RUSH TO GET SET UP SO I PUT PROBABLY 20 YARDS OUT AND I HAD A DECOY OUT.

THE DECOY TAKES THE FOCUS OFF OF YOU.

THE COYOTES ARE FOCUSED ON THE DECOY SO YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH A LOT MORE MOVEMENT.

I STARTED OUT WITH A LONE FEMALE HOWL.

I WAITED MAYBE TWO MINUTES AND WENT DIRECTLY INTO A RABBIT STRESS.

IT'S 18° OUT HERE AND IT'S IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WINTER SO A COYOTE CANNOT PASS UP AN EASY MEAL LIKE THAT.

>> IT WASN'T FIVE MINUTES INTO THE CALLING SEQUENCE WHEN WE SPOTTED A FEW COYOTES COMING OVER THE HILL TOWARDS UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES RIGHT OVER HERE.

WHOO!

(GUNSHOT).

>> I GOT ONE.

SEE IF WE CAN GET THE OTHER ONE TO COME BACK.

READY, RIGHT HERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THAT ONE.

GOT ONE DOWN.

THERE IS AT LEAST ONE MORE.

RIGHT HERE, RIGHT HERE.

AT THE VERY LEFT.

TO THE LEFT.

GUN WAS ON SAFETY.

RIGHT BEHIND US (GUNSHOT) (GUNSHOT).

>> THERE'S TWO DOWN.

MAN, THERE'S COYOTES EVERYWHERE.

THAT'S A THIRD ONE.

THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT COYOTE.

I HAPPENED TO LOOK AROUND AND HE WAS BACK THERE.

LET'S CHECK THESE OUT.

ANY TIME YOU CAN GO OUT AND KILL A COYOTE, IT'S AN AWESOME TIME, GREAT SET.

IF YOU CAN PULL OUT TWO ON THE SAME STAND, IT'S REALLY SOMETHING SPECIAL.

>> HERE IT IS.

LIKE A MALE.

HE'S DEFINITELY NOT THIS YEAR'S COYOTE, I WOULDN'T THINK.

>> WE CHECKED OUT THE FIRST COYOTE, A BIG MALE, I'M ASSUMING THE ONE THAT CAME IN WITH HIM WAS HIS FEMALE.

IT'S CLOSE TO FEBRUARY.

THEIR BREEDING SEASON IS UPON US.

A LOT OF TIMES THIS TIME OF YEAR THEY WILL BE PAIRED.

I WAS ABLE TO PUT HIM DOWN RIGHT HERE.

WE DO HAVE ANOTHER ONE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF US WHERE WE WERE SITTING SO LET'S CHECK IT OUT.

HERE'S THE SECOND COYOTE RIGHT HERE.

LET'S SEE WHAT WE GOT HERE.

THIS IS A FEMALE.

IF I HAD TO GUESS, I WOULD THINK THIS IS A YEARLING.

>> THE SECOND COYOTE WAS A YOUNG FEMALE COMING IN FOR AN EASY MEAL.

APPARENTLY SHE DIDN'T CARE ABOUT THE COMMOTION BECAUSE SHE WAS COMING IN WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD.

>> WE WOULD NEVER HAVE SEEN THIS COYOTE.

THIS WAS DIRECTLY BEHIND WHERE WE WERE SITTING.

I JUST HAPPENED TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER AND THERE SHE WAS.

I GOT LUCKY.

>> YOU KNOW COYOTE HUNTING IS FOR ANYBODY.

ANYBODY CAN DO IT.

YOU CAN DO IT ANYWHERE.

THERE ARE COYOTES EVERYWHERE SO IT'S A YEAR ROUND THING YOU CAN DO AND IT'S A GREAT PASTTIME BETWEEN DEER AND TURKEY SEASONS.

IT'S COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FROM DEER HUNTING OR TURKEY HUNTING.

YOU HAVE TO OUTSMA ARE THE A PREDATOR.

THEY'RE SUCH A SMART ANIMAL.

THE LAND OWNER SHOULD BE REALLY HAPPY AND I WILL DEFINITELY BE BACK TO THIS FARM.

IS YOUR HOUSEHOLD CONSIDERING A NEW PET THIS YOUR?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD CONSIDER A SQUIRREL DOG.

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO INTRODUCE THE KIDS TO THE OUTDOORS.

JUST HOLD ON TO HER LEAD THERE FOR A SECOND.

I'M OUT HERE TODAY WITH BRAD POWERS.

THIS IS A REUNION SHOW.

>> BEEN FOUR YEARS.

>> ONE OF THE FIRST SHOWS WE DID, THE FIRST SHOW WE DID WITH A SQUIRREL DOG IS WHEN YOU BROUGHT CADEN OUT ON THIS SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY FOUR YEARS AGO.

CADEN, I DON'T THINK HE HAD KILLED A SQUIRREL YET, HAD HE?

>> NO.

>> WE TRIED TO GET A SQUIRREL AND SINCE THEN YOU HAVE SHOT A BUNCH OF SQUIRREL, HAVEN'T YOU?

>> SURE HAVE.

>> I'M EXCITED TO GET OUT HERE TODAY.

YOU BROUGHT A DIFFERENT DOG.

>> THIS IS BELL.

I GOT HER FOR THE BOYS SO WE WOULD HAVE SOMETHING TO DO THROUGH THE WINTER TIME AND WE HAVE HAD A BALL WITH THIS LITTLE DOG.

WE REALLY HAVE.

>> YOU BROUGHT YOUR OTHER SON WITH YOU TODAY, CARSON, RIGHT?

>> THIS IS CARSON.

HE WAS-- WE LEFT HIM AT HOME LAST TIME.

HE WAS A LITTLE TOO YOUNG HEE.

WAS EITHER FIVE OR SIX WHEN WE CAME THE LAST TIME AND HE WAS NONE TOO HAPPY ABOUT THAT.

>> WHEN DID YOU KILL YOUR FIRST SQUIRREL?

>> THIS YEAR.

>> HOW MANY SQUIRREL HAVE YOU SHT THISSIER?

>> 12.

>> YOU'VE HAD A GOOD YEAR ALREADY.

12 SQUIRREL.

WE GOT A MILE THIS WAY.

LET'S CUT HER LOOSE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> SOUNDS GREAT.

I'LL TELL WHAT YOU.

TODAY IS GOING TO BE FUN.

WE ARE GOING HAVE A ROUGH TIME KEEPING UP WITH THESE YOUNG BOYS AND DOGS.

I HAVEN'T GOT MY GUN FULLY LOADED AND WE HAVE A READY TO SQUIRREL.

OH YEAH I SEE IT.

I GOT A FEELING THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT SQUIRREL IS SITTING IN THAT TREE WITHOUT IT BEING IN THAT NEST.

>> YOU BOYS GET READY.

>> KILL IT, CADEN.

(MULTIPLE GUNSHOTS).

>> HERE YOU GO, BELL.

BELL, I GOT IT GIRL.

HERE YOU GO, GIRL.

I GOT IT.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL!

GOOD GIRL.

>> LORD HAVE MERCY, THAT THING WENT SIX FEET OUT OF THE TREE.

>> YEP!

>> GOOD JOB!

GOOD JOB!

>> SO THESE DOGS INITIALLY, THE SQUIRREL COME OUT FOR THE MORNING FEED, THEY START FEEDING AROUND AND THEY LEAVE A SCENT TRAIL AND THESE DOGS WILL GO AND THEY'RE SMELLING AROUND THE TREE TRYING TO PICK UP THE SCENT TRAIL AND THEY'LL PUSH IT UP A TREE AND THAT'S WHEN THE BREED WILL WORK OFF THEIR EYES AND EARS AND THEN AS THEY GET OLDER, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THEY'RE AROUND THREE YEARS OLD, THING START USING THEIR NOSE SOME.

; THEY START WITH THEIR EARS MAINLY.

>> BARKING EVERY NOW AND THEN, PROBABLY THE FACT THAT SHE IS SMELLING ONE.

>> SMELLING ONE, WINDING IT MOST LIKELY.

SMELLING THAT IT IS UP THERE, YOU KNOW.

>> GET 'EM GIRL.

THERE IS A GREAT BIG MESS IN THIS TREE.

WE'LL LOOK TO THE BACK OF THE TREE, SEE IF I CAN TURN IT.

>> THERE IT IS.

I SEE IT!

>> GET IT!

>> THAT'S A FOX SQUIRREL.

>> I GOT IT.

(GUNSHOTS).

>> GOOD SHOT, BUDDY.

>> LET'S GO!

>> HE BE HE HAS BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THAT.

>> REALLY?

>> THAT'S KIND OF THE MYTH AND THE LEGEND FOR THOSE BOYS.

THEY'VE NEVER GOT TO EVEN-- I DON'T THINK WE'VE EVEN TREED A FOX SQUIRREL.

>> THAT'S A BIGGUN.

>> WE CAME OUT FOR AN ENTIRE DAY TRYING TO GET YOUR FIRST SQUIRREL.

WE DIDN'T GET IT ON CAMERA BUT WE GOT YOUR FIRST FOX SQUIRREL ON CAMERA.

>> WE DID.

>> GOOD JOB, BUD.

THAT'S A BIGGUN, NICE JOB.

>> THANKS.

>> YOU GON' HAVE THAT ONE MOUNTED, CADEN.

>> I LOVE WATCHING THE DOG.

WHEN SHE GETS REAL EXCITED AND HOPS UP ON HER BACK LEGS AND YOU JUST KNOW YOU ARE WALKING TO A SQUIRREL.

THAT'S PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PART.

>> I'M NOT POSITIVE BUT I THOUGHT I SEEN IT.

>> I SEE IT.

I SEE IT.

FOX SQUIRREL.

>> EVERYBODY READY!

>> LET'S GO BUDDY.

(GUNSHOT).

>> TAKE GOOD AIM AND DO IT AGAIN.

(GUNSHOT) >> (GUNSHOT) >> GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

AS SOON AS I PULL THE TRIGGER, HE WOULD LEAVE MID AIR AND BE ON THE NEXT LIMB.

>> THAT WAS ALMOST STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN FOR HIM.

THAT'S A HARD SHOT, BUDDY.

WE'LL GET THE NEXT ONE.

>> HE'S TORE UP.

>> PRETTY FOX SQUIRREL.

>> MAKE SURE YOU RELOAD AND GET READY.

>> I DID.

>> HE'S 187 YARDS.

>> RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE HILL.

>> YEAH.

>> CARSON, DO YOU SEE IT GOOD?

>> YEAH, I SEE IT.

>> GET YOUR GUN UP.

(GUNSHOT) >> HOLD ON.

IT'S HANGING.

HOLD ON.

THERE IT COMES.

>> WHO KILLED IT?

>> YOU GOT IT, BUDDY.

>> YES, FINALLY.

>> GOOD JOB, CAR.

>> THE DOG IS GOING TO BRING IT TO YOU.

>> BELL, CAN I SEE MY BIG SQUIRREL?

CAN I SEE 'EM?

>> HEY, HOW ABOUT THAT.

I'M SO EXCITED FOR YOU.

YOU ENDED UP NOT ONLY DID YOU KILL A SQUIRREL ON TV, YOU GOT TO KILL VERY VERY, VERY FIRST FOX SQUIRREL.

IS THAT YOUR BIGGEST SQUIRREL EVER?

>> FOR SURE.

>> FOR SURE.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, HEY, I'VE GOT A KID INTERESTED IN HUNTING, HOW SHOULD I GET THEM STARTED?

UNFORTUNATELY EVERYBODY WANTS TO START WITH DEER AND TURKEY.

BUT THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH A DOG, LOOK, WE GOT HUNTERS ORANGE ON, CAN WALK AROUND, BOTH THESE BOYS ARE GOING SHOOT TODAY.

>> RIGHT, YEAH.

>> IT'S NOT LIKE YOU GO OUT AND SIT FOR HOURS AND YOU MIGHT SEE SOMETHING.

>> IT'S VERY HARD ON KIDS JUST TO SIT STILL AND YOU WAIT A MINUTE ON SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

HERE, YOU ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING.

YOU KNOW, YOU GET TO MOVE SO THEY LEARN ABOUT HUNTING EVEN, YOU KNOW, HUNTING WITH A DOG.

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO DRO A KID BECAUSE IT'S ACTION FROM THE TIME YOU CUT HER LOOSE, YOU ARE MOVING.

IT'S AN ACTION.

>> I'M READY TO GET BACK TO THE TRUCK AND FINISH MY SAUSAGE AND HOT CAKES BECAUSE I'M HUNGRY.

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

HERE WE HAVE DAVID CHAPMAN WITH HIS FIRST BUCK.

IMPRESSIVE EIGHT POINTER TAKEN IN HARRISON COUNTY.

NICE JOB.

CHECK OUT THE HEIGHT ON THIS NICE 7-POINT BUCK SHOT IN HARDIN COUNTY BY CHARLIE GIBBS, TAKEN A DAY BEFORE HIS 70th BLIRTSDZ DAY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND NICE JOB.

CHECK OUT THIS BEAUTIFUL DEER TAKEN BY DRAKE REYNOLDS.

THIS IMPRESSIVE BUCK WAS TAKEN IN CALLED CALDWELL COUNTY.

NICE JOB.

NINE-YEAR-OLD KYE, HIS VERY FIRST DEER HUNTING TRIP AND WITHIN 10 MINUTES HE GOT A CHANCE AT THE NICE SIX POINTER.

NICE JOB.

MIKE AND TERRY CROW HAD A SUPER IMPRESSIVE DEER HUNT TAKING THESE IMPRESSIVE BUCKS JUST MINUTES APART.

WHAT A HUNT.

>> HERE AT KENTUCKY AFIELD, WE WOULD LIKE TO SEND OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO ALL OF THOSE AFFECTED BY THE RECENT TORNADOES HERE IN KENTUCKY.

AND WE HOPE TO SEE YOU IN THE WOODS OR ON THE WATER SOON.
