RIFLE, IT WILL RIDE.

>> THIS WEEK ON KENTUCKY AFIELD... DOG MAY BE MAN'S BEST FRIEND BUT COPPER IS SQUIRREL'S WORST ENEMY.

WE'LL SEE WHY AS WE HIT THE WOODS WITH CHELSEA AND JORDAN NEXT IT'S TIME TO GEAR UP AND GET OUT.

WE ARE TROUT FISHING AT A FINS LAKE.

>> OH NO.

>> WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

>> THEN WE ARE WITH BIOLOGISTS AND WE ARE HEADED INTO A BEAR DEN.

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.

IN THE WINTER AFTER DEER SEASON AND RABBIT SEASONS HAVE CLOSED THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY THAT SHOULD NOT BE OVERLOOKED AND THAT IS SQUIRREL HUNTING.

HERE WITH CHELSEA AND JORDAN AT THE END OF SQUIRREL SEASON.

WE HAVE DONE THIS A COUPLE TIMES BEFORE, HAVEN'T WE?

>> YEAH.

>> HOW OLD IS COPPER NOW?

>> HE'S FOUR.

>> FOUR.

>> YEAH.

>> WHAT TYPE OF BREED DOG IS THIS?

>> MOUNTAIN FEIST.

>> SO WHEN YOU GUYS RUN A SQUIRREL DOG LIKE THIS, A LOT OF TIMES YOU GET OUT OF THE CAROWAY FROM THE ROADS AND THURN THEM LOOSE AND MOVE THEM IN THE DIRECTION YOU WANT THEM TO WORK OR LET THEM DO THEIR OWN THING UNTIL THEY TREE ONE?

>> THEY USUALLY HELP US TAKE OFF ON HIS OWN FOR THE MOST PART.

HE WILL USUALLY DO A BIG CIRCLE AROUND IS USUALLY HOW HE OPERATES.

>> WE SHOULD HAVE PLENTY OF AREA TO WORK THE DOG AND HOPEFULLY SHOOT SOME SQUIRREL OUT THERE TODAY?

>> I THIS I WE WILL.

SO KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED.

(DOG BARKING).

>> I HEAR HIM NOW.

>> I DIDN'T KNOW HE RAN THAT DIRECTION.

HE RAN THAT WAY AND HE IS SO FAST.

YOU SEE IT CHELSEA?

>> NO.

I'M LOOKING.

>> IT'S IN THIS ONE.

THE SQUIRREL WENT IN THIS TREE.

110, 20 FEET.

GOOD BOY, LEAVE IT.

>> NICE JOB, I THINK WE ARE GOING TO SEE A BUNCH OF THEM TODAY.

I REALLY DO.

>> TODAY IS NOT THE PERFECT CONDITIONS.

TEMPERATURES IN THE 30S BUT CONSIDERING WHAT WE HAVE HAD RECENTLY, IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

>> LOOKS LIKE COPPER IS TREED.

>> I SEE IT.

>> PERFECT SHOT.

>> ONE GRAY, ONE.

>> COPPER DOESN'T KNOW IT BUT THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE THIS COULD BE THE LAST SQUIRREL OF THE YEAR.

THE SEASON IS ABOUT TO WIND DOWN.

>> NICE.

>> GOOD BOY, LITTLE BITTY GRAY SQUIRREL.

>> WE ARE SEEING GOOD NUMBER OF SQUIRREL, THAT'S FOR SURE.

REALLY GOOD FOR UPCOMING SQUIRREL SEASONS >> I SEE ANOTHER ONE.

I THINK THERE ARE A COUPLE IN THERE.

(GUNSHOT) >> NICE JOB.

THOSE ARE PRETTY GOOD SIZED.

>> WE THOUGHT SHAT ONE.

WE SHOT THAT ONE.

>> IT WAS PERFECT.

NO LEAVES ON THE TREES AND IT'S EASY TO NAVIGATE THE WOODS, THERE ARE NO TICKS, WE ALWAYS TRY TO DO A SQUIRREL HUNT IN THIS TIME OF YEAR.

(DOG BARKING) >> I SEE IT AT THE TOP.

SEE IT RIGHT THERE?

>> OH YEAH.

>> THAT WAS A GOOD SHOT THERE YOU GO.

NICE SHOT.

>> WE CAN GET BACK IN THE TRUCK.

WE'VE HAD A HECK OF A DAY.

>> YEAH?

>> SURE ENOUGH HE TREED ANOTHER SQUIRREL.

WE GOT ABOUT 150 YARDS TO GO.

HE MAY TREE ANOTHER ONE BEFORE WE GET OUT OF HERE.

>> WE MAY HAVE ONE MORE.

>> THIS IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR.

ONCE THE LEAVES ARE OFF THE TREE, TURKEY SEASON IS NOT HERE, DEER SEASON IS OVER.

THIS IS THE PERFECT TIME TO GET OUT AND TAKE A WALK THROUGH THE WOODS, GET A LITTLE WORK ON THE DOG.

>> IT'S FUN JUST WATCHING HIM REALLY.

HE'S PROBABLY THE BEST PART OF IT.

HE GETS EXCITED ABOUT IT AND HE GETS TO DO WHAT HE LOVES AND JUST EXCITING ALL AROUND.

>> I APPRECIATE YOU GUYS BRINGING THE DOG OUT AND LETTING ME WATCH IT WORK.

A LOT OF FUN.

THANK YOU GUYS.

HE DID GREAT AND WE GOT A MESS OF SQUIRREL.

>> WE SURE DID.

>> LET'S GO.

>> THANK YOU.

I'M HERE WITH LIEUTENANT McQUERY.

HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY?

>> GREAT CHAD, HOW ARE YOU?

>> I'M DOING FANTASTIC.

>> TURKEY SEASON IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

AS A CRVATION OFFICER, YOU ARE OUT IN THE FIELD MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS COMPLIANT, SAFE AND HAVING A GOOD TIME.

>> YOU ARE EXACTLY RIGHT.

OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO PROTECT THE WILDLIFE AND MAKE SURE THE HUNTERS ARE SAFE ENJOYING THE OUTDOORS.

>> A COUPLE THINGS THE TURKEY HUNTER NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT, ONE IS FEEDING.

NO DOUBT IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR, MARCH 1.

THE TIME TO SET WHERE WE CAN'T FEED WILDLIFE OUTSIDE THE IMMEDIATE AREA OF OUR HOME.

THAT DOES NOT PROHIBIT THE HUNTER FROM UTILIZING A FOOD PLOT OR NORMAL AGRICULTURAL PRACTICE TO INCREASE THE ODDS OF A SUCCESSFUL HUNT.

>> AND WE HAVE TO BE CAUTIOUS WHEN YOU TAKE THE ANIMAL, YOU HAVE THE TOOLS NEEDED TO APPROPRIATELY FILL OUT YOUR LICENSE.

>> WHAT WE RUN INTO THROUGHOUT THE YEAR IS HUNTERS WILL ADD TO THEIR TURKEY VEST, THEIR DECOYS, CALLS, ALL THE TOOLS NEEDED TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL HUNT BUT FORGET THEIR INK PENN.

INCLUDE ONE OR TWO IN YOUR VEST SO WHEN YOU HAVE THE SUCCESSFUL HARVEST, YOU CAN FILL OUT THE HARVEST LOG BEFORE YOU MOVE THE BIRD.

>> AND TARGET ACQUISITION.

WE WANT EVERYONE TO BE SAFE AND MAKE SURE WE GET ONE TURKEY, RIGHT?

>> EXACTLY RIGHT.

MAKE SURE THAT YOU ARE SHOOTING A LIVE REAL TURKEY THAT IT IS NOT ONE OF THE NEWER DECOYS THAT WE SEE NOW THAT LOOK EXTREMELY REALISTIC AND ALSO MAKE SURE THE BIRDS, AS THEY COME IN, A LOT OF TIMES IT WILL BE A GROUP OF JAKES OR TWO YEAR OLDS COMING TOGETHER.

MAKE SURE YOU WAIT FOR THE OPPORTUNITY AND ONLY GET ONE BIRD BECAUSE YOU ARE ALLOWED ONE BIRD A DAY.

>> TURKEY SEASON IS AROUND THE CORNER.

WE APPRECIATE YOU COMING IN TALKING TO US ABOUT THIS.

I KNOW A PERFECT TURKEY SEASON FOR YOU WOULD BE EVERYONE HAVING FUN, BEING SUCCESSFUL, NO VIOLATIONS AND NO INJURIES.

>> EXACTLY RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU.

>> STARTING A NEW HOBBY CAN BE EXPENSIVE BUT FISHING CAN BE DONE SUCCESSFULLY ON A BUDGET.

>> WELL, LEE, WE ARE AT ACADEMY SPORTING GOODS.

AND WE ARE GOING TO TAKE $50 EACH AND PRETEND THAT WE ARE NOT FISHERMEN AT ALL.

WE ARE GOING TO GO WITH $50.

WE DON'T HAVE RODS, REELS, HOOKS, BAIT.

WE HAVE NOTHING.

EXCEPT FOR A FISHING LICENSE.

WE DO HAVE THAT ALREADY.

>> WE DO.

>> WE ARE GOING TO GO ABOUT, PICK UP GEAR AND SHOW YOU HOW TO GET STARTED FISHING WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK BECAUSE IT'S A PASSION.

YOU HAVE THE PASSION.

I'VE GOT THE PASSION.

YOU PROBABLY SPEND MORE THAN $50 NOWADAYS WHEN YOU GO FISHING.

DON'T TELL YOUR WIFE.

>> I'M RUNNING OVER WHAT I SPENT IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.

[LAUGHTER] >> AND WE ARE GOING TO PICK UP SOME TACKLE AND SOME GEAR.

WE MAY TAKE THAT STRAIGHT TO A FINS LAKE NOT FAR FROM HERE AND CATCH SOME TROUT.

>> THERE ARE A COUPLE WAYS WE CAN START THIS.

TACKLE AND SEE HOW MUCH IS LEFT AND BUY A ROD AND REEL OR GO BUY AND ROD AND REEL AND SEE HOW MUCH YOU HAVE LEFT AND BUY THE TACKLE.

>> MAYBE THE ROD AND REEL FIRST.

>> I'M GOING FOR LIGHT ACTION SPINNING ROD AND REEL COMBO.

THAT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO START.

I THINK THAT'S THIS WAY.

LET'S SEE WHAT THEY GOT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

19.

A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN WE WANT.

>> THESE ACTUALLY COME WITH SOME TACKLE.

>> I HAVEN'T THROWN A SPIN CAST ROD IN YEARS.

>> WE KNOW THAT WE ARE TARGETING TROUT TODAY AND WE ARE LOOKING AT STOCK TROUT.

I DO THINK THAT THIS LIGHT ACTION MIGHT BE THE TICKET.

>> I THINK WE ARE GOOD.

>> IF I END UP GETTING SOME RED WORMS, THIS WILL BE THE SIZE I'LL PLAN ON USING.

>> THAT'S WHAT I NEED RIGHT THERE.

SO I THINK I GOT ABOUT $10 LEFT.

I'M GOING TO SEE HOW MUCH THE LIVE RED WORMS ARE, GET A PACK OF THAT AND THEN SEE WHAT WE GOT LEFT.

I'M REALLY CLOSE TO MY BUDGET NOW.

I THINK WE'RE DONE.

I BELIEVE WE ARE READY.

ALL RIGHT LEE, DO YOU WANT TO GO FIRST?

>> SURE, THAT WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE TO GO BACK AND PUT SOMETHING BACK.

>> START LOOKING AT WHAT YOU LIKE THE LEAST.

>> OKAY.

49.24.

>> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

>> I'M PROUD OF THAT.

>> MY TURN.

>> YOU KNOW WHAT'S AMAZING IS WE ACTUALLY GOT QUITE A BIT OF TACKLE FOR 49 BUCKS.

>> RIGHT AT 49.21.

>> WE WERE WITHIN A NICKEL OF EACH OTHER, CHAD.

>> THAT'S PRETTY CLOSE.

>> I'LL TAKE THAT.

>> I GOT A WHOLE BAG OF FUN.

>> I COULD USE THESE UP IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS PROBABLY.

I'LL GO OUT THERE AND GET HUNG AND BREAK EVERY ONE OFF IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES.

>> LIVE BAIT, TROUT BAIT.

WE ARE IN GOOD SHAPE.

LEE, HAVE YOU WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT FINS LAKES.

IF YOU WERE WANTING TO GET INTO FISHING, HOW WOULD YOU START ON PICKING A LAKE AND A TIME TO DO THAT?

>> WELL, THERE IS THE AXIOM, YOU GO FISHING WHEN YOU CAN.

SO TIME WISE, NOW UNTIL, YOU KNOW, I THINK THESE WOULD BE A GREAT WINTER EARLY SPRING OPTION.

WOULD I GO TO OUR WEBSITE.

GO TO THE SEARCH BAR ON THE TOP RIGHT AND PUT IN FINS, IT WILL TAKE YOU TO THE FINS PAGE.

THERE IS A LINK STOCKING SCHEDULE.

LOOK ON THE STOCKING SCHEDULE.

THAT'S WHY WE ARE HERE.

WE KNOW THESE HAVE BEEN RECENTLY STOCKED BECAUSE WE LOOKED ON THE STOCKING SCHEDULE.

IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO FISH ANYWHERE, YOU CAN JUDGE BY COUNTY, BY WATER BODY TYPE, BY ACCESS, BY SPECIES.

I USE IT ALL THE TIME IN MY RESEARCH.

>> ALL RIGHT.

I THINK I'M GOING TO MAKE MY WAY WHERE ALL THE FISH ARE BEING CAUGHT.

LET'S WALK UP HERE AND GIVE IT A SHOT.

>> ALL RIGHT.

IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE WE HEAR TURKEYS GOBBLE.

>> I KNOW.

>> YOU UH-HO.

WHAT HAVE WE GOT?

>> LOOKS LIKE A TROUT.

HERE WE GO.

SWITCH OVER TO THE POWER BAIT ON MY SECOND CAST.

HAD A BITE WE ARE GOING TO KEEP SOME OF THESE TODAY.

THIS IS ABOUT WHAT SIZE MOST OF THESE STOCK TROUT ARE, SOMEWHERE AROUND EIGHT INCHES, RAINBOW TROUT.

BEAUTIFUL FISH.

>> CHAD CAUGHT ONE.

THAT'S NICE.

LET'S SEE IF WE CAN GET LUCKY.

GOT 'EM.

ALL RIGHT.

>> IS THAT A POWER BAIT FISH?

>> POWER BAIT BROTHER.

NICE!

THAT'S A GOOD SIZE FOR A STOCKER.

IF YOU ONLY TEND TO RELEASE TROUT, A RUBBER NET IS A GREAT THING BECAUSE IT DOESN'T REMOVE THE SLIME COAT LIKE A NYLON COAT WILL.

I LIKE TO TOUCH TROUT AS LITTLE AS I CAN.

I GOT HIM RIGHT THERE.

THE HOOK IS OUT.

FIRST BITE OF THE DAY.

>> HELPS IF YOU DON'T STOP ON YOUR ROD.

THAT'S A REAL GOOD IDEA.

>> UH-HO.

HERE WE GO.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE MY NET?

>> I WOULD IF YOU DON'T MIND.

>> BRING HIM OVER, I'LL GET IT.

>> THANK YOU.

>> ALL RIGHT.

BEAUTIFUL RAINBOW TROUT.

WE'LL-- IT TOOK US BACK A BIT LIKE WE HAD NEVER FISHED.

WANTED TO SHOWCASE YOU DON'T NEED TO SPEND $5,000 TO GET INTO FISHING.

>> JUST POWER BAIT.

>> I HAD $25 IN A ROD AND PROBABLY $6 SOME HOOKS, SINKERS AND POWER BAIT.

I MEAN ANY DAY YOU CATCH A FISH IS A GOOD DAY.

>> IT HAS BEEN FUN, A GOOD TIME.

>> A REAL GOOD TIME.

>> I HAVEN'T DONE THIS IN A LONG TIME.

>> I FEEL LIKE A KID.

>> I DO, TOO.

HAVEN'T BOTTOM FISHED LIKE THIS IN A LONG, LONG TIME.

IT'S FUN.

>> WE HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO DO MANY COOL THINGS HERE ON KENTUCKY AFIELD I WOULD NEVER CONSIDER DOING WITHOUT A BIOLOGIST OR A TRAINED PROFESSIONAL ON HAND.

CHECKING ON BEAR CUBS IN THERE I DEN IS ONE OF THE COOLEST.

TODAY WE TRAVEL TO EXTREME SOWTD EASTERN KENTUCKY.

WE PULLED INTO A TOWN CALLED CUMBERLAND.

WE ARE GOING TO THE STATE PARK AND WE ARE GOING TO CHECK OUT SOME BEAR CUBS.

I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.

TELL ME ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GETTING READY TO DO.

>> WE ARE GETTING READY TO GO IN AND DO WHAT WE TYPICALLY DO IN THE WINTER.

HE CAUGHT THIS BEAR THIS SUMMER ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN AND WE ARE GOING IN TO SEE IF SHE HAS HAD CUBS AND HOW MANY AND WHAT SEX THEY ARE.

>> YOU'LL MIX UP A DRUG CONCOCTION TO PUT THE BEAR UNDER AND PULL THE CUBS OUT AND DO SOME TESTING CORRECT?

>> EXACTLY.

>> TELL ME THE PURPOSE.

>> POPULATION.

ALLOWS US TO SET QUOTAS AND HUNTING SEASON LENGTHS.

ONE OF THE BIG PIECES EVER THAT IS CUB SURVIVAL OVER THE COURSE OF THE YEAR.

THIS BEAR SHOULD HAVE CUBS.

WHEN WE GO IN AND WE FIND THREE, WE'LL CHECK ON HER AGAIN NEXT SUMMER AND IF SHE HAS THREE YEARLINGS THEN WE HAVE HAD 100% CUB SURVIVAL.

>> THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE BEEN THIS CLOSE TO A WILD BEAR.

I'M EXCITED ABOUT GOING IN AND SEEING HOW IT WORKS OUT.

A COUPLE HUNDRED YARDS DOWN THE HILLSIDE.

>> YES.

>> AND YOU'VE LOCATED IT.

>> WE HAVE A GENERAL LOCATION.

WE HAVE A FLIGHT DONE A FEW WEEKS AGO TO GIVE US A GENERAL IDEA WHERE SHE IS AT.

SO WE KNOW APPROXIMATELY WHERE SHE IS AN WE WILL HAVE TO GO IN ON FOOT AND ACTUALLY FIND WHERE HER DEN IS.

>> YOU GUYS TELL US HOW FAR BACK TO STAY.

HOW FAR DOES THAT THUNK WORK?

>> YOU HAVE A LINE OF SIGHT OF FOUR OR FIVE MILES.

>> MOST OF THE BEARS ON TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN.

>> AMAZING IT WORKS THAT WAY THOUGH.

>> YEP.

SO RIGHT NOW THEY'VE GOT A SIGNAL FROM THIS BEAR.

THEY THINK IT'S ABOUT 350 YARDS AWAY.

>> THEY'RE GOING TO TRY TO LOCATE THIS BEAR WHILE WE ARE AT A DISTANCE: YOU CAN SEE BY LOOKING AT THE TRAIN, IT'S PRETTY ROUGH.

TOUGH TERRAIN AND THIS BEAR IS SOMEWHERE WHERE IT FELT SAFE WITH ITS CUBS TO TRY TO HIDE SO IT'S A LITTLE BIT OF A SEARCH AND FIND GAME HERE.

>> IT WASN'T A BAD SHOT.

A MALFUNCTION WITH THE DART.

AS IT CAME OUT THE BARREL, THE DRUG WAS EJECTING AND ROLLED OFF THE BEAR AND DIDN'T GET ANY DRUG IN THE FEMALE.

>> COME ON.

UNFORTUNATELY SOMETIMES THEY DO TAKE OFF.

IT DOES HAPPEN.

>> WE DIDN'T GET THE DATA WE WANTED FROM THE FEMALE BUT THIS IS ABOUT CUB SURVIVAL RIGHT.

>> A HUGE PORTION IS FOCUSED ON THE CUB.

>> SO RIGHT HERE, WE ARE LITERALLY STANDING ON TOP OF THE BEAR DN.

THE CUBS ARE RIGHT HERE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THERE ARE THREE OF THEM HERE SO WE ARE GOING GET THEM OUT AND GET THEM WORKED UP AND BACK IN THEIR DEN SITE.

A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THIS WOULD BE COMPLETELY COVERED IN A CAVE OR SOMEWHERE AND LOOK WHAT WE HAVE HERE, RIGHT IN A BIG TREE.

GIVE ME ONE OR TWO OF THEM.

>> THEY LOOK PRETTY FAT.

>> THEY HAVE THEIR EYES OPEN.

>> SMELL LIKE PUPPIES.

>> SO IS THREE PRETTY COMMON?

>> THREE IS REALLY COMMON OUT HERE.

>> ONE THING I DIDN'T KNOW COMING OUT HERE TO DO THIS WAS HOW WE HAD BEWARE OF SCENT.

THE MOTHER DOESN'T NECESSARILY GET TOO CARRIED AWAY.

>> EXACTLY.

WHEN WE ARE TRAPPING THEM, WE LEAVE HUMAN SCENT AROUND.

IT'S NOT LIKE COYOTE TRAPPING.

AS SOON AS SHE COMES BACK HE'LL SHE'LL RECOGNIZE HERS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT OURS.

>> OBVIOUSLY THE BEARS HAVE A LOT OF MECHANISMS FOR PROTECTING THEMSELVES.

ONE OF THEM IS JUST HIDING IN A DEN WITH THE MOTHER.

SO THESE BEARS WILL DEN WITH HER NEXT YEAR.

>> THEY WILL AS ONE-YEAR-OLDS.

>> AND AFTER THAT, THEY WILL MOVE OFF ON THEIR OWN.

>> RIGHT.

>> AT WHAT POINT IN TIME DOES THE MOTHER DECIDE TO USE THE MECHANISM TO GO UP A TREE OR WHATEVER, CAN THESE GUYS JOIN HER?

>> ABSOLUTELY QUICKLY.

AS SOON AS THEY COME OUT OF THE DEN, THEY CAN RUN UP A TREE.

THAT'S THEIR NUMBER ONE DEFENSE MECHANISM AS CUBS.

MOM WILL MAKE A NOISE AND THEY'LL GO TO THE HIGHEST BRANCH IN THE TREE.

>> HOW LONG BEFORE THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CUBS.

>> TWO TO THREE, DEPENDING ON THEIR NUTRITION.

>> HOW OLD DO YOU THINK THESE ARE?

>> A LITTLE OVER A MONTH.

>> WE ARE GOING TO FIND OUT IF WE HAVE MALES OR FEMALES.

>> THEY'LL GET A MICROCHIP LIKE YOUR DOG GETS AT THE VET IF WE CATCH THEM AGAIN IN TWO OR THREE YEARS WHEN THEY'RE GROWN, WE'LL KNOW WHO THEY CAME IN FROM.

NUMBER ONE IS A FEMALE.

>> A YEAR FROM NOW WHAT DO THEY WEIGH?

>> 50 TO 60 WHEN.

WHEN THEY GO IN THE DEN NEXT YEAR, THEY PUT IN A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT.

>> THIS ONE HERE IS LIKE NOPE.

>> FEMALE.

>> ANOTHER FEMALE.

>> MALE.

>> WELL, IT'S INTERESTING WORK.

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