>> THERE SHE GOES... (DOG BARKING).

>> THIS WEEK ON KENUCKY AFIELD... >> OH YEAH I SEE IT.

>> A COUPLE OF EASTERN KENTUCKY BOYS HAVE JOINED US IN THE BLUEGRASS AND THEY'VE BROUGHT ALONG THEIR SQUIRREL DOG BELL.

NEXT, WE ARE HEADED SOUTH NEAR BARREN RIVER LAKE AND WE'RE LOOKING FOR SAND HILL CRANES.

THEN, DEER SEASON MIGHT HAVE COME TO AN END, BUT FOR THE SERIOUS HUNTER, IT'S NEVER OVER.

>> WHAT A NICE DAY TO BE OUT HERE WALKING AROUND.

>> IT'S TIME TO START LOOKING FOR SHEDS.

>> GOOD JOB.

THAT'S ALL NEXT ON "KENTUCKY AFIELD."

NICE JOB.

>> 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 AND WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD.

I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.

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

MANY HUNTERS IN KENTUCKY START OFF HUNTING RABBITS AND SQUIRREL AND WHEN YOU GET TO EXPERIENCE YOUR FIRST HARVEST WITH YOUR SIBLING, THAT'S AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU WILL NEVER FORGET.

STAND STILL.

HOLD ON TO HER LEAD THERE FOR A SECOND.

I'M OUT HERE WITH BRAD POWERS.

THIS IS A REUNION SHOW.

>> FOUR YEARS I THINK.

>> THE VERY FIRST SHOW I DID WITH A SQUIRREL DOG WAS WHEN YOU BROUGHT CADEN OUT ON THIS SAME PIECE OF PROPERTY FOUR YEARS AGO.

>> THAT'S IT.

I'LL NEVER FORGET, I DON'T THINK CADEN HAD KILLED A SQUIRREL AT THAT POINT HAD YOU?

>> NO.

>> AND I'VE HEARD THAT YOU'VE SHOT A BUNCH SINCE THEN.

>> SURE HAVE.

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

YOU BROUGHT A DIFFERENT DOG.

>> THIS IS BELL.

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

WE REALLY HAVE.

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

>> THIS IS CARSON.

WE HAD TO LEAVE HIM AT HOME LAST TIME.

HE WAS A LITTLE TOO YOUNG.

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

>> WHEN DID YOU KILL YOUR FIRST SQUIRREL?

>> THIS YEAR.

>> SO HEY, HOW MANY SQUIRREL HAVE YOU SHOT THIS YEAR?

>> 12.

>> THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

YOU'VE HAD A GOOD YEAR.

FIRST YEAR AND YOU'VE ALREADY GOT 12 SQUIRREL.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.

WE GOT A MILE THIS WAY.

LET'S CUT HER LOOSE AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

>> SOUNDS GREAT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE FUN.

WE'LL HAVE A HARD TIME KEEPING UP WITH THE DOGS AND THE BOYS.

I HARDLY GOT MY GUN LOADED AND WE'VE GOT A SQUIRREL TREED.

>> I GOT A FEEL THAT THERE IS NO WAY THAT SQUIRREL IS SITTING IN THE TREE WITHOUT BEING IN THAT NEST.

YOU BOYS GET READY.

GO, GO!

>> KILL IT, CADEN.

(GUNSHOTS) >> HERE YOU GO, 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.

[LAUGHTER] GOOD JOB.

GOOD JOB.

>> YEAH BUDDY.

>> 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 A SCENT TRAIL AND THEY PUSH IT UP A TREE AND THAT'S WHEN,... >> A LOT OF TIME, THEY'LL WORK OFF THEIR EYES MAINLY.

EYES AND EARS.

AND THEN AS THEY GET OLDER, MOST OF THE TIME WHEN THEY'RE AROUND THREE YEARS OLD, THEY'LL START USING THEIR NOSE SOME.

THEY MAINLY START WITH EYES AND EARS.

>> RIGHT NOW WITH THE, SHE IS GIVING AN ALERT BARKING EVERY NOW AND THEN, PROBABLY THE FACT THAT SHE IS-- >> SHE IS SMELLING ONE IN THE WIND MOST LIKELY, JUST SMELLING THAT IT IS UP THERE.

GET 'EM GIRL.

I'M GOING TO GO AROUND THE BACK OF THE TREE AND SEE IF I CAN TURN IT.

WHERE'S IT AT YOU CANS GIRL?

-- WHERE IS IT AT, GIRL?

THERE IT IS.

I SEE IT!

>> GET IT!

>> FOX SQUIRREL.

>> I GOT IT.

(DOG BARKING) >> THERE SHE GOES.

GOOD SHOT, BUD AGREE LET'S GO.

RIGHT THROUGH THE DOG.

>> HE HAS BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR THAT.

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

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

>> THAT'S A BIG ONE.

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

WE GOT YOUR FIRST FOX SQUIRREL ON CAMERA.

>> WE DID.

>> GOOD JOB.

THAT'S A BIGGUN.

NICE JOB.

>> THANKS.

>> YOU GOT TO HAVE THAT ONE MOUNTED, CADEN.

>> I LOVE WATCHING THE DOG.

WHEN SHE GETS EXCITED AND HOPS UP ON HER BACK LEGS, YOU KNOW SHE IS LOCKING ON TO THIS A SQUIRREL.

THAT'S PROBABLY MY FAVORITE PART.

>> OKAY.

>> I THINK I SAW ONE.

>> FOX SQUIRREL!

>> EVERYBODY READY?

>> GO.

(GUNSHOT).

>> TAKE GOOD AIM.

DO IT AGAIN.

(GUNSHOT) (GUNSHOT).

>> GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

GOOD GIRL.

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

>> CARSON, THAT FIRST SHOT, IT WAS ALMOST STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN FOR HIM.

THAT'S A HARD SHOT, BUDDY.

WE'LL GET THE NEXT ONE.

>> HE'S TORE UP.

MAKE SURE YOU RELOAD AND GET READY.

>> I DID.

>> HE'S 187 YARDS.

>> SHE IS RIGHT ON THE SIDE OF THE HILL.

>> YEAH.

>> CARSON, DO YOU SEE IT GOOD?

>> YEAH, I SEE IT.

>> GET YOUR GUN UP.

(GUNSHOT) CARSON HIT IT.

>> OLD HOLD ON.

THERE IT COMES.

WHO KILLED IT?

>> YOU GOT IT, BUDDY YES, FINALLY.

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

>> BELL, CAN I SEE MY BIG SQUIRREL?

>> HEY ABOUT THAT, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

YOU NOT ONLY KILLED A SQUIRREL ON TV, YOU GOT TO KILL YOURSELF YOUR VERY, VERY FIRST FOX SQUIRREL.

IS THIS YOUR BIGGEST SQUIRREL EVER?

>> FOR SURE I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, PEOPLE ASK ME ALL THE TIME, I'VE GOT A KID INTERESTED IN HUNTING.

HOW SHALL I GET THEM STARTED.

EVERYONE WANTS TO START WITH DEER AND TURKEY, BUT THIS, ESPECIALLY WITH A DOG, LOOK, WE HUNTERS ORANGE ON, WE CAN WALK AROUND.

BOTH BOYS WILL SHOOT TODAY.

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

IT'S VERY HARD TO KIDS TO SIT STILL AND WAIT FOR SOMETHING TO HAPPEN.

HERE YOU ARE CONSTANTLY MOVING.

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

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO INTRODUCE A KID TO HUNTING BECAUSE YOU ARE MOVING THE WHOLE TIME.

IT'S ACTION.

>> I'M READY TO GET BACK TO THE TRUCK AND ANYONE ISSUE MY SAUSAGE AND HOT CAKES BUS I'M HUNGRY.

>> DURING THE WINTER TIME IN KENTUCKY, IF YOU HEAR BIRDS FLYING SUPER HIGH AND THEY'RE NOT GEESE, THOSE ARE PROBABLY SAND HILL CRANES AND THEY'RE ANOTHER HUNTING OPPORTUNITY.

>> IT NEVER FAILS WHEN YOU PUT THEM OUT IN THE MORNING BEFORE IT'S LIGHT AND YOU HAVE DONE A GOOD JOB, DAYLIGHT COMES AND THEY'RE TOO TIGHT.

>> I SET MY PERIMETER FIRST SO I KNOW I'M 60 OR 70 YARDS FROM THE BLIND.

THAT GIVES ME THE OUTER LIMIT AND THEN I FILL IN.

IT MAKES IT APPEAR BIGGER FROM THE AIR, LIKE THERE ARE MORE.

THE BIRDS UP IN THE AIR, LOOKS LIKE A SMALL GROUP MAY NOT BE ATTRACTIVE TO THEM.

SOMETIMES I WILL BE OUT HERE AND PULL EVERY ONE UP AND COVER IT UP WITH GRASS AND THEN HUNTING IF THERE IS TOO MUCH MOVEMENT IN THEM, YOU CAN'T HAVE TOO MUCH MOVEMENT.

THAT WILL FLAIR THEM.

>> THE LIGHT BREEZE THEY'RE MOVING A LITTLE BIT.

AWE DON'T WANT THEM TURNING FACING THE SAME DIRECTION BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THEY ACT WHEN THERE IS SOMETHING THREATENING.

IF THEY SEE A COYOTE WALKING ACROSS THE FIELD, THEY'RE ALL GOING TO TURN AND FACE THAT DIRECTION.

FROM THE AIR THAT TELLS OTHER BIRDS SOMETHING IS WRONG.

>> COMPLETELY NON-ALARMED, JUST FEEDING, DOING THEIR THING.

>> YOU ALWAYS WANT MORE FEEDERS THAN YOU DO CENTURIES.

-- SENTRIES.

THAT'S THE FIRST GROUP AND I HEAR ANOTHER ONE COMING.

LOOKS LIKE WE SET UP JUST IN TIME.

>> THEY ROOST ON BARREN RIVER LAKE AND ABOUT THIS TIME EVERY MORNING, THEY COME UP IN GROUPS OF 10 OR 20 TO AREAS THEY KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO FEED, MOST LIKELY AREAS THEY FED THE DAY BEFORE.

WHEN THEY GO BACK TO THE ROOST FROM THE FIELD IN THE EVENING, THEY'LL PICK UP IN GROUPS OF 40 AND 50.

>> HERE IN KENTUCKY, WHEN DO WE SEE THEM AND HOW LONG WILL THEY BE HERE?

>> TYPICALLY START COMING THROUGH, DEPENDING ON THE WEATHER, THE END OF OCTOBER TO THE END OF FEBRUARY.

>> I WITNESS SAND HILL CRANES FROM A DISTANCE A LOT.

FROM THE DEER STAND, THAT'S THE TIME OF YEAR YOU SEE THEM AND FROM A BOAT BUT TO BE THIS CLOSE TO THEM, I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

>> IT COULD HAPPEN IN A MINUTE OR TWO OR WE COULD BE HERE A COUPLE OF HOURS.

DEPENDING ON HOW THEY FLY.

>> IT'S BEAUTIFUL OUT HERE AND WE ARE DRESSED FOR THE COLD, SO WHATEVER IT TAKES, I'M FINE WITH IT.

I'M GOING TO ENJOY EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

>> NO DOUBT.

WE'VE SEEN OUR FIRST GROUP OF BIRDS.

COULD HAPPEN ANY TIME NOW.

THE BIRDS THAT WE ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO ARE GOING TO BE COMING IN FRONT OF US.

THOSE ARE THE ONES THAT ARE GOING TO GIVE US PLAY OVER THE BLIND.

THAT'S WHAT WE ARE AFTER.

>> SEVERAL GROUPS ARE OUT RIGHT NOW MAKING THEIR WAY.

THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW COMING OVER TO THE RIGHT-HAND SIDE.

IT WOULD BE NICE IF WE COULD GET SOME SMALLER GROUPS TO COME THROUGH.

>> RIGHT GR.

SO ONCE THEY COME IN, WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE IN RANGE.

IF THEY DROP DOWN TO TREETOP LEVEL, THEY'RE GOING TO BE GOOD.

>> SEE IT ON MY SIDE?

THEY'RE LOW ENOUGH IF THEY COME OVER.

THEY'RE FLARING A LITTLE BIT.

THEY'RE COMING IN CLOSE BUT RIGHT AT THE VERY END THEY'RE STARTING TO PEEL OUT TO THE RIGHT AND THE LEFT.

THERE ARE A FEW RIGHT THERE ABOUT 15 IN THERE.

THERE'S THAT GROUP IN FLONT OF US.

THEY'RE COMING OVER THE TREES LIKE I WANT.

>> A LITTLE LOWER THAN THE LAST COUPLE.

THIS MAY GIVE US A CHANCE.

>> I'M HEARING BIRDS ALL AROUND US.

(GUNSHOT) NICE SHOT.

BIRD DOWN.

FIRST CRANE EVER.

I LOVE IT.

THAT WAS AWESOME.

SIT DOWN GET BACK DOWN BECAUSE THEY'RE LIABLE TO COME IN FROM ANYWHERE AGAIN.

>> I DIDN'T EVEN SEE THAT BIRD SO MANY BIRDS AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY CAN COME FROM ANYWHERE.

>> THEY CAN.

>> THOUSANDS OF BIRDS COMING FROM THIS WAY AND SO MANY MADE THEIR WAY BEHIND US, AND THEY JUST CIRCLE AND FLY AROUND.

>> YOU DON'T KNOW, YOU EXPECT THEM TO COME FROM FRONT BUT LUCKILY YOU SAW IT COME FROM THE BACK.

MORE COMING RIGHT NOW.

>> PLENTY MORE CHANCES.

>> I'M LOADED UP READY TO GO YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY CAREFUL, SHOOTING A SINGLE IS GREAT BUT IF THEY COME IN 10S AND 15S, BE CAREFUL ON THE NEXT SHOT I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE NOT GOING TOO FAST.

I'LL TAKE THE FIRST BIRD OR LAST ONE.

>> THERE ARE MORE COMING OVER THE TREES RIGHT NOW.

>> THEY'RE COMING IN LIKE I WANT THEM BUT RIGHT AT THE END THEY'RE STARTING TO FLARE.

I WANT TO PULL A FEW OF THESE DECOYS AND SEE IF IT DOESN'T HELP.

>> ALL RIGHT.

>> THESE BIRDS HERE, THEY LOOK GOOD RIGHT NOW.

THIS MAY BE IT RIGHT HERE.

THEY'RE GOING TO BE A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE LAST ONE SO YOU MAY HAVE TO LEAD THIS BIRD A LITTLE BIT.

BE READY.

THEY'RE GOING TO DO IT.

PREP GUNSHOT).

>> THERE WE GO!

I TAGGED OUT.

THAT IS AWESOME.

YOUR SECOND SAND HILL CRANE DISL.

THIS COULD NOT HAVE WORKED OUT ANY BETTER.

WE HAD TWO BIRDS FLY RIGHT OVER US HERE.

THAT WORKED OUT GREAT.

>> IT DID AND THEY'RE STILL FLYING ALL OVER.

BIRDS COMING FROM EVERY DIRECTION.

THIS WAS REALLY EXCITING.

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE YOUR BRINGING ME OUT HERE TO DO THIS.

THIS WAS AN ABSOLUTE BLAST.

>> I LOVE WATCHING AS MUCH AS SHOOTING MYSELF.

>> YOU PUT US IN A SPOT, YOU KNEW RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO BE AND RIGHT WHERE THEY WERE GOING TO FEED.

WE GOT RIGHT IN THEIR TRAVEL CORRIDOR AND WE HAVE SEEN SOME BIRDS.

>> GOT TO GO OUT THERE AND TAG YOUR BIRD.

>> GOT TO LOOK AND WHAT WE GOT.

SO HERE WE GO WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BIRD AND THIS ONE HAS WHAT I WOULD CALL A LITTLE RED ON TOP AN ADULT BIRD WILL HAVE NO FEATHERS ON ITS HEAD AND IT WILL BE JUST RED SKIN TO THE BACK OF ITS HEAD MARK LITTLE OR NO RED.

>> THERE IS NO EXISTING BANDS ON THIS BIRD SO IT WILL BE NO THE NEXT PROCESS IS WHEN YOU APPLY, YOU GET ABAND ATTACHED TO THE LEG OF THE BIRD.

>> BUT WILL YOU NEED THAT NUMBER THERE 2039.

OF COURSE I'LL LET YOU DO THE HONORS.

WHEN YOU TAG A CRANE, YOU COME ABOVE THE KNUCKLE AND WRAP IT TWICE AND LOCK IT IN.

>> ONCE IT'S LOCKED, IT'S LOCKED.

YOU WILL FEEL IT CLICK WHEN YOU GET IN THERE.

>> THE INTERESTING THING ON THE SAND HILL CRANE, YOU PUT IN FOR THE LOTTERY, IF YOU ARE DRAWN, YOU ARE SENT A LINK TO WHERE YOU GO AND HAVE TO TAKE A TEST THAT SHOWS ME EXACTLY HOW THE BIRDS LOOK IN FLIGHT, HOW THEY LOOK JUVENILE, AND THE REASON THAT IS IS FOR WHAT?

>> THERE IS A CONCERN THAT HUNTERS WILL MISTAKE A SAND HILL CRANE FOR A WHOOPING CRANE OR GREAT BLUE HERON.

SO THE TEST HAS QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN IDENTIFY THE DIFFERENCE.

THERE ARE A LOT OF DON'T SHOOT OR SHOOT QUESTIONS.

YOU MAY HAVE A SCENARIO WHERE YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT COLOR THE BIRD IS.

IF YOU CAN'T TELL WHAT COLOR IT IS, YOU NEED TO BE CAREFUL AND NOT SHOOT THAT BIRD BECAUSE IT COULD BE A WHOOPING CRANE.

BEING IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, I FEEL LIKE HAVING A SAND HILL CRANE SEASON TULLEY HELPS PROTECT THE WHOOPING CRANE BECAUSE NOW YOU ARE PUTTING HUNTERS IN THE FIELD WHO ARE EDUCATED IN WHAT WHOOPING CRANES LOOK LIKE, THE FACT THAT THEY NEED PROTECTION.

>> AND THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING OF WHOOPING CRANE IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY BY A HUNTER, CORRECT?

>> NO.

>> WE ARE GOING TO GET THIS BIRD PICKED UP.

BEFORE I PROCESS THIS BIRD OR BEFORE MIDNIGHT, HAVE I TO TELECHECK AND PUT THE CONFIRMATION ON HERE.

AT THIS POINT IN TIME, WE ARE GOING TO CHECK OUR OTHER BIRD OUT.

>> LET'S GO GET IT.

>> LOOK HOW THERE ARE NO FEATHERS AND HOOK HOW MUCH RED ON THE HEAD OF THE THIS BIRD.

>> CORRECT.

THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED AN ADULT.

YOU SEE ON AN ADULT BIRD THAT HAVE YOU A LOT MORE TAN IN THE WING, JUST A BEAUTIFUL BIRD.

>> IT IS JUST A STUNNINGLY BEAUTIFUL BIRD.

A LOT OF PEOPLE DON'T KNOW THAT THESE ARE EXCELLENT TO EAT.

>> THEY'RE GREAT.

THE NICKNAME FOR THEM IS RIB-EYE OF THE SKY.

>> IT DOESN'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN RIB-EYE.

>> YOU CAN GRILL IT, FRY IT, BAKE IT.

BUT I LIKE TO TAKE THE BREAST AND CUT IT IN STRIPS AND SOAK THOSE STRIPS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS IN SALT WATER AND GET SOME OF THAT BLOOD OUT AND IT MAKES FOR MUCH BETTER TABLE FARE.

>> AND LOOK, WE HAVE BEEN OUTSIDE THE BLIND FOR A GOOD 30 MINUTES AND THE BIRTH ARE STILL FLYING IN.

AND THIS WOULD BE A SPOT, IF YOU WERE GOING TO HUNT TOMORROW, WOULD YOU COME RIGHT BACK HERE FOR ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY.

>> YOU COULD COME BACK TO THE SAME SPOT IN A DAY OR TWO.

>> I'M EXCITED TO GET THESE THINGS ON A HOT GRILL, I'LL TELL YOU THAT.

>> THEY'RE GREAT.

>> FEBRUARY IS THE MONTH HERE IN KENTUCKY THAT I LIKE TO GET OUT AND START LOOKING FOR ANTLER SHEDS.

IT'S A GREAT WAY TO TAKE INVENTORY AND SEE WHAT BUCKS SURVIVED.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ I LOVE BEING OUT HERE IN SHAKER VILLAGE.

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO SEE AND DO BUT TODAY WE HAVE SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
