From KY Fish & W--Turkey

Frankfort, Ky. – The challenge of fall turkey season turns toward success when you choose your words and your birds carefully. We talk details this weekend, November 15 and 16, on “Kentucky Afield” TV.

Outside of the spring breeding season, eastern wild turkeys have little to say to potential mates or calling hunters. This dialogue with nature, though absent during the fall season, is part of the popularity of the sport. But Rick Sumpter is one sportsman who is not likely to come home empty handed. On this episode, we follow the Madison County resident into the woods as he tells us what hunters and turkeys want to hear.

With holiday season approaching, we venture to Bath County. Brenda Lucas uses game bird feathers to tickle our interest in creating decorative wreaths with a sporting touch.

Elsewhere, modern gun deer season is underway. Host Tim Farmer and crew are currently in the field taking aim for a great show.

“Kentucky Afield” is a production of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. It is the longest continuously-running outdoor television show in the nation.
