“Kentucky Afield” TV sets sights on rabbits, pheasants, crickets this weekend
1/23/08
Frankfort, Kentucky – Scruffy habitat hinders humans but is home sweet home for rabbits and pheasants. A look inside is scheduled this weekend on “Kentucky Afield” television.
Pheasant hunting with a bow may sound like the sport of trick shot artists. Host Tim Farmer hunts the Henry County hills with old friends for these fast flyers. As you’ll see, this unique sport requires specialized equipment.
A sport that gives hunters a bit more confidence in their shot is found this weekend in Trigg County. Farmer and company traipse fields in search of cottontail rabbits.
And what’s all that chirping? Farmer visits his cousin, nicknamed the “Cricket Farmer.” Barry Farmer raises crickets as a favorite for bait shops. With 7 million crickets currently, his operation is growing by leaps.
“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. “Kentucky Afield” airs Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /7:30 p.m. Central and is repeated on Sunday at 4 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Central on KET 1.
