Set your sights on confidence this weekend on "Kentucky Afield" TV
10/14/08
Frankfort, Kentucky - Deer season alone doesn't guarantee harvest. This weekend, October 18 and 19, we follow youthful excitement and an expert's focus to find what does.
First, we head to the fields of Bourbon County with local resident Houston McFarland. We temper the 10-year-old's zest and enthusiasm with the calm hand of experience. Host Tim Farmer mentors the lad with helpful tips during Kentucky's youth hunt weekend, held October 11-12.
Meanwhile, Bill Balda not only serves as Kentucky's hunter education supervisor, he is classified in the highest category of high-power rifle competitors nationwide. This weekend, the Distinguished Rifleman gives Farmer timely advice on sighting-in rifles for white-tailed deer season. The two meet in Oldham County at the Crestwood Open Range, an indoor shooting facility, with the aim on safety, precision and success.
Also on the show, part II of the three-part series, "Deer Processing: From the field to the freezer." Scott County butcher Sim Harp joins Farmer for deboning procedures. Here, they get into the meat of the series of which sections will be the hams, roasts, steaks, burger and more. DVR users take note: These are excerpts from the popular DVD normally sold on the program's website.
