PRESS RELEASE

For Immediate Release

Frankfort, Ky. – With Kentucky’s modern gun deer season still open in Zones 1 and 2 through Nov. 23, we recall a day when there was no season because there were no deer. What we lost and what it cost air this weekend, Nov. 22 and 23, on “Kentucky Afield” television.

In 1916, the commonwealth was home to less than 1,000 deer – a factor leading to a 40-year ban on deer hunting. This weekend, experts including David Yancy, deer historian for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, will look at the science and practicality of quality deer management. Today, all 120 counties share in the success story that has ranked our state in the top five nationally for trophy white-tailed deer.

While adrift in yesteryear, we knock on the door of the Conley cabin in Magoffin County. There, host Tim Farmer meets a master craftsman of muzzleloaders, knives and powder horns. Another example of how pioneer life meets a pioneering spirit.

“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. The program airs Saturday at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /7:30 p.m. Central and is repeated Sunday at 4 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Central on KET 1.
