OUTDOOR TV

A trophy-sized deer dwarfs everything but a young girl’s dreams this weekend, Dec. 19 and 20, on “Kentucky Afield” TV.

Fourteen-year-olds don’t typically humble seasoned hunters with their harvests. Michaella “Mikie” Monroe, however, is not typical and neither is her deer. Host Tim Farmer introduces us to the Spencer County sportswoman whose buck, taken during the October youth hunt, is bound for the Boone and Crockett Club’s all-time record book.

Next, we mix business with pleasure. Angler Ed White demonstrates a trotline device he invented that blends recreational with commercial fishing. We head to Lake Barkley for a closer look at how the two come together.

Lastly, we return to the novel “Cogan’s Woods.” With Kentucky novelist Ron Ellis, we re-trace a son’s memories of journeys taken with his father. Farmer chats with the Kenton County writer about the story set in the fictional Ohio River town of Persimmon Gap. Originally airing in 2007, this touching tale ushers in the Christmas spirit.
