Elk Season Opens With a Surprise This Weekend on “Kentucky Afield” TV

Posted by John Humphress on Oct 4, 2010

FRANKFORT, Ky. – We travel to eastern Kentucky for opening day of bull elk season with a hunter who won his permit by surprise. Watch the story on “Kentucky Afield” television this weekend, Oct. 9 and 10.

While Lexington’s Don Jenkins has hunted big game around the world, being drawn to hunt Kentucky elk came as a complete surprise. On the sly, his wife entered his name into a drawing for a special elk permit sponsored by the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Follow Jenkins and our host, Tim Farmer, into the woods of Clay County for the hunt.

For generations, Camp Robert Webb, Camp Earl Wallace and Camp John Currie have provided a week of outdoor learning and fun for boys and girls across the state. Proceeds from the elk hunting fund-raiser won by Jenkins netted nearly $90,000, which will make needed improvements to camp facilities as well as provide scholarships for youth to attend.

“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 at 8:30 p.m. Eastern /7:30 p.m. Central Saturdays, and repeats at 4 p.m. Eastern/3 p.m. Central Sundays on KET 1.
