♪  WE GOT A KEEPER!
HELLO AND WELCOME TO KENTUCKY AFIELD, I'M YOUR HOST CHAD MILES.
JOIN US AS WE JOURNEY THE COMMONWEALTH IN SEARCH OF OUTDOOR ADVENTURE.
THE LEAVES ARE STARTING TO CHANGE AND THE NUTS ARE STARTING TO FALL AND YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS?
IT'S TIME TO GO SQUIRREL HUNTING.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME AGAIN.
>> ELLIE MAY.
>> WHAT IS SHE?
A MOUNTAIN FEIST THEY USE THEIR EYES, EARS AND NOSE REAL WELL.
THEY MIGHT GET ON THEIR HIND LEGS.
THEY WIND AND THEY GO GET EM.
>> THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE HERE FOR.
>> SHE IS PRETTY ACCURATE THIS LITTLE DOG HERE IS.
I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ALL OF THEM BUT I LIKE THE BREED JUST FOR THE FACT THAT USUALLY WHEN THEY TREE, THERE IS MEAT THERE BECAUSE YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NOT JUST SMELLING A TRACK, THEY'RE SMELLING THE WHOLE SQUIRREL.
WHEN SHE STARTS BOUNCING LIKE THAT, SHE IS SMELLING LIKE RIGHT THERE.
I THINK SHE SMELLS ONE RIGHT NOW, GUYS.
>> LOOK AT HER BITING ON THAT GOOD GIRL.
WE ARE GOING TO GET THAT ONE.
IT'S IN THE HOLE.
COME HERE, BABY.
>> I USUALLY JUST TRACK HER A LITTLE WAYS, GO THROUGH THIS GATE AND HEAD UP THIS WAY TO THE RIGHT AND SHE SHOULD HAVE US ANOTHER ONE TREED IN NO TIME.
SHE IS ON THAT TREE, BUDDY BOTH FRONT FEET.
>> I JUST SAW THE SQUIRREL, TOO.
SETTING RIGHT UP IN THE TOP.
>> THERE ARE TWO.
>> THERE IS TWO?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, STEVE, YOU GET IN RANGE WHERE YOU THINK YOU CAN GET IN RANGE OF ONE AND IF THE OTHER ONE TAKES OFF, I WILL BE READY.
I'M REAL CAREFUL ABOUT THE WAY I SHOOT.
READY.
THERE YOU GO.
THERE'S ONE.
THERE IS ONE MORE UP THERE.
YEP.
YOU WANT TO SHOOT IT?
HE IS UP IN THAT SAME FORT , CHAD.
(DOGS BARKING) >> TOLD YOU THAT GUN IS DEAD ON.
YEAH MAN.
GOOD GIRL!
GOOD GIRL!
>> NICE JOB ELLIE MAY!
GOOD JOB.
>> I'M TELLING YOU WHAT,.
>> SHE LOVES IT.
>> WE ENJOY GETTING OUT HERE AND IT'S ALWAYS BOOED GOOD FOR THE TABLE BUT THAT DOG LIKES IT MORE THAN WE DO.
>> YEAH.
>> LOOK HOW EXCITED SHE IS.
>> SHE IS EXCITED.
I BELIEVE SHE IS ON THE RIGHT.
LET IT ELLIE MAY TELL US WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
>> SEE RIGHT THERE WITH THE FORK, IT'S SITTING RIGHT THERE.
GREAT SQUIRREL.
SHE IS LOOKING RIGHT AT IT.
>> HERE COMES THE RIFLE AND I'LL HANDLE THE DOG.
PRETTY GOOD SHOT RIGHT HERE.
>> GO HEAD.
GOOD JOB ELLIE.
GOOD DOG.
GOOD DOG.
NICE SHOOTING, CHAD.
>> THANK YOU.
>> I'LL TELL YOU ONE THING, YOU'VE GOT A SQUIRREL KILLING COMBINATION WITH THAT 1022 AND ELLIE MAY.
>> DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.
YOU TURN THE DOGS LOOSE, VERY SOCIAL.
WE CAN SIT HERE AND TALK AND CARRY ON AND TALK ABOUT OUR DEER SEASON AND LO AND BEHOLD,.
>> WE TALK ABOUT BEAR HUNTING AND ELK HUNTING AND DIRECTLY YOU HEAR A BARK.
>> WE HUNTED EVERYTHING IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY AND GOT THREE SQUIRREL.
THAT'S PRETTY GOOD.
>> LORDY, GOOD JOB.
WHERE DID THIS ORIGINATE USING FEIST DOGS.
>> GEORGE WASHINGTON IN HIS MEMOIRS HE TALKED ABOUT A FEIST DOG.
THAT'S WHAT THEY USED TO CALL THEM, IT HAS BEEN THAT FAR BACK.
BUT A LOT OF YOUR POORER PEOPLE, YOUR EARLY SETTLERS IN THE MOUNTAINS AND STUFF, YOU KNOW, THEY COULD HAVE ONE DOG FOR EVERYTHING, SO IT'S PRETTY MUCH AN ALL AROUND DOG THAT FEIST DOG WAS EASIER TO FEED AND CARE FOR.
SOME FAMILIES THAT COULDN'T AFFORD THE BIGGER DOGS TOOK THE SMALLER DOGS AND ADAPTED INTO ALL AROUND THE HUNTING DOGS, YOU KNOW, AND NOW THEY'RE SPECIFICALLY SQUIRREL DOGS.
>> THAT'S INTERESTING.
THERE IS ALWAYS A GOOD STORY LINE BEHIND THIS AND THIS ENTIRE BREED OF DOGS, BECAUSE THEY'RE CHEAPER TO FEED AND CAN BE TRAINED TO TREE MULTIPLE SPECIES, CAME OUT OF THE MOUNTAINS BECAUSE PEOPLE THERE JUST DIDN'T HAVE MUCH.
SOME OF YOUR FIRST SETTLER, SOME OF MY PEOPLE WERE SOME OF THE FIRST SETTLERS IN SOUTHEAST KENTUCKY CAME IN THROUGH CUMBERLAND GAP THAT WAY THROUGH KENTUCKY.
MY DADDY ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT THE OLD FEIST TALKS WHEN HE WAS A DOG DOWN THERE, GETTING SNAKE BIT, TREEING OPOSSUMS AND COONS AT NIGHT AND SQUIRREL DURING THE DAY.
I GROWED UP HINTING WITH HIM AND THAT'S WHAT MADE ME LOVE THE TREE DOGS.
I RABBIT UBT AND STUFF AND GOT THEM RABBIT DOGS AND ALL, JUST, THEY JUST SOMETHING ABOUT A TREE DOG, BEING ABLE TO GO TO IT.
IT'S SO MUCH DIFFERENT.
>> AND YOUR DAD LOVED IT AND I'M SURE IT BRINGS YOU BACK TO YOUR CHILDHOOD.
>> ABSOLUTELY.
I THINK SHE IS FIXING TO TREE.
SHE'S READY TO.
-- SHE'S REED.
-- SHE'S TREED.
>> SOUNDS LIKE THE BEGINNING OF A SONG.
>> TALK TO HIM GIRL, GOOD GIRL!
>> I SEE IT GOING UP THE TREE.
UP THERE AT THE TOP NOW.
>> I CAN JUST BARELY SEE A LITTLE PIECE OF HAIR THERE.
HOW'S THAT?
GOOD GIRL!
GOOD GIRL ELLIE!
GOOD GIRL!
I JUST SHOT AT WHAT I COULD SEE.
LOOK HOWE HOW RED THAT SQUIRREL IS DOWN ITS BACK FOR A GRAY.
>> SHE WAS SURE ON IT WAS ON THAT TREE.
I WAS IN THE GOING TO DOUBT THAT DOG.
THERE IS PROBABLY ONE OVER THERE, TOO.
>> SEE IT RIGHT THERE?
RIGHT THERE!
SEE IT!
>> OH YEAH, SURE DO.
THAT DOG WAS ON THAT TREE AND WE SPOOKED THIS ONE OUT WALKING TO IT AND SURE ENOUGH, AGAIN THAT'S A FOX SQUIRREL SO WE'VE GOT A GRAY AND FOX SITTING HERE SIDE BY SIDE.
>> IT IS A FOX SQUIRREL!
I INTO YOU SHE HAD A SQUIRREL THERE.
A LOT OF TIMES IT HAPPENS LIKE THAT GET READY COMING DOWN THE TREE.
HERE, HERE, HERE.
HERE ELLIE.
HERE!
>> COMING DOWN.
THERE YOU GO!
>> GET 'EM GIRL, GOOD JOB ELLIE.
GOOD JOB!
>> FANTASTIC.
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT!
THAT IS AWESOME.
WHEN YOU SIT THERE AND WE WALK IN AND WE SEE A SQUIRREL AND WE THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE IS BARKING AT RIGHT THERE AND I SAID YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THAT DOG, SHE BITES ON MY COAT AND EVERYTHING.
LOOK AT HER.
OH GOD, I LOVE THAT ENTHUSIASM.
GOOD GIRL!
>> WE'VE GOT OAK, TIGHT BARK HICKORIES, NUT TREES, SHAG BARKS, SCALY BARK, RED OAK, WHITE OAK, PLENTY OF BIG TIMBER AND THESE LOCUSTS.
THAT'S PRETTY MUCH THEIR HOMES IN THERE BESIDE THE NESTS.
>> WOODPECKERS OPEN IT UP AND SAY HERE, LIVE HERE.
>> ALL RIGHT, GIRL, GO GET 'EM.
GO GET THE SQUIRREL.
>> SHE ALWAYS TAKES OFF.
WHEN YOU LET HER GO, SHE GOES RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU.
ALL YOU GOT TO DO-- IT'S LIKE YOU ARE STEERING HERE RIGHT THIS WAY LIKE A GOOD LAB DOG OR RIVER DOG.
(BARKING).
>> SHE'S ALREADY TREED UP AGAIN.
STRAIGHT OUT.
>> I SEE IT.
IT'S A FOX SQUIRREL AND IT AIN'T VERY HIGH.
HERE, CHAD, BUST THAT FOX SQUIRREL RIGHT IN THE HEAD.
THROUGH THE CEDAR.
GOOD SHOT.

GOOD MAN.
>> I THINK THAT'S NUMBER 10.
>> GOOD GIRL.
GOOD GIRL ELLIE.
>> YOU KNOW, STEVE, YOU LIKE TO SHOOT THE FOX SQUIRREL SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARRY THEM ALL BACK.
>> THAT'S GOOD THINKING.
>> LOOK WHAT CHAD SHOT OUT TO YOU, BUDDY I'LL TELL YOU WHAT, I CAN WATCH THAT DOG WORK SQUIRREL EVERY SINGLE DAY.

(WHISPERING YES) >> GOOD JOB, BUDDY.
GOOD JOB.
GET UP THERE.
WOW.
SHE'S HEAVY.
HOLY COW.
THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR THAT MANY KENTUCKY HUNTERS HIT THE WOODS, HOPEFULLY NO ONE ENCOUNTERS ANY WILD PIGS BUT IF THEY DO, LET'S TALK TO THE DEPARTMENT FISH AND WILDLIFE BIOLOGISTS AND FIND OUT HOW TO HANDLE IT.
SO WE ARE OUT HERE IN HENRY COUNTY AGAIN PRETTY CLOSE TO A LOCATION WHERE YOU TRAP PIGS A FEW YEARS AGO AND SHOWED US SOME OF YOUR ERADICATION EFFORTS.
GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON HOW THE PIGS ARE DOING IN THE STATE OF KENTUCKY.
>> WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF SUCCESS IN KENTUCKY.
PIGS ARE AT THE LOWEST NUMBERS THEY HAVE BEEN IN THE LAST DECADE.
WE HAVE AN AGGRESSIVE ERADICATION CAMPAIGN IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WILDLIFE SERVICES.
>> DO HAVE A TRAPPING EFFORT, YOU HAVE TO GET THE PHONE CALLS AND THEY'RE NOT COMING FROM THE PEOPLE THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT IT TO BE.
THESE ARE HUNTERS AND LAND OWNERS SAYING HAVING PIGS ON MY PROPERTY IS NO GOOD.
SO MARK, WILD PIGS AND CORN GROWING DO NOT GO HAND IN HAND.
>> A LOT OF DAMAGE REALLY QUICK.
>> TELL ME WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH WILD PIGS IN HENRY COUNTY.
>> WE HAD A PROBLEM DOWN THE RIVER.
THEY STARTED COMING IN.
DIDN'T REALLY KNOW AT FIRST WHAT IT WAS AND THEN I GOT TO GET WORSE AND WORSE.
>> YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT LITERAL WHETHER I KNOCKING THE STALKS DOWN.
>> KNOCKING THE STALKS DOWN AND IT LOOKS LIKE A BUSH HOG CAME IN.
THEY WERE GETTING A HALF ACRE A NIGHT, JUST ONE GROUP.
THEY WERE JUST CLEANING THE FIELDS.
>> THEY REALLY MESS UP HUNTING OPPORTUNITIES AS WELL.
WILD PIGS DISPLACE OUR NATIVE WILDLIFE SPECIES.
THEY DISPLACE DEER AND TURKEY.
THEY OUTCOMPETE THEM FOR FOOD SOURCES, ESPECIALLY ACORNS.
YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING TO HUNT NEAR A WHITE OAK TREE AND HAVE A SUCCESSFUL HUNT AND THEN ALL YOU SEE ARE PIGS.
>> FOR A CORN PRODUCER, DID YOU HAVE PIECE OF PROPERTY THAT WERE TOTAL LOSSES OR YOU SAID I'M NOT GOING TO RAISE CORN ANYMORE?
>> WE DIDN'T HAVE TOTAL LOSSES BUT IT WAS STARTING TO GET TO THAT POINT AND THAT'S WHEN WE CONTACTED THE FISH AND WILDLIFE TO COME IN.
>> WE'LL DO A LAND OWNER VISIT, LOOK FOR DAMAGE AND SET CAMERAS AND BAIT UP IN THE AREAS WHERE THEY'RE SIGNED AND MONITOR THE SITUATION.
AND IF WE CAN GET PIGS ON BAIT, WE'LL SET A TRAP.
WE USED HAVE TO TRAPS THAT HAD TRIP WIRES AND ROOTING STICKS AND THEY WOULD CATCH MAYBE HALF OF THE GROUP OF PIGS.
PIGS LIVE IN SOUNDERS SO WHAT WE'LL DO IS TRY TO CATCH THAT ENTIRE SOUNDER.
>> WE ARE NOT REALLY EXACCOUNT A GENERALLY HIVE EXACTLY SURE HOW PIGS GOT ON THE LANDSCAPE.
THEY'RE NOT EASY TO HUNT.
IF YOU SHOOT A COUPLE OF PIGS THEY GET SMART FAST.
>> THAT'S WAS I WAS TOLD.
I WAS TOLD BY FISH AND WILDLIFE, DON'T SHOOT THEM, DON'T SANCTUARY CITY THEM.
LET THEM COME IN AND CATCH THEM IN THE TRAPS.
>> YOU JUST SAID THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, DON'T SHOOT.
CALL BECAUSE YOU REALLY WANT TO GET A TRAP OUT THAT YOU CAN REMOTELY TRIGGER AND THAT'S HOW WE'VE CAUGHT LAST GROUP OF PIGS WE HAVE ON THE LANDSCAPE IN HENRY COUNTY WERE CAUGHT USING A REMOTE TRAP AND THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT.
WE'VE COME HERE TND AND THIS HAS BEEN A HUGE SUCCESS FOR US.
WE'VE CAPTURE WHAT MAY BE ONE OF THE LAST REMAINING SOUNDER GROUPS IN HENRY COUNTY.
RIGHT NOW WE ARE GETTING READY TO TEST A BOAR FOR DISEASES.
WILD PIGS CARRY SWINE AND RABIES AND ARE NOT FOUND DOMESTIC IN THE STATE.
WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP THAT FROM HAPPENING.
WE ARE GOING TO TEST THE BLOOD FOR DISEASES.
>> HE IS GOING TO DO A HEART STICK TO DRAW BLOOD.
WE HAVE PPE AND GLASSES TO PROTECT OURSELVES FROM DISEASES.
>> I TYPICALLY TAKE FOUR VIALS OF BLOOD.
WE HAVE BEEN IN HENRY COUNTY NOW FOR FOUR OR FIVE YEARS AND IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A REALLY REWARDING EXPERIENCE HERE TO REALIZE WE'VE MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE FOR THE LAND OWNERS, PEOPLE WITH CROPS AND SOY BEANS AND CORN WHO WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE PIGS JUST DESTROYING THEIR PROPERTY.
>> SO, MIKE, YOU ARE A FARMER HERE IN HENRY COUNTY.
>> YES.
WHAT IS SOME OF THE WORST DAMAGE YOU'VE SEEN?
>> 2016 THEY WIPED PROBABLY 80% OF THE FIELD OUT OVER THERE OVERNIGHT.
SO IT WAS PROBABLY LIKE 15 PIGS IN THERE EATING.
>> YOU'VE ALSO SEEN DAMAGE TO SOME OF YOUR NEIGHBOR IN THEIR YARD.
THEY ROOT THE YARDS UP, TOO.
YOU'VE SEEN THAT AS WELL?
>> THEY TOOK A BIG STRIP IN THEIR YARD AND I MEAN JUST LIKE YOU PLOWED IT OR SOMETHING.
>> IT'S ESTIMATED THAT SWINE IN THE UNITED STATES WE EIGHTS ALMOST $2 BILLION WORTH OF DAMAGE TO CROPS AND PROPERTY.
>> THIS IS EXCITING THAT WE ARE THINKING WE HAVE THE LAST SOUNDER, THINKING WE HAVE ERADICATED THE LARGEST POPULATION OF PIGS IN KENTUCKY.
>> A LOT OF SLEEPLESS NIGHTS BUT THEN WELL WORTH THE EFFORT AND AGAIN REWARDING TO KNOW THAT WE ARE HELPING PEOPLE IN THE COUNTY.
SO WE ALSO DO DNA OR GENETIC SAMPLING ON THESE PIGS.
AND IT'S TO GET A DATABASE TO HOPEFULLY FIGURE OUT WHERE THESE PIGS ARE COMING FROM AND WHAT STRAIN OF PIG OR WHAT GENETICS THEY COME FROM.
THESE PIGS MAY COME FROM NORTH CAROLINA, THEY MAY COME FROM TENNESSEE AND WE ARE TAKING THESE SAMPLES TO KIND OF FIGURE THAT OUT.
THESE BOARS LIKE WE HAVE HERE, THEY TYPICALLY WILL ROAM FOR MILES.
THEY'RE HARD TO TRACK.
THE TRAPS HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING RID OF THE PIGS.
TRAP IS RESET.
>> SO THAT'S IT.
OUR TRAP IS SET.
TELL ME WHY YOU CHOSE THIS PARTICULAR LOCATION?
>> IF YOU CAN FIND A WALLOW, YOU CAN PUT OUT THE CORN AND FIND THE PIGS.
>> NOW THAT YOU GOT IT SET, YOU ARE BACK OUT OF HERE AND WILL YOU WATCH THIS THING FOR A FEW DAYS.
WHAT HAPPENS IF A COUPLE PIGS COME IN?
>> I HAVE A CAMERA IN THE TREE, MOTION SENSORRED, A PIG WILL GO INTO THE TRAP, MY CAMERA WILL SENSE THE PIG AND TAKE A PICTURE AND THAT PICTURE IS RELAYED TO MY PHONE.
SO CENTRAL I TEXT MY CAMERA TO DROP THE DOOR.
DROP THE GATE AND YOU KNOW YOU GOT WINCE THEY ARE IN THERE, THEY IF FINISH UP THE FEEDING AND BE HERE WHEN YOU GET HERE.
>> IT'S HIGH TECH AND THE WAY TO GO.
A TRUE SUCCESS STORY.
NOW LET'S CHECK IN AND SEE WHO ELSE HAS BEEN HAVING FUN IN THIS WEEKS ONES THAT DIDN'T GET AWAY.
