After 65 years, the late D.L. Hayes smallmouth world record still stands. This week we visit with Butch Skillern, a very skilled taxidermist and good friend of Mr. Hayes, to talk about the art of taxidermy and Hayes' famous catch. Only a few people know where D.L. caught this monster smallmouth and some question if it was in Tennessee or Kentucky. We will try to get Butch to spill the beans.

We join another Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commissioner, and her husband, for this week’s episode of Tennessee WildCast.  Commissioner Connie King and husband David, or ‘Dirt’ as most know him,  own Mid-South Shooting Supply in Clarksville Tennessee.  They have been in the shooting business a long while and now try to give back and pass on the tradition of hunting, fishing and shooting. When Connie isn’t working you will find her with a gun on her shoulder or a fishing rod in hand.  This couple is a lot of fun, and very straight shooters, so you don’t want to miss this episode.
