Tennessee WildCast

If you love the outdoors, then Humphreys County is a great place to spend a day, a weekend, or even a week or two. Kentucky Lake, the Duck River, and the Buffalo River are ALL in Humphreys County. With all these great oppertunities so close together we decided to talk Boating Safety today with Boating Education Coordinator Betsy Woods and also hear from this week’s show partner on the oppertunites to enjoy the great outdoors at Loretta Lynn’s Ranch. Thanks to Humpreys County for becoming a TWRA Outdoors Partner.

If you love to fish, then Humphreys County is a great place to spend a day, a weekend, or even a week or two. Kentucky Lake, the Duck River, and the Buffalo River are ALL in Humphreys County. Learn more about opportunties in this special county, and a really neat bass tournament sponsored by our guest David Daniel owner of First Stop Outdoors. We talk a lot about bass in this show, but we also touch on crappie. We are also joined by TWRA’s Don Hosse to discuss yet another jewel in Humphreys County—Buffalo River Refuge.

Deer season is winding down and duck season has a few good weeks ahead, but now is a good time to be thinking about a new boat and the coming spring. The new year is upon us, and we are excited about 2018. #tnwildlife www.tnwildlife.org
