Hosted from Roosevelt Sate Park

Patrick and Janet try their hand at Roosevelt State Park's new 3-D Archery range. The range has 23 targets and it is set up for competitions. The range was established by the park and the Scott County Bow Hunters Association and it is open to the public. This is a great way to keep your bow hunting skills sharp during the off-season.

Bream a Monk Friends – Melvin, Wayne, and Ron

We go fishing for the last time with long-time field host, Wayne Monk. Melvin Tingle and Ron Walker are fishing for bream with Wayne and they take few minutes to discuss Wayne’s bout with cancer. Wayne could still pull in the bream faster than anyone. This was our last story with Wayne as he passed away in March of 2004.

Bump in the Night - Bat Research

We bring the mystery of bats out of the dark as researchers go mist netting at night over small watering holes to catch various species of bats. They apply radio-collars and leg bands to record data and to learn more about these scary but misunderstood creatures of the night. Large colonies in abandoned houses and underground cisterns are captured for study.

Aquarium Diver

Stephanie Hawes-Monistere from the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science feeds the fish and other aquarium creatures. It takes a little more effort than you might think because this is one huge tank. Stephanie feeds the aquatic creatures while scuba diving. There are more interested eyes than just the creatures in the tank. A group of children visiting the museum have come to watch.
