KY Afield Outdoors: The Last Waterfowl Hunting of the Season By Lee McClellan Frankfort, KY - In Kentucky, the coldest weather of the year often coincides with the best waterfowl hunting. This should prove especially true this year with the unusually warm start to the waterfowl hunting season that opened Thanksgiving Day.

"We should have birds moving south now with the bitter cold and snow to the north of us." Hunters have an extra luxury this year of concentrating on ducks in January and geese in February as there are now two extra weeks to pursue geese. Duck season closes statewide on Jan. 29 while goose season doesn't close until Feb. 15.

Carol Perkins: How about a cooking show with real food? Carol sends a message to Cooks vs. Cons to get real. She adventurous, to the point she'll try casserole, she has a cooking contest show in mind real food - 'Steak, chicken, fish (the common ones we find in our grocery stores). So with that in mind, I have planned (in my mind) a show with competitors who go into a regular person's house, chooses five ingredients from a pantry and five from a refrigerator and are given an hour to cook a full meal with a dessert. That would be fun to watch. - Carol writes Next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: How can a cell phone disappear? By Carol Perkins If all else fails, I can entertain myself by watching cooking shows on TV. Among my favorites is Cooks vs. Cons. A panel of judges tastes various dishes, chooses winners, sends home a loser each week, and not until the elimination do they know if the participant is a cook or a con. Was he/she a professional or someone who cooked at home for his family? I know many skilled cooks who could compete with the pros when cooking "real" food, but I don't know one person who could turn some of the ingredients the contestants are given into eatable dishes.
