The Outdoorsman with Buck McNeely, a nationally syndicated outdoor show airing on some 500-plus stations nationwide and also with international distribution, will feature the local Paris and Kentucky Lake area plus professional guide Steve McCadams when it airs this week. The show can be seen in this region on WPSD-TV out of Paducah, KY on Sunday nights airing at 10:30 p.m. just after the local newscast.
McCadams conducts a daily outdoors program which airs on our radio stations and has been a guide in the local area for many years.
McNeely’s show travels the world and has a wide variety of outdoor destinations and subjects. One week it takes viewers to places like Panama for sport fishing then bounces the next week to far away locations such as Zimbabwe for cape buffalo then on to Nicaragua for wing shooting, followed by a wrestling match with alligators in the bayous.
This week McNeely’s show drops anchor at Kentucky Lake where he returns to join his old friend professional guide and outdoor writer Steve McCadams. The show will feature some of the area’s amenities—from the Eiffel Tower in Paris to glimpses of the World’s Biggest Fish Fry—while the two test the waters of the famous reservoir catching a few crappie.
“We’ve been trying to link back up for the last few years and do another show but our schedules and other hurdles got in the way,” said McNeely from his Cape Girardeau, MO based office. “We worked together decades ago on a show and I’m glad to be back in the boat with my old friend who’s now a member of the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame in Hayward, WS and Tennessee based Legends of the Outdoors Hall of Fame.”
McNeely started his filming career while still attending Southeast Missouri State University. What began as a school project developed into a lifelong endeavor that has taken him from a small classroom to foreign countries. His hobby and school project grew—a tribute to his hard work, longevity and marketing skills—into a full time occupation that has withstood the test of time in a very challenging and competitive business.
His show has earned multiple awards for high definition production and is billed as the largest syndicated outdoor adventure series in the world! His company—Timberwolf Productions—has expanded and before he finishes shooting a show in one location he’s looking ahead at other possibilities in other corners of the world.
The two hope to join up again next year and tape another show here on Kentucky Lake, in pursuit of more crappie of course!
