Episode 7 • Dec 12, 2014
Quail
Erick and the Uncharted Crew learn about saving and sustaining native wildlife and how different groups of volunteers are working to revitalize Tennessee's quail population. On a trip to Kyker Bottoms Wildlife Refuge outside Maryville, members of the Smoky Mountain Chapter of Quail Forever teach Erick how the Chapter works closely with Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA) to create and sustain appropriate habitat for quail. Quail Forever provides equipment, manpower, and resources to assist TWRA in re-establishing native habitats and maintaining them going forward. Erick visits another TWRA partnership, the Knox County CAC AmeriCorps Conservation Corps, who use volunteer labor to manage and maintain habitat at the refuge on a daily basis. Not only did assisting the AmeriCorps members to provide a look at what work is necessary to maintain pristine parks and wildlife populations, but it provided insight into what motivates these inspiring youth to give back. Erick wraps up the episode by meeting up with master bird-dog trainer Ed Ford at Thunder King Kennels. Ed specializes in training bird dogs and competes nationwide in field trials. In his conversation with Ed, Erick gets a closer look at the finer points of hunting, namely the opportunity it provides to connect with nature, your fellow man, and the hunting dogs involved in the task. There is a beautiful camaraderie between hunter and dog and a relationship Erick got to appreciate firsthand. Overall, this episode brings attention to the incredible plight facing the Bobwhite Quail, as well as the important history of the sport of quail hunting in the area. Erick learns firsthand that conservation is a job that will never be complete and often involves difficult, but rewarding work.

The Inspirational Outdoors
Tennessee Uncharted will inspire you to just keep climbing no matter what life may send your way. The crew begins at Enterprise South Nature Park, a wildlife refuge managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency that was formerly part of the Volunteer Army Ammunition Plant, to help the TWRA and Tennessee Valley Safari Club International set up for a special event - a Hunt for Warriors. Hunt for Warriors' pairs hunters with American servicemen and women, many of whom are recovering from injuries. Erick and his band mate (and veteran) Donnie Reis get to hang out with these heroes on a hunt and learn why this event is important to both sportsmen and supporters of American troops. Feeling inspired, Erick and Donnie take on challenges at a new height when they decide to partake in a popular local hobby - hang gliding. And after a few dry runs, they take turns running off a 2,500-foot peak like pros. The inspiration just keeps coming as the crew travels to Charleston, Tenn., to catch up with Tennessee-native, Mike Crittendon. Mike shares the story of how his life drastically changed 16 years ago when an accident left him a without the use of his legs. The crew learns how he has overcome his physical challenges to enjoy the outdoors in a different way today. This is a true story of a true sportsman. Having spent so much time with inspirational people who have given so selflessly, Erick wanted to leave Chattanooga with what he has to offer - a musical performance on the stage at Rhythm and Brews. Overall the episode seeks to inspire folks to never give up and to always find a means of overcoming.
