Country music artist Riley Green recently traded his microphone for a compound bow in the Utah mountains. The result was a successful hunt, as he bagged a significant bull elk. On Instagram, Green shared his excitement, noting, Freezer is full.
He expressed gratitude for the opportunity to challenge himself with bow hunting, highlighting the rewarding pursuit in the Utah wilderness.
Photos shared by Green reveal a massive, mature bull elk with an impressive set of antlers. Additionally, the images depict the daunting task of transporting all that meat back from the mountains.
For those familiar with Green beyond his musical career, this achievement is not surprising. He is an avid and committed hunter, particularly focused on bow hunting. He often appears as a guest host on the show Major League Bowhunter. The show has previously documented his adventures, such as a challenging elk hunt in Montana.
Balancing bow hunting with a busy touring schedule isn’t easy, according to Green. On a podcast episode of Bussin’ With The Boys, he spoke about the difficulties of fitting elk hunts into his hectic life. Despite tagging elk in successive years, his available hunting days were limited.
The success of this latest hunt in Utah is noteworthy. Bowhunting demands that hunters approach much closer to the animal, which can weigh several hundred pounds and traverse rugged terrain.
Interestingly, Green isn’t the only country music star enjoying a successful elk season. Fellow musician Luke Combs also recently completed a hunt in Utah. While Combs initially attempted bow hunting, he ultimately used a rifle during his outing, which coincided with his weight loss journey.
Riley Green, steadfast in his choice of the bow, managed to coordinate all elements for this impressive hunt.
