Riley Green Bags Massive Utah Bull Elk With Compound Bow, Filling His Freezer

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 4

Summary

  • Riley Green posted that his “freezer is full” after killing a large bull elk with a compound bow during a recent hunt in Utah.
  • The country singer called bowhunting elk one of his toughest challenges, and the photos showed him packing the animal’s meat out of the mountains after the kill.
  • That success stands out because Green has said archery elk hunts are hard to fit around a touring schedule, with short seasons and only a few days to locate and stalk elk.
  • Green is a longtime bowhunter and regular guest host on “Major League Bowhunter,” where a previous Montana elk hunt documented how difficult the pursuit can be.
  • Utah has also produced another country-music elk story lately: Luke Combs recently tagged a bull there too, but switched from a bow to a rifle before closing the hunt.
