Justin Moore has a pretty busy touring schedule throughout the year, but the one time he makes sure he’s not working is the end of the year and the first month or so of the New Year. “I always aim to take off like right around Halloween and go through like the end of January. It usually turns into like, mid-November through mid-January. So we get a good couple of months off and that’s prime time hunting.”
While Justin does some random hunts during the season, there’s one hunt he never misses with his group of friends. “I go with a group of guys, we go somewhere different every year,” explains Justin, “and so I book that like, right after I get off of one trip we book another one. So what we do is, I have four buddies of mine that we’ve been going every year for a handful of years and each year somebody different picks. And so, like, last year I went to Texas. This year one of my buddies picked a place in Kansas.”
Justin always looks forward to hunting with his group of friends, but he says, “I’ve hunted Kansas before and big deer but it was the coldest I’ve ever been hunting. So I’m hoping that I’m in a blind and can bring my buddy heater because I love hunting but I don’t like to be cold.”
Perhaps while he’s trying to stay warm, Justin can write a third verse to his latest single, “Why We Drink” … cause we’re freezing our butts off in a hunting blind, that’s why we drink.
