We canned a total of 21 jars of venison and since we could only cook 7 jars at a time, this took us hours to complete.

Country Singer Craig Morgan’s Most Unusual Turkey Hunt

Highlighting one turkey hunt is like my trying to choose my favorite song of all the songs I’ve sung over my lifetime. I’m so eaten-up with turkey hunting that a bad hunt is a good one for me. I’m super grateful for having the ability to earn a living as an entertainer. My recreation is hunting. If God made me choose between the two, I’d have to pick hunting.

County Singer Craig Morgan Enjoys Introducing Non-Hunters to the Outdoors

Don’t get me wrong, I really appreciate all the people in the outdoor media, but I also think bringing-in media people who don’t know what hunting is all about is very important too.
