Kristen Kelly on Touring With Brad Paisley

I’m often asked, “What was being on tour with Brad Paisley like?” I can honestly say that tour was really a lot of fun. Brad Paisley is such a gracious guy. He would take us to different places every weekend. For instance, he rented a movie theater and took us all to see the movie “The Incredibles.” He took us go-cart racing and bowling, and he threw a couple of parties that we all attended.

Kristen Kelly: On the Way to the Top of Country Music

I averaged 150-180 days on tour exclusively in Texas. At that time, I made the decision that music would be my career. I recorded a couple of albums and produced those albums independently in Texas, and I had a couple of singles on the Texas music charts. Texas has its own charts that the radio stations in Texas have helped to develop. Their charts are separate from and independent of the Billboard charts.

Want to attract more gamebirds this year?

Our modern day food plot planting practices are not very conducive to feeding quail, turkeys, etc; we plant every available open piece of ground for our deer and figure the birds will be fine. It doesn’t take a large area to feed a lot of birds and designating a third or a quarter acre section out of some of your deer plots for a strip or perimeter of WhistleBack will go a long way in

Kristen Kelly Tells about the Road She’s Traveled to Become a Country Artist

I grew up singing in Cottonwood Baptist church in Lorena, Texas, and singing at church camps. My granddad, Sterling Kelly, was a country singer/songwriter who sang throughout Texas. Even today one of his songs is on iTunes.

Parrey Cremeans Says California’s Loaded with Turkeys

Last fall we were scouting for turkeys and found a flock of jakes and hens that had 200 or more birds in the flock. In the high country of northeastern California, you can hunt Merriam’s. But in the areas where we hunt, the Rio Grande turkey is our dominant bird. In some of the higher elevations, we find some of our bigger birds that are crosses between the Rio Grande and the Merriam’s. Before spring

When Fighting Purrs Work

As I sat against a tree listening to the hens on the limb 60 yards away, I strained to hear that first gobble. I was hearing lots of tree talk from the hens, but so far I had not heard the gobbler music I was hoping for. It was opening day of the 2010 Georgia season, and I was hunting an eighty acre property bordered by the Etowah River in North Georgia. I had watched

Predator Hunting Plus Taking Black Bears with ProStaffer Parry Cremeans

Some of the private land that Just For Hunting outfitters has acquired has tons of acorn trees on the property. One of the problems on this property is black bears that come to these acorn flats, tear down the limbs on the acorn trees, eat the acorns and feed on Manzanita berries. Many of these properties are really wide open. So, we have a good chance of seeing and taking black bears during the season.

Taking Monster Elk in California with Parrey Cremeans

All the elk hunts in California are premium elk hunts. You have to draw a tag or buy a conservation tag, which can cost as much as $20,000.
