Riley Green is back at it again. He stuck another absolute unit of a buck with his bow and arrow down in Louisiana. This time of year, if Green’s not picking guitar strings, he’s pulling back a bowstring and letting arrows fly at big bucks like this. For the second time in two weeks, he has

Say what you want about Luke Bryan’s music, he seems to be a pretty good dude. A small town Tennessee woman found that out first hand when she blew a tire rounding a curve in small town Tennessee. She wasn’t sure what to do next, but thankfully, a stranger stopped to lend a helping hand.
