Country music star Sam Barber bags a monster elk on his recent Alaska hunting trip

Joey Jones slams Oregon hunting ban petition as 'worse' than 'suicidal empathy'

Fox News' Joey Jones weighs in on Oregon's controversial petition to ban hunting and fishing. Jones argues such policies are 'worse' than 'suicidal empathy' and a complete detachment from the realities of human interaction with nature. He highlights how active wildlife management, including hunting, supports thriving animal populations like deer and quail, benefiting the ecosystem and local economies, including ranchers.

Country music star Sam Barber bagged an incredible elk on a recent hunting trip.

Barber is one of the fastest rising talents in the country music world. The Missouri-born singer has released a pair of studio albums, and has several popular tracks.

His collaboration with Avery Anna – "Indigo" – currently has more than 445 million streams on Spotify, but he's far from just a singer.
