Which celebrities hunt?
Elk
Contributors to this thread:
Just curious if anyone knows of any celebrities (movie stars, athletes etc) that hunt. Of course there's 'The Nuge' and Carl Malone. Anybody else?
I know Gentry of the country music duo Montgomery Gentry bowhunts. I saw a huge black bear he killed just can't remember where?
Article in the paper last week, patriots kick Adam Vinetari is a hunter!
Others: Bo Jackson, Jack Nicklaus, Roger Clemens
There's lots of them
One of the guitarists for the Oak Ridge Boys is an avid archer. I know that Louis Mandrell is one hell of a trap shooter, but I don't know if she hunts too. I believe that Gerald McRaney and Jimmy Carter both turkey hunt. Charlton Heston is an obvious answer.
Tom Selleck, lead singer for Rascal Flats, Mark Brunell (Redskins), Patrick Ramsey (Redskins), Jimmy Buffet (Parrot Head), Dick Cheney. There are many that you do not hear about.
nascar's Ward Burton and Jeff Foxworthy has shot some pigs on Realtree videos. Also Elliot Sadler from Nascar fame was going to pheasant hunt So. Dak. this fall but a big ice storm changed his plans.
Gregg Ostertag, the 7 foot plus center for the Jazz loves to bowhunt.
Karl Malone is a huge rifle hunter.
Have a great bowhunt. BB
James Hetfield(metallica), Terry Labonte, Roger Clemens, George Strait are a few.
Senator/Seattle Seahawk Steve Largent
BTW-did you know Hoyt built Ostertag a bow with a 36" draw!!!!!!
Must have some special arrows to go with that 36' draw. Wonder what weight arrows and speed he gets.
Celebs: bear, BB, IowaPete, Deerman1, wyobow, etc. They all hunt
Sweetness (Walter Payton) was a bow hunter besides being the best football player of all time.
I heard Madonna likes to hunt (not just boy-toys) pheasants, in England, on her estate.
John Kerry
Okay, seriously, Ray Knight.
Jimmy Buffet??? One of the biggest supporters of ARs there is.
Baseball: Mike Timlin, Jeff Kent, Craig Biggio,
John Mabry, formerly of the St Louis Cardinals, now he's a dang Cubbie.

Eva Longordia grew up hunting in California
Bobby Knight for you college basketball fans
Terry Clark???? Hah I knew she was better than that S. Twain gal.
Yea, Who is calling Jimmy Buffet a hunter???
He Made one of that largest donations to the CUB act a few years back in Michigan. It was an ACT on th Ballot to outlaw Bear Hunting. PARROT HEADS ARE ANTI'S

Curt Russel. I'm not sure how you spell his name, but it's impressive considering he lives with Goldie Hawn.
I was just about to say Kurt Russell. He stopped by a local bar for a beer after hunting near Mead, Colorado. By all accounts he was just one of the guys and very pleasant to be around.
Believe it or not Shaquiel O'Neil hunts pretty regularly.
George Strait is a big elk hunter ... bow and rifle. I know some guys who've been in camp with him at White Mt Apache.
As mentioned, Bobby Knight (sometimes he even buys a license! :) ), Lee Horsley (TV's "Matt Houston"), Steve Bartkowski, Dickie Betts, Jameson Parker (McRaney's brother in "Simon and Simon"), Dale Earnhart.
A buddy of mine is in the movie business and said Kurt Russell is just an average guy and great to talk to, he is a bowhunter. Goldie is a vegetarian, but she is a regular person also and even helped Kurt track an elk he hit!
My hero and many of our most important hero and celebrity that hunts is!!!!!!!! Pat Lefemine..
Not defending him, don't know about his anti contributions but Buffet is(at least says he is) a big hunter. He had a special bow made for him ( i forgot what type it was, may have been a mathews) with his name on it from the company. My buddy owns a pro-shop and set it up for him, and showed me the bow.My buddy said he hunts all over the place.
Here's a pic of the Bear and myself before a bowhunt in '04.The most competitve person I've ever met.
Rockies first baseman, Todd Helton hunts a lot.
Sam Walton of WalMart was an enthusiastic bird hunter, now passed on.
Count in Jeff Nelson, MLB Pitcher, He goes alot. Shoot Straight.
Rascal Flatts lead singer Gary LaVox is a bowhunter, shot a pig of an Illinois whitetail on Realtree Outdoors a couple of years ago. Think it scored about 170...in January, no less.
Hockeyman
Butch Blankenau - huge celebrity - hard core hunter :):):)
Jimmy Houston and Brooks and Dunn,are avid hunters.....:)
John Elway hunts a bit. Bobby Knight is a big bird hunter. Mike Hampton, pitcher for the Braves, was elk hunting near me a couple of years ago.
C'mon you guys..............you forgot the one that stands in a field by himself....the NUGE!!
George Straight is a very avid hunter, he dosent bowhunt. On christmas eve this year he killed a 210" nontypical off of his ranch. Back in 1988 he killed the largest typical reported in south Texas. Hes taken a 430"+ elk and has been to Africa the past 4 years. Took two lions and plains game this year....
Alot of celebrites and big time CEO's and congress men come down to this area of the country all the time. Go to any of the small airports in south Texas during deer season and you run a good chance of running into a celebrity. The King Ranch is holding its annual celebrity quail hunt this weekend so theres going to be a few in town for the next few days....
I don't know for sure, but I read about Robert Redford in a mag. and he was asked if he had been in "some town out west" and he said that "he hunted mountain lion down there, didn't get anything but liked it". I thought he was a big tree hugger now. Even though he made the greatest movie of all time, Jerimiah Johnson.
"skin him out pilgrim, I'll bring ya another one" LOL

Tennesee Titans QB... Steve McNair and ex-RB Eddie George I believe are Bowhunters.
Ah, just for the record that was the other elkman that said the Nuge stands in a field by himself. I hardly think so. Ron

The Bush boys hunt, both GW and GH. Chuck Yeager hunts/fishes with GHB, in AK anyway.
I've seen the the 'nuge' 'hunting'. Not sure if I'd call it hunting exactly, but he's out there killing things with bow and firearm.
Craig Morgan, country singer "Backwoods Boy"... a great hunting song!
Captain Kirk (can't remember his real name)of Star Trek and Don Johnson of Miami Vice used to bowhunt, maybe they still do...
Probably 1/3 of the PGA tour players.
"The Bush boys hunt, both GW and GH"
Yeah....Right
You must have seen that SNL too!
Will Clark Fuzzy Zoellar Craig Stadler Rick Rhoden lots of other baseball players and golfers.
Jason Larue,and Josh Beckett
A friend of mine is a state trapper here in Utah. Many years ago they were having Yote problems on the back of Timpanogas (where BearClaw's cabin was) somewhat close to where Redford has a "summer home" and his ski resort.
Redford met up with him on his horse and said "There are no Coyotes around here." My friend invited him to hang out with him while he called in one and shot it. Redford said "Wow, can we get this on camera?" My friend respectfully declined.
As a teenager I worked for a fence company that put in a lot of fence by Sundance Ski resort. Redford was always around riding an orange Yamaha. He had long hair and a beard while he was filming Jerimiah Johnson. He was very kind to us. You know how to skin Griz?
the last time this came up I offered up captain Kirk and got skinned alive- apparently he's a big anti now.
Bill Clinton duck hunts! Well at least he did when he was pandering for votes in 96. Hillary should be taking up hunting and shooting any time now, what with the 2008 Presidential election looming.
Eddy Yost the brewers manager is a big whitetail hunter.
Nolan Ryan, MLB Hall of Famer, owns a large hunting ranch in Texas and is a former Commissioner of the Texas Parks & Wildlife Department.
I was with a buddy who shot a cow elk that ended up dying on Michael Douglas and Catharine Zeta Jones' front yard in Aspen. I guess they inadvertantly support hunting! T.K. McGraw Gunnison, Colorado.

Jeff Foxworthy owns a 2000 acre farm in Iowa. When I hunted in Kansas I saw him on a magazine cover with a 25 inch Spread monster.
Full time night woman? I packed me a squaw for 10 year pilgram, logpoled her on wolftail creek for a Hawken Gun. I loves the woman, but a womans breast is the hardest rock made by the allmighty, and I can find no sign on it.

Bud Grant, former MN Vikings head coach.
Todd Helton owns property on the South Platte river in colorado- saw his whitetail at my taxidermist from this year-NICE!! Mathews built a bow especially for Shaq its called the all star but its nic name is the baby shaq- we sold one to a guy at our shop the thing was almost as tall as i was
I did see Capt Kirk (William Shatner) doing a PETA ad recently concerning taking care of your pets. It was shortly after Katrina hit town.
Jim Kelly of Buffalo Bills fame. His coach at the time was Marv Levy who I believed sponsored an anti-hunting video for the schools. Kelly hunts with Merril Hodge who has a hunting lodge in eastern Idaho.
I've seen hunting shows featuring a former tight end for the Cowboys but his name escapes me. He was with the 'Boys during their heydays.

Aaron Tipon, Wesley Walls, Bubby Brister,

Larv...Jay Novacek. I forgot about him. He seems to have dropped off the face of the earth since "retirement".
Former Nebraska FB coach and now Congressman Tom Osborne. Osborne is leaving Congress and running for Governor in NE this year.
One of NE's two senators, Ben Nelson, is often one of the few Dems supporting our rights. He's a hunter as well.
Mark Burley (white sox)has a place in MO. Albert Pujols (cardinals) at least I know he has a bow I set it up for him. Will Clark, Jim Thome has a place in IL.
Gena Davis is a Liberal Democrat..she may target shoot but I'll bet she's anti-hunting as are 99.999999% of Liberal Dem's. Her new show is dropping in the ratings fast...Jeff
I saw an interview with the little blond country singer Miranda Lambert, she said she hunts deer and turkeys with her daddy.
There was a closer for the Braves that was a big time hunter. What was his name? He had a neclace with elk ivory, bear claws and sharks teeth. Anyone know? Was it Mark Wholars?
I think Tony Stewart hunts. From what I understand he has a fairly large property near Columbus, IN that he and his friends hunt on.
You guys are missing the obvious NASCAR drivers- all of them with "Team Realtree" sponsorships. D.E. Jr, Ryan Newman, and several others I can't think of....
NMuzzy I think you are thinking of John Rocker.lol

Great Thread!!!! An aquaintance of mine James Hetfield of Metallica. Bobby Knight hunts and fishes. Ozzy Ozbourne hunts bats, but uses extreme traditional methods to harvest his game..... he uses his dentures as weapons CHOMP!! S-H-A-R-O-N !!!!!
I was at a hotel in South Dakota that had pics of Kevin Costner, He and his Dad were there hunting pheasents. Also Scott Wimmer from NASCAR and singer Avril Lavinge. Well notsure of the spelling on the last one, seen an interview with her on MTV some anti asked her what she thought when a fawn nuzzeled up to its mother, her awnser was "lunch".
Jermaine Dye & Jarrod Washburn are big bowhunters
Buck Hunter - The Nascar boys are good shots. It's just that they have to wait if a deer passes their stand on the right side. Ya see, they can only turn to their left! hehe.

When I first got back from Vietnam, one of the first archery magazines I read had an article about Lee Majors, James Drury, and Doug McClure bowhunting for bear with recurves, successfully. I know Bruce Boxlightner (sp) likes to turkey hunt as does Jerry Mathers. Andy Williams is a bird hunter; likes German Shorthairs.
Former SF 49er coach GEORGE SEIFERT
Country singers Sammy Kershaw and Reba Mcintyre also the lead singer off the rock band Metallica is an avid hunter.
Josh Turner Country western star
Watched them in Nashville shooting 3-D celeberty shoot.Annual event, Tracy Burd, Andy Griggs(host)Kix Brooks, Arron Tippen, Gary LaVoux, Craig Mogan, Troy Gentry, Blake Shelton, Ty England, Linda Davis, alot of others.
Steelers great, Jack Lambert used to be a deputy game warden for the Pa. game Co.
Ted Deibiasse "The milliom dollar man".
Larv is more famous than I could ever hope to be- and besides the occasional game animal, he also shoots tires right out from under vehicles with his bow.
Dave Krieg, former QB of the Seahawks and Bears backup loves to hunt whitetail. Had a few beers with him after a hunt here in southeast WI when he was a back up for da Bears. Pretty cool guy.
I have ran into Sam elliot on a muly deer hunt. in Oregon
About 15 years ago I saw both Tom Seleck and Michael J Fox pheasant hunting near Wagner SD. About 2yrs ago a relative of mine guided Fuzzy Zoeller on a hunt in Wy.
Dale Earnhardt used to hunt here in eastern SD with a guy. He told the guy if he ever told anybody, he'd never come back. He came for quite a few years.
I beleive a few years back I saw a clip of Senator John Kerry out goose hunting. Sorry. Couldn't resist.
Bill Clinton loves all the big cats......
John Kruk former Phillie, Padre and white sox now with ESPN baseball tonight hunts. I should know he is my bother. We used to hunt his land in WV.
We had some major league baseball player in camp last fall. I have know idea who he was. Really doesn't matter. They are no better than anyone else.
WW, that's not the point people are making. Having well known people hunt, whether actors, ballplayers, musicians, etc puts hunting in a more public perspective. As long as they are ethical and safe hunters, it can only help to further our great cause.
Bill Clinton is a famous hunter of young birds (chicks) :)
Wow, this is a pretty old thread that has been brought out of retirement. Aaron Lewis (front man of Staind and sometimes country singer) bowhunts, and probably other hunting as well.
Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) is a serious bowhunter. Mostly lives on venison.
An outfitter in Canada told me that Garth Brooks did a Bear hunt in his area during the 90's. I hunted with a PH in South Africa that told me he had guided Mark Knopfler on a Warthog hunt.
Shaquille Oneil is a big hunter
Boy George hunts with those chicks from the band Poison, and those other chicks from Cinderella.
I only personally know two: Pat and Jake :-0

Bigswivie, Shaq is a damn big everything....ha
Joe Rogan is a big bowl Hunter and does a lot for bow hunting like having guys like Adam Greentree and Cameron Hanes on his podcast to talk about bow hunting. He's also been on Steve Renellas Meat Eater a few times and got Cam Hanes to start his podcast. He said that he really has a hate for factory farming practices and was about to go vegan when Steve Renellas took him out on a hunt and it changed everything for him. He's now a champion of spreading a wealth of knowledge about the good of killing what you eat.
Huey Lewis the rock-n-roll singer lives here in the Bitterroot and bow hunts, duck hunts and loves to fly fish. He has a small ranch on the Bitterroot river and has stands and ground blinds up for the deer. He's not super serious and seems to like the fly fishing more but he does get out.
Wensel brothers used to guide golfer Jack Nicklaus and country singer Gary Morris on the Milk river.
James Hetfield hunts therefor he is.

Former Minnesota Twin Dan Gladden who is now a Twins radio announcer always talks about sitting in a tree stand deer hunting.
StickFlicker beat me to it on Aaron Lewis. I posted a link to a video where he sings about it...
Someone mentioned Walter Payton. I saw him on a caribou hunt in Quebec in the late 80s. He had killed (archery) two big ones.
Wow....12 year old thread revived.

I know my PH in Africa had a great time guiding Mark Knopfler (Dire Strait"s guitarist extraordinaire). He loves to bowhunt.

Lead singer from Metallica has also taken up bow hunting.
Anybody mention Chipper Jones? Trump Jr too! Shawn
Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan along with Blake Shelton.
How about Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan! and home run hitter Jim Thome is a big whitetail hunter.
I don't know who any of these people are. Mark Kronyak is the only one I've heard of.
Chad Mendes and TJ Dillashaw. Both high ranked UFC fighters.
Jeff Dahmer is a Meateater fan..
Feedjake don’t forget about Matt Hughes and Brock Lesner as well.
Tom Brokaw and Michael Keaton both have large ranches (thousands of acres) south of Big Timber, Mt just north of the unlimited sheep zones and both are avid bird hunters and great guys.

Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer
Don’t forget Dick Cheney but he’s not a very good shot.
I've heard Eric Clapton hunts also.
Somebody mentioned Ned Yost, formerly of the (my!) Milwaukee Brewers, and present manager of the KC Royals. They were recently in Milwaukee, and the guys were taiking about Ned being in a bad fall accident setting up a stand on his ranch. His wife finally found him literally monments from dying. He's still not 100%.
Also, Boo Weekly and Steve Stricker of the PGA are huge hunters...Strick loves bowhunting.
Did anyone say the Trump brothers? Mostly Africa......
I bought a yellow lab from a guy here in Iowa about 1999 who dropped some names of people he’d hosted for pheasants. One was Norman Schwarzkopf. Another was Jerry Mathers. There’s gotta be a beaver hunting cock joke there

I wonder how long before Mark Zuckerberg is a hunter? I could definitely see it happening, if it isn't happening already. A friend of mine is in ranch sales and there are a lot of closet Silicon Valley hunters, per our conversations. A friend of my family has a brother who is an actor in movies and Broadway and hunts. He can't let it get out or he will be black-listed.
This whole organic, hormone-free movement actually helps us as hunters. You'd be surprised how many people are open to eating game versus store-bought. I've seen a major shift over the past 10 years.
Not sure if Carson Wentz was even born when this thread started.......
Heard he bought matching grade over under shotguns for his O line......
Joe Mauer bowhunts his land just north of th twin cities area.
I know Justin Morneau joins him occasionally.
Brett Favre is a big bowhunter. He still owns land in se MN.
How about former Vice President Dick Cheney quail hunting in Texas. Anybody remember what happen. That right he shot a Texas lawyer.
Goelk, and then the lawyer apologizes to Cheney!! When Cheney shoots you in the face, you say your sorry!! Ha!
I believe that at one time Morgan Freeman was a duck hunter. I know I have seen him do commercials for Ducks Unlimited. I also remember seeing an older photo of Steven Spielberg and Harrison Ford chatting on the trap field, both holding high end O/U shotguns.

Ricky Schroeder (Silver Spoons) used to have an outdoor show. Tim Wakefield and Mike Timlin ( red Sox pichers). The " coach" on The Goldburg's was on Meat Eaters with Joe Rogan.
I hunted with a former member of the Chiefs, still playing for someone else. According to him there were several on the team who bowhunted.
Mn I used to be a big fan of Tom Brokaw but these days he’s turned soft and sides more often than not with the libtards. Probably should have expected that since he was is a member of the fake media

Roger Waters hunts? I think he’s way to liberal to hunt I need proof.
Yeah, hard to imagine left wing whacko Roger Waters hunts....
Heard on TV when the Dolphins offer Jay Cutler a contact last year he was bear hunting in Idaho at the time...
Yep on Jay Cutler’s wife’s reality tv show he came in the kitchen with a cooler full of elk meat
Regarding the above, some don’t realize that there are thousands of democrats who hunt. Hunting and fishing definitely cross party lines.
I could care less,,, who gives a s...
Barry bonds bow hunts a ranch in CO. I have ran into him twice in town eating breakfast.
Ran into a guy guiding a tall fellow on the Kaibab in about the mid-90's. Happened to know the guide from when I'd drawn a Desert sheep tag in NV a few years before. At the Fraternity of the Desert Bighorn Banquet a couple of days before sheep season the guide had a few helpful pointers for me going in on a DIY bowhunt. Turns out the tall fellow was Patrick Swayze, the now deceased actor. I did not know who he was but everyone in town was talking about him being around a few days later. He was basically quiet as the guide and I discussed Kaibab deer hunting and NV Desert bighorns. He had the latest Hoyt compound....a Chuck Adams/Superslam edition as far as I remember.
Dustin Byfuglien. Go Jets.
Shaq now does sharks...8^)
Believe it or not Jane Fonda used to hunt when she was married to Ted Turner. She talked about it on Letterman one night.
Mentioning Jane Fonda should bring this thread to a quick finish.
Patrick Swayze tall? What are you 5'5"? He was about 5' 10"s tops. He was not a big guys maybe 160#s soaking wet! Shawn
That mlb reliever mentioned above was Turk Wendell not John Rocker. Turk used to wear a necklace of mtn. lion claws while he pitched. Matt Hughes hunts so does Chriss Pratt and John Mayer
Shawn...must have been the Hoyt that made Swayze look tall? Or maybe he was standing up hill, or his perfect camo outfit or dancing shoes?? He looked tall and thin to me. And for the record I still am 5'-10" same as you state Swayze was. But no man crush from me, I payed little attention to him.
Jerry West turkey hunts with a friend of mine almost every spring
