 Kid Rock

Robert James Ritchie, aka Kid Rock, loves to hunt. So if a music legend, who’s also a millionaire, stays true to his Southern roots, that’s certainly a source of inspiration for many people. He especially loves to hunt deer.

Kid Rock actually got into hunting in his adult life, after another music star, Hank Williams, got him into this outdoor activity.

So Robert James Ritchie is the only hunter in his family, which proves that you don’t need to come from a hunting background to feel accepted in the hunting world.

 Avril Lavigne

Another music legend (for punk rock music this time) who’s also a hunter is Avril Lavigne. 

Contrary to Kid Rock, she comes from a hunting background. The musician grew up in Canada, and hunting was a big part of her free time, along with her family. It’s still one of her favorite pastimes today.

So hunting can also be a family tradition, and you can be a girl and hunt, as Avril has well proven. Some of her fans disapprove, but Avril Lavigne was always rebellious. It’s part of her unique style.

Hunting is a great way to exercise and release stress, and you don’t have to come from royal blood to experience this rush and relief.

We could mention a lot of names, but Prince Harry is a good example to represent this royal passion. He hunts all kinds of animals, and even had some controversial episodes, for example, when he shot a water buffalo in 2004.

Hunting is a great way to bond with your relatives or even with your friends, and you don’t have to be an NFL star to experience that.
