Country music star and Des Moines' number 2 most streamed Spotify artist of 2023, Morgan Wallen, went hunting for the first time in Iowa before snow covered the state.
Iowa is definitely a fan of Wallen and his music, but now, is he a fan of Iowa? According to Drury Outdoors, an outdoor and sporting goods company, it's more than likely.
Wallen shot his first animal in Iowa and his largest white-tailed deer to date, a Jan. 8 Facebook post from Drury Outdoors said.
"It’s exciting to see his love for the outdoors, conservation, and hunting as a whole," the post said.
Wallen, a Tennessee native, thanked the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for letting "some Tennessee boys in your state," Wallen said in a response to the Facebook post.
