Luke Bryan is known for being an avid hunter and is even one of the official "Buckmen" of Buck Commander. Founded by Willie Robertson of Duck Dynasty, Buck Commander is a YouTube channel that produces fishing and hunting content. Jason Aldean, a fellow Buckman, even talked about Bryan's love for the sport. He even described his reaction to making a kill as an "almost childlike reaction." Aldean said of his hunting buddy, "No matter how many times you've had big deer out in front of you, or you shot deer, he still has that same passion for it as he did when he was first getting started..."
Well, it seems like Matthew knows Bryan pretty well. He told Taste of Country, "I got Luke a Louis Vuitton hunting bag... is what we called it. It was just a Louis bag, and we told him, 'Hey, we got you a new hunting bag,' when we gave it to him."
He also shared, "We gave his team members some watch holders and stuff as well."
Who Is Chase Matthew?
Chase Matthew first gained traction in country music with the release of his song, "County Line," in 2021. However, he had been writing songs and singing covers long before that. At 15, he got started by releasing covers online and eventually gained popularity on TikTok. Ironically, he was pretty resistant to the idea at first, but now he has 1.2 million followers.
Even though Matthew now boasts nearly 4 million monthly listeners on Spotify, there was a time a few years back when he almost gave up on his dreams. As a teenager, Matthew auditioned for the Nashville School of the Arts and was actually rejected. His song "Born For This" is inspired by the encouragement he received from his father at the time, who told him not to give up on his dreams. He also has a tattoo with the same sentiment.
He shared his message with his fans in an interview. "With any dream, you have to keep going, you do have to keep pushing, and you have to know you're good enough. You have to believe in yourself before anybody else can. That's what I tell everybody every night, every show."
