Country music star Riley Green sparked outrage after posing with a slain animal he killed less than 12 months after he was hospitalized for a hunting injury. 

The 37-year-old shared the images in a carousel on his Instagram account, captioning the post: 'That was a hell of a drag out… blessed to be back out here #weouthere #bowhunting #bigboy.'

In the first image, he was lying down in the shrubbery with the giant dead deer spread out in front of him.

Yep...Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio...All through the central north they have some VERY big Whitetails...

"Country music star Riley Green..."

Riley Green? I thought he played left field for the Detroit Tigers.

The rack isn’t all that big but the deer itself is a big deer.

[JBW1949]

Most every deer I taken, and I’ve taken quite few, were around 90 to 140 lbs dressed out.....

The SAVAGE! 😡😉

He should have declared himself an aspiring rapper and shot the deer with a Glock with a switch - and used a whole magazine.. oops, "clip", on the thing.

“Massive” = Old, dying soon. Herds are either managed by hunting or decimated by disease, take your pick, hunter haters.

Country people hunt, and most of us eat meat. Get used to it.

Riley Green? Never heard of her.

I guess being a “country music star” doesn’t have the reach that it once did.

So it would’ve been fine if he had killed a small or medium sized buck? 🤔

...financial agreement with the Buck’s widow. Their doe will be provided for.

The widow is the doe.

The offspring is a fawn.

[SaxxonWoods]

I know guys who will track a specific deer for years waiting for it and its rack to get bigger.

[Red Badger]

A 10 pointer!...................

[READINABLUESTATE]

Looks pretty big to me.

Any excuse works for hunter haters.

Ted Nugent posted a monster on Facebutt the other day.

For a mule deer? Seen and harvested bigger in the West.

[JBW1949]

You can’t eat antlers...

That’s what I taught my son when he began hunting at age 12...

[JBW1949]

That is a Whitetail...Not a Mule Deer...

[dfwgator]

Because you can’t grill it, until you kill it!
