Hook & Barrel Goes Hunting

"The Hook: Lights Out” consists of four adventure-filled episodes, each designed to entertain viewers while showcasing the process and products involved in the sport, as well as featuring the unique blend of hunting and music that Hook & Barrel Magazine is known for.

The bands included in the series are Whisky Meyers, Heartwreckers, Southall, The Weathered Souls, Caleb Lee Hutchinson, and Clayton Anderson.

“At Hook & Barrel we like to do the unexpected and decided to shake things up a bit,” said John J. Radzwilla, Hook & Barrel’s Co-Founder, Editor-in-Chief, and CEO.

“Most of today’s hunting videos go something like this: There’s an animal, a lot of whispering, dramatic zoom-ins, the animal disappears for half of the show, and then there is a final spotting followed by high-fives and trophy photos. Roll the credits. Nothing changes.

"Our team collaborated with friends at various record labels in Nashville (and sometimes even with the artists directly) to create something uniquely Hook & Barrel. This is an experience even non-hunters can enjoy - fresh music, fun facts, humor, continuous action, and zero ego!”
