Country singer Kristy Lee Cook, who gained fame singing Lee Greenwood's God Bless the USA during the seventh season of American Idol, is the star of Goin' Country, which debuted this weekend on Versus network.
The show follows Kristy as she travels throughout the country hunting such fare as deer, pheasants, and turkeys. Along the way, she also works at landing a recording contract
"I’m hoping that people will see the hunts as a chance to hang with family and friends and share an experience. It’s so much fun in the outdoors, and when you harvest something for the meat, it really means much more than just going out to the grocery store and buying it," Cook told Fox News blog Fox411.
"I never used to like killing animals until I got out and experienced it. It’s the food chain. Animals are here for us to eat. In my family, we grew up without a lot of money, so I take all this meat home and anything that’s left we give to homeless shelters or orphanages so all the meat is going somewhere and I get to feed all these people."The next episode of Goin' Country debuts Sunday at 9:00 AM ET.
