STAIND Frontman Proud To Be A Hunter

December 3, 2009

According to The Pulse of Radio, STAIND frontman Aaron Lewis told AOL's Noisecreep on Wednesday (December 2) that he's not worried about People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) coming after him for his hunting activities, which will be chronicled on the Outdoor Channel next year. Lewis said, "Bring it on. I watched (the documentary) 'Food Inc.' and it strengthened my beliefs in harvesting and eating my own food. I have never killed anything that I did not eat. Even when I was a kid with a BB gun, being all irresponsible and shooting squirrels and robins, my dad made me eat it all. I've always believed if you kill something, you have to eat it, so you better make sure it tastes good."

Lewis has been a hunter as long as he's been a musician, if not longer, saying, "I hunt white-tailed deer. That is my favorite. I have also hunted turkeys and have done upland bird hunting, too, like pheasants and quail."

His hunting prowess will be on display in 2010 on the Outdoor Channel series "Dream Season Celebrity". The reality hunting show will pair celebrities like Lewis with everyday hunters in competing teams around the country. Lewis said, "It's not about who kills the most. It is a competition as to who makes the best TV show . . . So if I miss, everyone watching sees me miss. If I get a hit, people see it and so be it. But I don't miss."

Lewis's participation in the series will raise funds for the Catch-A-Dream Foundation, which grants once-in-a-lifetime hunting and fishing experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses.

STAIND recently completed a tour as openers for CREED. Lewis will begin his sixth annual solo acoustic tour on January 1, 2010 in Henderson, Las Vegas.
