Rice, who played college football at the University of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideopenspaces.com\/north-carolina-man-has-part-of-thumb-amputated-after-making-simple-avoidable-mistake-at-beach\/\">North Carolina,<\/a> first found the public spotlight after his stint on the popular television series, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wideopenspaces.com\/survivor-announced-its-seasons-46-winner-and-fans-are-angry\/\">&#8220;Survivor.&#8221;<\/a> After his runner-up performance on Survivor, Race eventually moved to Nashville, and tried his hand at writing songs. Funny enough, he was a co-writer on Florida Georgia Line&#8217;s iconic &#8220;Cruise.&#8221; The song would eventually become an anthem of sorts, of the entire &#8220;bro country&#8221; era.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, Rice has aged out of his &#8220;bro days.&#8221; In recent years, the now 39 year-old has shifted his sound away from bro-ish radio tracks, to a more acoustic-based style. The change is one Rice is proud of, but it has yet to produce the traditional mainstream success he enjoyed in his earlier years in the industry. As is such, Rice did not attend the CMA awards last Wednesday. Rather, he spent the November afternoon and evening hunting whitetail deer.<\/p>\n<p>And as fate would have it, Rice harvested a quality buck with his bow that very evening. On the artist&#8217;s X account, he shared a photo of himself and several other gentlemen, posed behind the deceased deer. The caption was straightforward enough, while also a skiff clever. Rice wrote &#8220;And the CMA award for &#8216;biggest buck of the night cause all the other country singers were frolicking around in Nashville&#8217; goes to&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"entry-ad\">\n<div class=\"entry-ad-content\">\n<div class=\"htlad-wos_inarticle1\" data-unit=\"wos_inarticle1\/article\">\n<div id=\"htlad-2\" class=\"htl-ad\" data-unit=\"wos_inarticle1\/article\" data-lazy-pixels=\"350\" data-sizes=\"0x0:1x1,300x250,320x100,320x50,300x50,fluid|768x0:1x1,728x90,300x250,fluid|1000x0:1x1,970x250,970x90,728x90,fluid,300x250\" data-prebid=\"0x0:wos_inarticle1-Smartphone|768x0:wos_inarticle1-Tablet|1000x0:wos_inarticle1-Desktop\" data-refresh=\"viewable\" data-refresh-secs=\"35\" data-refresh-max=\"100\" data-targeting=\"{&quot;refreshcount&quot;:[&quot;0&quot;],&quot;refresh&quot;:[&quot;true&quot;]}\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Country Musician Chase Rice Skips Out On CMA Awards And Kills A Whitetail Deer<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/ChaseRiceMusic\/status\/1859646231901073614?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1859646231901073614%7Ctwgr%5E641dc77fa49740e929430f13f7e349af9ff21f05%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F11%2F21%2Fchase-rice-buck-cma-awards%2F\">Rice&#8217;s X post<\/a> certainly gained plenty of attention, as it has garnered over 54 thousand views, and 1200-some likes.
