Image Courtesy Valory Music Co.Justin Moore had a great 2014 with his ACM New Artist of the Year win in April and the arrival of his new baby, Rebecca Klein, in July. Justin wasn't so lucky when it came to catching big game on his hunting trips to Colorado and Wisconsin this year.

He says, "I've struck out so far this year, which is a rarity."

Justin is quick to blame his elk hunting fail in Colorado on the weather, though.

"It went from 30 degrees to 70 degrees in a day," Justin explains, "and that's not conducive to seeing a lot of elk."

Another deer hunting trip to Buffalo County, Wisconsin was a bust, too.

Says Justin, "I don't know if I wasn't quiet enough or what. I didn't have any luck there either. So, I've got my work cut out for me."

Justin is off the road spending the holidays with his family in Arkansas. He'll head out with Miranda Lambert on the Certified Platinum tour starting January 15, 2015 in Evansville, Indiana.

Image Courtesy BBR Music GroupRandy Houser has hit the top 10 with his latest hit, "Like a Cowboy," which shows off his very impressive vocal range. The song is the most traditional-leaning track Randy has released in years, and he's glad to see "Like a Cowboy" become a hit at country radio following his big hits "How Country Feels," "Goodnight Kiss" and "Runnin' Outta Moonlight."

"It's one of those songs we really believed in from the start, but thought, 'We better get some hits under our belt before we try this,'" Randy tells ABC News Radio. "It was sort of a -- not really a longshot, because we believed in it, but I'm just so thankful that all of my friends out in the radio and all the fans have stepped up to bat for it."

Randy adds that he couldn't be more pleased with the success of "Like a Cowboy," but he's already thinking about the follow up to his latest album, How Country Feels.

Randy says of "Like a Cowboy," "This song is the last single off of our current album."

Randy will hit the road with Luke Bryan starting February 10, 2015 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
