Zach Top on Duck Hunting, Merle Haggard, and Working Cattle out in God's Country

Country music’s fastest rising traditional voice Zach Top joins God’s Country with The Brothers Hunt for one of the most requested episodes we’ve ever had.

The guys cover everything from duck hunting stories and branding cattle to Zach’s trip to The Masters with Peyton Manning and Duck Hodges, plus a hilarious round of Lyric or Lie where Zach proves he knows his 90s country.
