Riley Green has been spending the majority of his holiday season outdoors, doing what he loves so much: hunting. One recent hunting trip landed the country singer in the emergency room, and he shared the moment on his Insta Stories.

In the clip, Riley explains to the ER nurse, "I stepped on a nail, impaired my foot." He recalled, "When I took my boot off, corn fell all over the floor. The lady came in here wanting to know where all the corn came from."

He said, "You don’t want me to take this [shoe] other one off, either. This is real world problems."

Green’s friend, who's with him jokes, “This is terrible, I’m sorry buddy.” The nurse then tells him, “Oh, you can go right back [to] hunting."

In the next series of Insta posts, Riley is doing some hunting in the snow, he wrote over the video of himself in camo, "Something might be wrong with me at this point."

In the next slide, he showed his footsteps and walking in the snow. He wrote, "What sore foot?"

Green is looking forward to in the New Year is his "Damn Country Music Tour," which will kick off on March 27 in Abbotsford, BC, Canada, with Ella Langley, Jake Worthington and Erik Dylan. Other acts who will rotate as Riley’s openers on the tour with Ella include Drake White, Channing Wilson, Vincent Mason, Wyatt McCubbin, Lauren Watkins, Preston Cooper, and Mike Ryan. Riley is especially looking forward to being able to incorporate some of his new music into his setlist.

Riley told us in a recent interview, "'The Damn Country Music Tour' is my headline tour next year, and Ella’s going out with me, Drake White, Jake Worthington, a lot of artists I’m a big fan of, we’re gonna have out on the road."

He added, "And it’s just, for me, you know, puttin’ out a brand new record, Don’t Mind If I Do, it’s always great to be able to go and try those new songs in front of live crowds. So that’s what I’m missin’ right now, and lookin’ forward to goin’ and playing those shows and seeing which songs they sing the loudest."
