Little Boy Captures The Hearts Of Hunting Families Everywhere With Real Life Luke Combs “Huntin’ By Yourself” Moment
Who’s cutting onions?
There is nothing more heartfelt than seeing the bond between a father and a son. Last year, Luke Combs released his heartfelt record, Fathers & Sons, in honor of his sons and his role as a dad, which struck a deep chord with his fans. Although it might not have been his most commercially successful album, Combs’ “selfish endeavor” gifted fans with a collection of songs that evoke pure emotion, whether you are listening as a child or as a parent.
“It was probably more of a selfish endeavor for me. It was something that I felt like I wanted to do and something that I wanted to say. And it’s my favorite thing that I’ve done because it’s so personal to me. But commercially, it’s easily my least successful album that I’ve had.”
As you can see, Fathers & Sons is a “no regrets” type of album that Luke would have wanted to do at some point in his career. Now that he’s done it, the 35-year-old is setting his sights on the next big thing – as modern artists are often forced to do.
However, the songs are still resonating strongly with Combs’ fanbase, and some fans are bringing the lyrics to life. In a recent viral video, a little boy captured the hearts of TikTok users with his adorable first hunting trip, which, fittingly, was shared using “Huntin’ By Yourself.”
In the two days the video has been in the digital space, it’s racked up over 13 million views, 2.7 million likes, and thousands of comments.
The adorable footage shows a little boy and his mother helping pack up snacks for his dad on his hunting excursion. The little boy says somberly at the start of the video:
“I’m gonna miss daddy.”
As the little boy hands his father the bag of snacks and other goodies, his dad says he won’t be able to eat it all by himself. After hearing this, the little boy pauses and waits… a few moments later, his father asks him to join him on his first hunting trip.
The little boy’s face lights up with excitement as he exclaims:
“THANKS, DADDY!”
The little boy’s excitement is truly so heartwarming. You can tell that his father is thrilled with his reaction, too, and shouts that they are going to shoot a deer. The video then cuts to a few moments later, after some of the initial shock has worn off, and the young boy is filled with gratitude, thanking his father again before hugging his leg.
If that doesn’t pull at your heartstrings all while “Huntin’ By Yourself” is playing in the background… This moment truly brings the first lines of the song to life:
“He ran outta that bedroom ’bout as gung-hoAs he could be in his Mossy OakTook a first hunt picture on my phone‘Fore he fell asleep on the way”
Grab the tissues before watching this one.
@oliviaplekker I’m not crying… ok maybe I am #firsthunt #firsttimehunting #huntingbuddy ♬ Huntin’ By Yourself – Luke Combs
I mean, this screenshot from the video is worth a thousand words alone:
Naturally, the comment section was a wreck after watching this tender moment:
“You’re kidding.”
“Dad truth = He’s more excited about this moment than his son is. Soak it up, they grow up so quickly.”
“Dad’s been waiting for this day since he found out the gender.”
“Not to be dramatic or anything, but I would die for your kid.”
“His little eyes lighting up behind his glasses, his manners, the way he loves his daddy. It’s all perfect.”
“AWWWH HE WAS SO EXCITED HE’S SO ADORABLE LOVEEEEEEE THIS.”
“His little glasses.”
“He’s been practicing that. ‘We’re going hunting, boy!’ For years.”
Luke Combs’ Fathers & Sons will always be a stellar album for putting real-life moments like this into lyrics. It’s too sweet.
If you were wondering what his first hunting trip looked like, have no fear: his mother also documented it to share with fans. Although he and his dad did not see any deer, it sounds like he still had a blast coloring and hanging out with his dad.
