There are a few grandfathered-in traditions in country music that still stand the test of time. One of those is that the headliner of a tour gets the opener a gift at the end of the tour as a “thank you” for joining the ride.
Seldom do the openers get a gift for the headliners though. Gavin Adcock switched things up and decided to get a gift for Morgan Wallen.
The Jaw-Dropping End of Tour Gift Gavin Adcock Got Morgan Wallen
On Instagram, Adcock explained that he ran into a dilemma when trying to pick out the perfect gift for Wallen: “I thought to myself, ‘What should I get somebody that can get anything in the world they want to buy themself?'”

Adcock then opens what looks to be a giant laundry hamper and pulls out a taxidermied creation made up out of several different creatures.
“I been calling this thing right here Rufus. It’s a buck a– mount made into a little critter, with some eagle’s claws, some turkey feet and some bullhorns on the top.”
Adcock flips it around to show that it has a hanger in the back for Wallen to put it on one of his walls, saying “I can’t wait to see what he thinks.”
Whether you’re a fan of Rufus or you think he’s nightmare fuel, it’s hard to deny that this is something that Wallen almost certainly wouldn’t think to buy for himself. It’s the perfect gift for the man who has the whole world at his fingertips.
