Jake Owen fans were a little concerned Tuesday when he posted a picture on Twitter of a nasty, bloody gash between the eyes he was sporting but no explanation beyond “you should see the other guy.”

Portland DJ Amy Faust got the scoop today. The “Eight Second Ride” singer told her that is was a hunting accident.

“We talked to Jake early this morning, and it turns out he was on a hunting trip with his twin bro,” Amy explains in her Country Tidbits’s Blog. “He was sighting a rifle when it recoiled and caught him right between the eyes. He knew it was a real bleeder when he saw the looks in his friends’ eyes. So he’s out in the middle of nowhere with a huge gash on his face….”

Jake doesn’t want to ruin the hunting trip, so what’s he do? “He finds a tube of crazy glue and dumps the whole thing on the cut and then keeps going! He’s on the mend now, though I’m guessing that’ll leave a scar,” Amy reports.

Or, as Jake tweeted to his fans, “I put some super glue on it and walked it off.” Ouch!

Jake talked to DJs Big D and Bubba about the accident. He says was filming a hunting show so we should get more pictures and details soon. Listen to the Big D and Bubba interview here.

The fans seem to be looking forward to a tougher-looking Jake and tweeted their support: @stlcntrygirl “@jakeofficial glad your ok and chicks dig scars! Dont we ladies? ” Fans also offered up first-aid tips. Advised ER nurse @beca240: “@jakeofficial keep Vitamin E on it and see if you can tape it closed better.”

Jake tweeted another photo today, and the gash is still visible but the smile is what the fans really see.
