Life has imitated art on the set of the upcoming movie, 'Beer for My Horses,' and folks at PETA are not going to be happy. Rocker Ted Nugent has a small role in the film as hunting enthusiast (surprise) named 'Skunk.' His co-star, country musician Toby Keith, told reporters last week that Nugent stayed in character after a recent shoot, resulting in a shooting of a different sort.

"Ted has just shot a guy with a bow and arrow," explains Keith of the movie scene. "And he's leaving the set to go back to his trailer, and all of Hollywood is standing around and a cotton tail jumps up -- rabbit -- and crosses the set. POW! And he guts him a rabbit right in front of everybody."

The 'Beer for My Horses' script was written by Keith, who also has a hit duet with Willie Nelson of the same name. The movie is described as a "fun-loving road trip movie" and also stars Nelson, Tom Skerritt, Gina Gershon and Rodney Carrington. It's set to hit theaters August 8.
