Country Music Star Kills Monster Buck, Shares Incredible Photos

Country music star Koe Wetzel started 2025 with a bang.

OutKick Outdoors (bookmark this page and check it regularly for the best outdoor content on the internet) has turned into an unstoppable force, and it's been a ton of fun watching it grow. The readers have played a huge role in its success and will continue to. We're just getting started.

Below are a few of my personal favorite hunting pieces:

Country music star Koe Wetzel bags a nice buck.

There are plenty of great ways to start a new year. You can do it by crushing a few beers with the boys, getting a jump start on work…..or you can do what the rising country star did to ring in 2025:

Tag and bag a beautiful buck.

The "High Road" singer shared an Instagram post this week that featured a gorgeous buck he shot down in Texas.

"2025 is off to a great start! Happy New Year yall," Wetzel wrote on the post. It's certainly off to a great start. There's no doubt about that. Check out the photos below, and let me know your thoughts at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.

What a hunting run we're on, and it never gets old. Whether it's a regular person, my dad or a country music star, it's always great to see hunting content.

His fans also loved it, and commented on the post with the following:

  • That’ll do!! Congrats man! Awesome buck.
  • Congratulations to ya Koe on your successful adventure and incredible buck respect
  • YESSSSIR
  • That hat has seen some things
  • Tank hell yea
  • HAMMER
  • IF ITS BROWN ITS DOWN
  • Look at that rack!! Congrats!
  • Hot damn!

It's going to look great mounted on a wall. It has mancave written all over it. Hang it right near the TV or over the mini-fridge and call it a day.

Now, is it the best buck we've seen the past few months? No, but it's still a real beauty.
