Country music’s dominant hunting season continues as Koe Wetzel bags a monster bull elk
Koe Wetzel has shared a photograph of himself with a large bull elk he harvested during a hunting trip, joining several country music stars who have hunted this autumn. The Texas-born singer posted the image on Instagram on Wednesday, with a compound bow across the animal and the caption “Oklahoma Breakdown”; it is unclear whether that refers to the hunt’s location or a song.
Wetzel, 34, has hunted since childhood and said in a June podcast appearance that he prioritises hunting from October to February. He got his first bow at eight and continues to practise archery, sometimes taking bows on tour. He has previously taken large elk, including one in New Mexico reportedly shot with a rifle from more than 540 yards, but his latest post gives no score or other details.
