Luke Combs Misses Big Deer Shot, Says His Rifle Was ‘Off’
Luke Combs posted a rare personal moment on his Insta Stories today (1/4), sharing a video clip of himself and a friend deer hunting and sitting in a deer hunt stand.
In the video clip, dressed in full camo, a winter cap with a gun strapped over his shoulder, Luke whispers, “We are walking in here. It’s colder than a dirt floor in a nursing home out here, and Paw Paw is dragging his damn feet around and scaring all the deer off. We’re gonna do a shot.”
The clip shows Combs and his buddy (Paw Paw) in the deer stand. He says, “I’m warming up in here with my friend. I’m gonna be real honest with you; yesterday afternoon, an awesome deer walked out, probably a hundred and fifty-inch eight point. Your boy missed him. I was a hundred percent confident in the shot, but my rifle was off, and I missed. Not great, but sometimes you gotta learn the hard way, you know. We are out here this morning, and we’re after him.”
He concluded, “We’re enjoying it and having some coffee, and we will keep you posted. I feel like I’m invested heavily at this point in making content about this for some reason, even though I never make content on things, so we’ll keep you posted.”

Luke recently won a CMA for Single of the Year for “Fast Car.” Backstage at the show, I asked Luke if he ever thought he would win a CMA for a song he first heard in his dad’s truck as a kid and loved since he was little. He told me, “Definitely not. I definitely had no idea that would be going on. It’s insane, really, the journey. I remember sitting in my apartment, and I was teaching myself to play guitar at 21 years old, spending just days and days trying to teach myself how to play that lick, which we all know and is so iconic. I finally figured it out after about a month and a half or two months. I was so new at playing guitar, but I knew I wanted to play that song.”
Combs also shared backstage that he has yet to come face-to-face with Chapman. He said, “You know I haven’t met Tracy. We haven’t communicated outside of our official correspondence to each other. But that is something that I hope to do one day in the future.”
He concluded, “I think she was a trendsetting, barrier-breaking artist when she came out, and she continues to be that to this day. I think tonight is proof of that, and I’m super humbled to be a super small part of that.”
