An Okayest Year

We hit record, crack jokes, and somehow end up doing a full 2025 deer season year-in-review with the crew—public land chaos, private land chirping, a perfectly-orchestrated deer drive, and the universal truth that the freezer doesn’t fill itself (unfortunately).

You’ll hear:

• Tyler’s first real taste of public land deer hunting (and the humbling that comes with it)

• The Thanksgiving-ish deer drive that turned into a full-blown tradition

• Matt’s “dumb luck” story that includes a 47-yard double-lung from the ground… after ditching the camera (as is tradition)

• Derek’s heater of a season across Wisconsin + Illinois, capped by the best kind of win: his son taking his first deer

• A few real talk moments on what Okayest Hunter actually stands for—kindness isn’t weakness, community matters, and the loudest negativity doesn’t get to define the mission

It’s funny, it’s rowdy, it’s heartfelt in the least convenient way… and it’s the perfect sendoff into almost 2026.
