On this week’s episode of Midwest Whitetail, we join Jeff Deets as he closes the chapter on a three-year pursuit of an Illinois magnum known as “Coors.” After countless close calls, near encounters, and heart-pounding sits, the legendary buck finally made one last daylight appearance—setting the stage for a storybook deer-camp hunt that every whitetail hunter dreams about. Big bucks are always exciting, but sharing a moment like this with family and friends is what makes deer camp truly special. Jeff’s perseverance, strategy, and the camaraderie surrounding this hunt combine to create an episode you won’t soon forget. We hope you enjoy this one—and from our entire team, Happy New Year!
