- After having this Illinois farm for over 10 years, we were finally able to grow a 200" MEGA Giant. It has been a wild ride for the last 3 years ever since we passed this deer at 26 yards as a 175" 4.5 year old in an attempt to let him grow to surpass the magical mark of 200".

That is some major discipline to pass a 4 yr old of that calibur in the most over pressured, hygrated county in the state of Illinois. Congratulations on a true Illinois giant.
thanks man, gotta give them special ones a chance
Having what they have on drury level literally, this thinking on a buck being shot or not is the ultimate prize and goal. I love the intro on not being shy of using a heater in a blind!!
that morning we was gonna stay toasty!
My lord Jeff! What a story and what a stud! Congratulations on that trigger control paying off!
Thanks brother
Incredible buck and story. Congratulations. Couldn't be happier for you. I think my favorite part of the video was the footage of the FaceTime with David afterwards. So cool you both get to share these times.
yes we are very blessed
Gave the whole story line away in 42 seconds! Saved me 30:00 minutes!
glad we saved you some time!
Jeff cuttin one in David’s face had me hittin the rewind button multiple times 😂
lol wut
@@TheLindseyWay lol cmon now 29:15 and you know it
A freaking awesome story for an awesome buck! This is some great footage! Congratulations Jeff
Thank u Sir!
growing up in Pike was such an experience when i was younger, my dad was an outfitter and i was a teenager when the scene really blew up. It was unreal that with the amount of deer that were being killed in those years that it simply didnt matter, the population just kept growing at crazy rates until we got hit super hard by all the diseases. In some areas it feels like im hunting in a different state compared to what i was used to growing up, so few deer and i actually saw more bucks than does there this year. it is nice to see people trying to actually manage the deer though, it used to just be a LOT of farmers that just wanted all of them dead lol
it's still hard to fathom the amount of bucks Pike used to produce, even with all the pressure!
@ one year on a single 300 acre farm in one of the most heavily populated areas in the county we had 14 bucks killed that were also decent and a couple of monsters and the following year you woulf have thought we never hunted it. It was truly unreal.
Sweet deer. Been a fan ever since yall cut apart Min-ten and Bob Marley. Huge respect for what you do and the way you do it.
thanks man, appreciate that...I miss that Min-Ten buck!
Awesome story of an awesome buck. Way to go fellas on a legend!
Thx man. Appreciate it!
Congratulations Jeff! That's an Illinois Slob for sure!!! The production and editing of this hunt is magnificent!! Hope to see you in Indy next week...#BIGGERNACKS4BIGGERRACKS

You sure got that right Jeff stay warm 😜

Awesome hunt Jeff!! Love all the episodes! I gotta say I agree though... You were gonna need that noggin checked if you was to pass that deer at 6.5 - 200". Great stuff! Congrats man!

Josh Stein is a Legend in the U.P...

My Lord Jeff what a awesome buck

I love the Lindsey way.......
thanks!
Hey Gang, I gotta say I'm like most Whitetail junkies that don't own their own piece of paradise but go on social media to see how a dream can happen, I know the a ton of hard work and planning all year, I've watch numerous content were hunters are successful and what it took to get there, and it's gotta start and end with graduate, no doubt, all that said, I definitely subscribed to your channel, outstanding content, the Edit, story, the complete package rolled out, A+ brother, congratulations on a Majestic beast, only in dreams or on utube ill get to dream away.Happy New Year, everyone be well, Good bless. Im a big fan after 1, 30-minute clip. Always love the father/ son combo. He seems like a good man.
thanks man, we appreciate the kind words, we have definitely been blessed and try and keep leaving this land better than we found it
Hey Jeff , this is awesome !! Congratulations!
thanks Don!
Beatiful place!!!
Blessed to take care of it!
Awesome buck congratulations.
Thank you, man!
@TheLindseyWay I gotta get better at let them go for another year or two. Here in TN hard to do so much hunting pressure.
Congrats, awesome deer!
thank you!
Great dear! Congrats and awesome video!
Thx man
Sweet action!!! Great shot and stud buck! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks man, it was a long time coming!
Awesome hunt! Been watching you guys for a while and I enjoy your show. Overall Illinois is going down the tube for many reasons. Could you guys use your platform to educate people and the IDNR and try to push for the same regs as Iowa.
we will do our best!
Best steak I’ve ever had 😎
As it should be
What were you doing in the U.P.
Showing the legend Josh Stein how to turkey hunt
Awesome 👍
Thanks!👍
Sick edit!
Clayton did a great job
Great deer!
@@steinjosh1 thx bud
Congrats and nice video! Don’t know if it was to troll or not but the ‘S’ on the end of IL is silent.
Nothing against rifle hunting, I think it’s important to start with that… I think it’s important to get out and enjoy the outdoors for the amazing gift that it is regardless of how you enjoy it. Connect yourself with nature, soak in every moment and you’ll make some of the greatest memories of your life.
Great deer, I just don’t get the same feeling that I do watching a bow hunting video. I appreciate the grind a little more when I’m watching a bow hunting video and I get a deeper respect for the obstacles bow hunting comes along with. It’s a true game of chess and I like the more primitive aspect of it.
Great footage, but honestly all the “might pass him”, “coulda beens”, and “maybes” took away from what is an incredible 6.5 year old buck. A buck like that needs no justification, just my two cents
Indeed he was an awesome buck
Just makes no sense lol. One min you have your mind made up to take if he comes out then you are debating passing him 30 times lol. If you are debating passing a 200inch deer not sure what's the point in hunting haahah
Judge yourself not others
@@hdelano11because they might be bigger next year. That’s the way we roll
I’ve always thought the same as what you stated for IL buck limit but not finding anywhere in the regs where it says only one can be w a gun.
im not sure what I said, gotta look back lol
Elmer fudge 😂
lol
Congrats!!! Did y'all skip Kansas gun this year?
no, we tagged out early!

Wow nice buck! You don’t seem to excited tho?
Its not hard to understand why he's not jumping up and down and yelling. The multiple year, chase, quest, and chess match is finally over. It's a happy, exciting, overwhelming and sad day all at the same time when you finally put it all together..
I don't think I knew what had just happed :)
Wouldn't last a week huntin in deep timber. Would struggle to get a 120 without their cornfield and houseblinds in their pocket. Congrats on the farm pet
Are you okay?
lol mam, are u drunk
Now Jimmy, It's obvious you have no clue who or what you are talking about. Please stop eating the Tide Pods, mommy needs them to wash your fruit of the looms and bibs...#clueless
@@TheLindseyWay plastered!
Take him Jeff
ha indeed
Awsum buck but people are to caught up on the score of a deer the fun has been taken out of it these days if you you shoot a 140 or 200 it's about the experience and memories. And yes the public boys are better hunters lol
Truth all about the experience
Kinda confusing debating passing it but your mind was made up if you saw him. Unless it's a 230 incher thats nearby lol
I wanted to see him in person, we do that a lot
Just stay in pike county and don’t go any farther in Illinois there are no big deer east of pike county
People get jealous they can’t afford the box blind , if I could use a box blind permanent on ground I would too !
ha, just having a little fun
Drama just to make a video
If you’re deer season isn’t drama, is it really even deer season
Turned this off after 15 seconds of that guy talking dont care if it's a 300 inch deer
but you commented so we appreciate it
This is the reason y locals cant afford hunting ground and outfitters!
lol please enlighten me Ricky
I be John Brown , I had no idea Illinois no longer had public ground to deer hunt .
@@Simpleman667 lols
Uncle Jed didn't share that oil money with ya I guess....You don't have to be rich to hunt, you just got to want to actually hunt
Right... because Jeff Lindsey shooting a giant causes land values to skyrocket in price, has nothing to do with the current real estate trends. Ricky one smart dude!
Most annoying voice I've ever heard
Are u mad
