Thanks for your info i learned alot
ThankYou Don.
Don seems to be extremely disciplined with his trail camera strategies. Some great info in this interview!
Agreed, there's a ton of great trail camera tips/strategies in this episode.
Awesome interview thanks for the good info keep them coming
Thanks for watching Rob! Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome podcast!! I love listening to Don and taking notes!
Thanks Wes! Glad you enjoyed. Don is a wealth of whitetail knowledge.
I have killed more bucks on October 23rd and the 22nd more years than not! Coincidence or not I don’t know but in different states of the Midwest.
Great conversation...Don is the man!!
another great interview thanks alot feller's
Yogi Bear you bet! Thanks for watching.
Great interview. Awesome strategies for Smokey what a giant!!!
For sure, Don is a wealth of information!
Awesome guy and podcast guys! Did you happen to ask what scent he puts on his rope? Def going to give that a try this year! Thanks for all the podcast and knowledge, love it!
Don Higgins is a genius!
A very talented deer hunter with an honest and transparent approach!
Don needs a smurf!
2017 was the greatest year for big bucks being shot. i shot my biggest buck in '17 150" 12pt 2nd week of the archery season.
A great read is an article that Don wrote on the difference between the Illinois DNR or Fish & Game. The difference is between the mentors back in the 70's & the ones that replaced them around the 2010 era. It's a true eye opener.
Do you have a link for this article? As a former IL resident who lives in Iowa now i have had a certain distain for the IL DNR w the pheasant decline and the difficulty it is to apply and access public land. Thank ya !
Don has responded to several of my questions on social media over the past few years.
I appreciate Exodus doing these pod casts. Real information from the horses mouth. I’ve watched three this afternoon!
KsTimber Ghost our pleasure, thank you for watching!
Im 51 years old. I have been into whitetails at the age of 11. I love Dons thoughts. and by far this is the best interview ever! don is the best and you guys did a great job! Simply amazing. My girlfriend lives with me in SE Mn and she grew up in Buffalo Co. Wi. she is a bow hunter along with her brothers. They watched this show with me. Simply amazing! I you guys want to hunt SEW MN give me call. I reached out to don weeks ago and he actually replied!
I’m from SE Minnesota! What county do you hunt? How did you contact The 200 class buck slayer.. oops I mean Don Higgins 😂
Kinda hard to stay out a hunting area when you refresh mineral and check cams and do food plots and supplement feed
Exactly. So don't do that, lol... or just do the edges...
I know the s video is a couple yrs old...but having to deal with (squaters ) ..really is a bummer...instead of jumping on top of the man...just ask questions to help yourself...I totally understand what he saying...I have same problem...
It's been a while
If you shoot at a big buck and miss will he be back at the same place about the same time next year ?
My trail cams range seems to be short 40yard max am expecting to much or wrong camera
I find that putting them at head height facing a little down gives me a better trigger range. What does the cam say for range? I use cheaper cams and get good range but I’m in Maine and it’s hard to even see more than 50-60 feet in the woods and I put them on trails more than space. Hope this helps.
I hope you were in your stand today...
Ive seen walk right around cameras seems like they know what they are
I talked to Don several years ago on the phone when I was testing food plot seeds and he just really seemed just like in the video calm, cool, and willing to help best he could. I would say a genuinely good guy.
This would be easy to do, if you have your own farm, that no one else is jacking around on, or hunting the edges of.
Ha haha 😄, u need to get a Honda Civic with a bike rack over the trunk to seal the deal on that Public land buck. Hiding in plain sight is the key. Hopefully u won't run into the Covid Crashers that I put up with during the 2020 season.
Higgins was great but someone needs to tell the hosts to speak up, has to keep adjusting my volume cause I'ld turn it up when the host talks and then have to turn it down when Higgins talks or my neighbors would hear it haha.
This was from 2019 - we’ve thankfully improved over the last two years, but we still have plenty room for improvement haha
Don't take it as complaining please, very much enjoyed the interview and was a great interview, especially using real world experiences for questions.
i know its probably a long shot but i know where a booner is on public land in missouri if any of you wanna hunt him. he was a booner last year. i got some private finally and wont be after him. this specific public nobody really hunts
What public land is it in Missouri?
@@biggamehunter9138 southeast mo
I don't have my own land. The chances of a buck getting mature where I live is almost impossible. I get very few buck on camera over 3 1/2
Where do you live?
So did dude kill the big 8 pointer or what?
Lost access to the farm that summer
@@ExodusOutdoorGear bummer dude..
Try hunting western ny weather..it is crazy.
😂😂😂😂jj
