Dr Bronson Strickland from the Mississippi State University Deer Lab will be a guest speaker at two of Don Higgins’ Whitetail Master Courses in 2022 (March 10 & 12). Dr Strickland will detail his scientifically proven approach for managing a property for bigger bucks and then Don will discuss how he used these same principals on his 120-acre farm to turn it into, acre for acre, one of North America’s best big-buck-producing whitetail properties.
Have you ever wanted to see the exact stand set-ups where veteran whitetail hunter Don Higgins has killed some of his biggest mature bucks? Wouldn’t it be neat to sit in the very blind where Don Higgins shot Smokey, a 206” buck from 2017, and see the exact layout of the property? Or maybe see the very stands where he encountered his 214” buck from 2004 and where he shot Mel in 2020 (the #6 all-time typical by bow)? Now you can do all of these things and more by attending the most informative, no BS course of its kind anywhere.
For decades Don Higgins has shared his knowledge about consistently tagging giant mature bucks through magazine articles, books, seminars, and consulting visits to client’s properties. Now you can visit Don’s very own Central Illinois property and see exactly how it is set up and managed to kill the biggest bucks there EVERY SEASON!
This one-day course will be approximately half indoors and half in the field. Students will actually visit 2 different properties where Don has killed giant mature bucks to get a better feel for how it is done and what it takes. Before taking to the field, you will see photos and videos of bucks taken from the very stands that will be visited as well as aerial photos of the properties. Don will explain each set-up in detail. See the exact stands where true giant bucks were killed and listen to Don explain why he placed his stands in those locations. Students will even be able to climb into the blind where Don shot Smokey, his 206” buck from 2017. No other class offers you a first-hand look at proven results and takes you to the exact spots where it happened!
During this course we will go to the exact stand sites where these bucks (and others) were shot –
