Fellow
Whitetail Addicts:
In 1998 I
had my first magazine article published in North
American Whitetail magazine, and since that time,
have had dozens of articles published in
numerous whitetail and bowhunting publications.
I don’t claim to be an expert, or any smarter
than the next guy; instead I just live and
breathe monster whitetails with a passion that
few others can even comprehend. I don’t travel
across North America going on guided hunts,
instead choosing to do most of my hunting close
to home in the real world. Most of the
properties that I hunt are accessed by simply
knocking on doors and asking for permission. I
base my writings on these “real-world”
experiences which the majority of other hunters
can relate to. Somewhere along the way I seemed
to gather a following of fellow whitetail
hunters who appreciate and enjoy my
“tell-it-like-it-is” writing style and
“down-to-earth” attitude. It seems the hunting
community has grown tired of the self-proclaimed
experts who are not even hunting in the
“real-world”, yet want to tell the rest of us
how to do it as they pass along unproven
theories and try to sell us junk products.
Because of the urging from a lot of you, I wrote
and self-published my first deer-hunting book in
2005. In a little more than a year the first
printing sold out, and we are now selling books
from the second printing. I started this website
primarily as a way to sell my book online, but
things have grown a bit since then. It seems as
if I get requests on an almost daily basis from
hunters who are seeking my advice on specific
deer hunting gear and equipment or who want to
consult with me on their own hunting properties.
Those requests prompted me to start selling
hunting products that I use and believe in, as
well as do a limited number of whitetail
management and habitat consultations. I have no
plans to ever sell a lot of products, but instead
plan to stick with those few quality products
that I believe in and routinely use in my quest
for monster whitetails. Rest assured that before
I sell any product, I give it a thorough testing
in the “real-world”. Thank you for your past
support and kind words regarding my past
writings, and I sincerely hope that this fall you
realize the dream of wrapping your hands around
the antlers of a monster buck!
Good Hunting,
Don Higgins |
