#393 - A Masterclass In Everything Late Season Whitetail with Don Higgins

Welcome to the WHTL Podcast, presented by Moultrie. Your source for Whitetail Deer Hunting Tactics, Stories & Expert Guests. In this episode, we're back in the studio with Don Higgins. We Discuss:

• Late-season success depends on weather stacking and food sources

• Deer movement increases with cold fronts and stable winds

• EHD recovery requires patience and reduced harvest pressure

• Strong neighbor relations help protect herd and property

• Soybeans and corn remain top late-season food drivers

• Self-regulation is key; don't rely on state rules alone

• Habitat design should concentrate deer movement, not spread it

• Tree planting needs prep: kill roots, add nutrients, protect trees

• Bucks will travel far; understanding home range guides strategy

• Long-term herd health requires disciplined, intentional management

And So Much More!
