Internet deer land manager/ seed salesman. A few years ago, he killed two 200" bucks in a season and all on video.
If you embraced this YouTube stuff, you could likely make some money with your data, photos, etc.
Ole Bill Winke is back at it again. He has figured it out and just keeps telling the same stories. I just watched his dream farm 8 episodes on buying land.

Aha! Thanks. Had no idea who he was.

Last thing I need is to "raise my profile." I took enough crap over the years for my support of QDM. Glad the days of the "buck limit wars" are over. I'll just stay on here and irritate you all! Besides, I fulfill the website's token Heathen quota.

He has a pretty good podcast called "chasing giants"
Higgins has been writing deer hunting articles for a long time, way before YouTube. If memory serves he was the first one bringing attention to the "same place same time" theory for bucks.

Some guys seem to tag giant bucks often enough that it's not an accident. He's one of them. Whenever those guys are willing to speak about their approach and strategies, I am grateful for the opportunity to listen. There's always a possibility that there'll be a nugget of info that might prove invaluable to my own hunting. There also might not, but as long as there's a possibility to learn I'll listen.

Completely different topic, but Jeff Sturgis content is everywhere. I would be interested to know his youtube income alone. i get sucked into his videos all the time.
Don Higgins promotes the rope for scrapes and the first time I ever heard that podcast, I ordered some rope and some of those Smokey lures. Sturgis promotes the grapevine limb and that is what I use now. Both seem to work.
it still amazes me that I can tie a stick in a tree, scrape out the ground and place a camera there....sure enough the deer find in and take it over.

Both guys have some informative stuff they share for sure.
One thing about Don, he is open about how stupid the president and our government is. YouTube won't tolerate the truth much longer
And his faith in Jesus Christ!
Amen
Gotta be good at what he does but I'll say it again " Exclusive Property " . Others have done this . One guy on a hunting show but can't remember the title killed four 190+ deer in one season. He promotes don't forget that hunting is your God given right . I'll try and remember his name. But if you have the property that only you have access to then alot on this site could possibly do the same thing .... now I didn't say I could but some on this site could . I'd probably choke drawing down on a giant. I understand watching these shows a hunter may could gain something that could help him but I don't get caught up on their success because of the properties they get access to . Oh I remember now his name it's Mark Heck of of Your Given Right .

Yes I agree. He's in a big buck area of a big buck state, on well managed private ground, and it's not lost on me that he used to be a deer farmer. He used to pen raise giant bucks and did so on the same property he now hunts. So there's that. I'm not taking anything away from his knowledge base. The guy is smart and I seriously consider his ideas on habitat for big bucks. Some I agree with. Some I do not. But I do consider them before disagreeing.
