Episode Description

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!
