Guys I just finished reading an awesome book by Don Higgins, titled "Hunting Trophy Whitetails in the Real World."
Don livesjust about 40 miles from me but although he hunts these same central Illinois bucks, his techniques should hold true throughout the country. This book opened my eyes to a whole new way of hunting and I can't wait to apply some of these "new" ideas this season. I highly suggest reading this book. It is a little on the expensive side, at $28 shipped, but well worth that many times over if it can get you to the next level in your hunting.
Check it out at

Being so close, I really hope I can meet Don - he really seems like my kind of stand-up guy!
