What an amazing journey you've been on, Truly Blessed.
Good Lord Don you have DEFINITELY been blessed when it comes to GIANT Whitetails!
Awesome! Thanks for letting us into your home to view your trophies. Lots of haters in comment section...big Deer brings out the worst in people, in the woods and especially online
Don is one of the best ever.
Awesome stories and beautiful trophy room. God has truly blessed you .
Must have some really good neighbors to be able to let deer walk and grow to be 6.5 years old only on 120 acres. it is all about location for sure. Love your trophy room and that you are God driven. Keep up the good work Don, I admire you and you are a good person.
Such a great episode - thanks to Don for taking the time to record with the Exodus team. Thankful for folks like Don that take the time to teach others and flatten the learning curve for chasing whitetails.
Was watching the story of Mel Got me thinking of this past year A friend of mine shot the buck I had been following for a few years here in New York At first I was like damn it Then I got to thinking This guy had lost his dad three days before Christmas the year before Two days after Christmas his firstborn son was born As I get older I can’t help but feel there is a greater power making this world a better place He was certainly way more deserving of this deer I promptly called and congratulated him on his harvest Thank you for being such an inspiration ✌️🙏❤️
Don, your house turned out beautiful. So happy for you and Robin to have such a beautiful place to grow old together and share the land with your family!!! Loved the episode!!!
Don you are a blessed Man indeed. You are also a good and stand up guy . You have worked hard . Enjoy your success! You’re a Blessing. God bless .
Congratulations sir on the big bucks harvested over the years! It's amazing such big bucks were harvested off a 120 acre farm. It shows how well you managed your property.
Wow - what a trophy room. Deer antlers are fascinating in how they can be so dissimilar to other bucks that might come from the same dam, sire, and habitat range. Congratulations on an exceedingly successful hunting career and continued good fortune moving forward.
Amazing career Don!! Congratulations brother!!!
Wow nice theophylline room those are some giant bucks his might be my new favorite whitetail deer vid.

Incredible collection, Don is a living legend
Wow, this guy knows his stuff & is in a great area to be a deer hunter!
Don,,,wow what a collection of huge bucks. You are blessed. When you put God first,he will reward you.
Awesome!
I think I hear BAD TO THE BONE playing in the background !
Good information. I need more cameras and would do an Oklahoma survey. Hopefully your buck lived Cameron!
WoW!!!! This fella has a honey hole with some GIANT BUCKS on it!!! Awesome trophy room
The GOAT 🐐
Yup, of farm raised monster bucks. All under micro management and grown to ripen to 5, 6, 7 years old tamed monster bucks. GOAT, indeed. 😂😂😂😂
@@coewhat tamed 😂
@@coewhat What an ignorant comment. Does it hurt to be that stupid, or were you just born that way?
Ii could do that .........if I had private land!!!! Come hunt the public land I hunt!!!!!get down of your high horse!!!!!so full of themselfs....

How much did smokey weigh? What a tank!
That's a great man there
I'm ready to go hunting
Goals
I like the Bucks he got on his farm
4 1/2 year old top 10. He would have been the world record in another few years
Typical racks dont have split tines, or have points that share the same base symmetry side to side right? Hanson buck example
Nice wall. Missed seeing you at local place for food plot seminar a few years ago.. my cousin's wedding was that day. It took discipline to go to the wedding 😁 You need a MAGA hat on the one Buck
How come no one talks about hunting upstate New York
Hi
The best part of your house is the PURE FILTH creeping around in the woods near by.
not sure what that means???
Take me 😊
Monsters of the Midwest
Imagine if you had a trophy room like that, and all the deer were on public lands.
bad as# Bucks!
should've let Mel go 1 more year
He said trump was the first deer he seen in the 10 hunts for him but he said he killed that other buck a couple days before that makes no since he said he killed Smokey on October 15th and then trump on October 19th but then says he hunted trump 10 different times and trump was the first deer he seen in them 10 hunts
Here’s the thing-It’s not really a 200 Incher if the Net Score is Below 200 Inches which all of them are-Mel is actually 197 Net which is your biggest buck so technically you don’t have any 200 Inchers-I understand why someone would want to go by Gross Score but in the books it’s net so Mel isnt 220 he is 197
Nets are for fish
Well this depends on what system you are using. Buckmasters would make those 200"
Where’s your gross 220+?
Next one put the name( Trump2024.)
AKA..."FAILURE24"
So you basically bred majority of these deer on private parcel? Naming deer is ridiculous imo. Gl in the breeding farm.
Lost me at trump great way to ruin a good buck.
Did he really say “I only got 120 acres” huh??? “Only.” Well, that’s nice.
For big time hunters that’s not that much
