Higgins is going to be in J Co Saturday, if you are interested. Lost Creek Ag in Oakland Mills. I think they want you to rsvp if you're going?
I didn't go last year when they had him there, but some friends did. They had never heard of him, I never met him in person but remembered well from the days he'd chip in on the old forum. It was interesting to hear my friend's perspective afterwards (pretty positive). For myself, having hunted the Midwest only a few times, I think I understand why the things that are important to him work well for him there. Here in PA and at my place in KY - habitat, patterns of land ownership and land use, terrain, and (human) social factors are all pretty different from the Midwest.
