He Spent 6 Years Hunting This Public Land Buck | HUNTR #331
About this episode
Pat Burns shares his six-year journey hunting a giant public land whitetail known as the 'Electric Buck'.
In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we're joined by Pat Burns to break down his incredible six-year pursuit of a giant public land whitetail he called the “Electric Buck.” After finding his first set of sheds, Pat spent years collecting trail camera data, tracking through the snow, studying scrapes, and piecing together the buck's movement across thousands of acres. That obsession eventually brought him face-to-face with an 11.5-year-old whitetail. Pat shares everything the journey taught him about mature buck behavior and why, sometimes, the pursuit means more than the kill. Thanks for tuning in, and we'll catch you next week.
