HUNTR

In this episode of the HUNTR Podcast, we bring back Andrae D'Acquisto to talk mature bucks and why hunters might be giving them too much credit. Andrae breaks down his aggressive approach to whitetail hunting, how much pressure mature bucks can actually handle, and why he isn't afraid to get in close when the opportunity is there. We also dive into trail cameras, buck bedding, and how Andrae approaches October differently. With deer season underway, there's a lot in this one that might change the way you hunt mature bucks this fall.

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.
