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.

As someone still new to mobile hunting, I pick Cody's brain on simplifying setups, staying adaptable, and learning through trial and error in the field. We also dive into the realities of targeting mature bucks—why it's such a challenge, the mindset required, and how small decisions can make or break an encounter. Whether you're just getting into mobile hunting or looking to refine your approach, this conversation is packed with practical insight and honest perspective from both sides of the experience spectrum.   Podcast brought to you by: Sportsmen's empire  LWCG https://www.lonewolfcustomgear.com Asio : SEBH for 15% off https://asiogear.com/ Bowtique: SEBHP https://thebowtiquellc.com/ G5 Outdoors https://www.g5outdoors.com/ Prime Archery https://www.g5prime.com/ Dialed Archery https://dialedarchery.com/ Moultrie https://www.moultrie.com/ BHL https://bowhuntingleague.com Scrape doctor SEBH10 for 10%  https://scrapedoctor.com/ Victory Archery  https://www.victoryarchery.com/ Catalyst archery https://catalystarchery.com/SEBH10 Unbound Archery SEBH10 for 10% off https://www.unboundarchery.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
