Patrick Long

Patrick Long is a lifelong hunter, long-time writer, and everyday engineer. He earned his bachelor’s degrees in Physics and Electrical Engineering from the University of North Georgia and Georgia Tech, respectively, and recently completed his Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech. His technical background shows up regularly in his writing, shaping how he approaches research, testing, and explanation. Patrick enjoys breaking down complex topics into clear, useful information—whether that’s a technical system, a ballistics concept, or a nuanced hunting decision—and that mindset has become a defining part of his work.

Patrick has been hunting since he could walk and harvested his first whitetail deer at the age of five with a .243 Winchester. He hasn’t stopped chasing deer since, and over the years has expanded his time in the field to include duck, turkey, and bear hunting as well. Like many lifelong hunters, his knowledge has been built through a mix of tradition, trial and error, and continual learning. When he eventually combined his passion for hunting with his interest in writing, he launched a whitetail-focused blog called Omega Outdoors, where he documented real hunts, gear decisions, and lessons learned in the field. Over time, Patrick published more than one hundred in-depth articles on the site, laying the foundation for his understanding of long-form content, audience intent, and search-driven publishing.
