At the age of six Pat started hunting with his father Keith. His dad’s love for whitetail deer hunting soon rubbed off on him and now some thirty years later his love for hunting is even stronger than what it was when he first started. His professional career in the outdoor industry really began kind of by mistake or should I say "he lucked into it." Pat was working as a whitetail guide for Tom Indrebo at Bluff Country Outfitters located in Buffalo County, Wisconsin.
