About & Contact – Omega Outdoors

Hi, and welcome to Omega Outdoors! My name is Patrick Long and I am the author here, but odds are you don’t know who I am, so let me fix that.

I am a recent college graduate and avid outdoorsman from the great state of Georgia. I have been in the woods with my dad as far back as I can remember, and even killed my first deer at the age of five. It has been a couple of decades of hunting since then, and now I regularly chase whitetail, ducks, turkeys, and the occasional black bear. I love big bucks and deer management as much as the next guy, but I am just as proud to put a forky on the ground and wrap his tenderloins in bacon.

I started college off by studying Physics at the University of North Georgia, and eventually transferred to Georgia Tech to study electrical engineering as part of a dual degree program. My scientific background definitely comes through when I write, and I regularly use scientific studies and/or data when writing if it is available.

By the time I transferred schools, I had been writing for a year or so, but hadn’t seen much of a return. After transferring, it was time to pay rent in Atlanta. So, I needed to go all in as a writer or find a “real job” to make ends meet. That was a few years ago now, and I am still writing! Along the way, I have even been lucky enough to write for some awesome companies like Sportsman’s Warehouse, Outdoor Sportsman Group, Smith & Wesson, OnX Maps, and Wide Open Spaces.

I am not always cited on a website I write for, but there is a list of sites I am cited on below, which is always growing. Although this year, I am going to focus more on omegaoutdoors.blog, so you can expect to see plenty of new content here every week. Make sure you subscribe to my email newsletter, so you don’t miss anything 🙂

While the Omega Outdoors blog mainly focuses on whitetail deer, I write about nearly everything in the outdoor space when I am writing for others. The majority of that content is focused on hunting, firearms, and camping; which I have a fair amount of experience in.

That is about it! It is hard to sum up anyone’s story in just a few paragraphs, but if you have any questions or want to know more, feel free to send me an email! Thanks for being interested enough to read that much about me! If you are looking for something else to read, this is one of my favorite articles I have written so far.
