Rayn Wilson

I grew up on a small farm in WV where I currently live. I started hunting at a pretty young age and harvested my first deer when I was 7. I began bow hunting when I was 13 and it has become my passion ever since. My area is not well known for huge whitetails but I have managed to harvest some respectable deer (all with compound bow). I am an avid outdoorsman and hunt just about everything native to my area. I love pursuing Black Bear with a bow and they are abundant in my area and I managed to harvest a nice one this past October.

Brian Calvert

My name is Brian Calvert. I'm from Indianapolis, IN. Im 40 yrs old and I've been hunting and fishing since I was a teenager. I love to turkey hunt, predator hunt and upland bird hunt but deer hunting is my passion. The last 3 years I have been on a few different hunting shows where I have met some great people and have been to some amazing places! I love the new challenges that adding a camera to a hunt can bring! It's difficult at times but when it all comes together the hard work is well worth it! I drive a semi locally Monday through Friday but on the weekends or on my vacation time I'm usually in the woods or on the water! I also enjoy helping beginners and kids get involved in the outdoors!!

Ryan Stepan

My name is Ryan Stepan, I'm 33 years old and I live in Clayton, Wis. Im not married, but live with my beautiful girlfriend Bailey who puts up with a lot so I can do the things I love to do. When I'm not working my life and passion is chasing whitetails and everything that goes along with it. Food plots, supplemental feeding stations, moving and perfecting dozens of tree stands and keeping my archery skills tip top are very important to me and takes up a lot of my free time. I'm a current Black Eagle Arrows LLC Pro Staffer and although I do rifle hunt, I absolutely love and prefer bow hunting! When not hunting I also spend time playing competitive softball and in the winter you will find me on the hard water in search of walleyes. I'm very excited to be a part of the Monster Raxx team and cannot wait to add this product to the formula in taking trophy bucks each fall

Jake Rouse

I was born and raised in Kinston, NC and relocated a few years ago to Raleigh, NC. I own a full-time business and I am also a taxidermist. Hunting has been a passion of mine since I was a little boy. I can remember hanging onto my dad's shoulders while he climbed up in the stand! He has taught me almost everything I know about hunting. And I managed to harvest my first deer by the age of 9 years old. I have been hunting whitetails for 24 years now, and turkey hunting for 13 years. I spend all year feeding deer, scouting, running trail cameras, target shooting my bow and planting food plots on land across NC that we hunt. I am very fortunate that my wife and oldest daughter share the "addiction" for hunting like me and my dad do. Hunting is definitely a way of life for me and my family!

Coltyn Bettis

Being born and raised in the river bluffs of western WI, I was fortunate to to have family that was big into the hunting lifestyle!  My obsession for wanting to be in the outdoors started for me at a young age with my dad and grandfather taking me to the woods to experience the best thing on earth...Hunting! I finally got to harvest my first deer and turkey at the age of 12 and was very rewarding to use everything I had learned from my family in the few years prior! I have since then created a 365 day a year hobby by puting in many hours of hard work in the off season preparing food plots, monitoring trail cams, shed hunting and many other forms of land management for better habitat and health of all wildlife.  Bow hunting whitetails is my greatest passion as they never seem to amaze me in how smart and challenging they really are to pattern and hunt year after year. 

Ian Sparks

Growing up I recall jumping out of bed as quick as I could on opening day of Iowa's second shotgun season. Even though I was not able to carry a gun until I was 13, I was in love with hunting and the great outdoors. I was blessed to be able to harvest a great mature 11 point as my first buck and after that I decided to pick up a bow. I have been a very blessed  the last few years to be able to take a nice buck every year I have bow hunted, thanks to God. I am very proud to be a part of the Monster Raxx staff as I know it is a tremendous product! I have never had such quick response to putting out mineral, within 3 hours of starting a new site I had deer on it and had five shooters show themselves during daylight! Even though you can't bait in Iowa it is great knowing which bucks are around during the summer and to be giving them the nutrition to grow to their fullest potential!

Zach Haas

I grew up in a small farm town located in Southeastern Wisconsin.  At a very young age my father, Dan Haas, brought me into hunting.  I took onto hunting quickly, and have been enjoying the sport ever since.  Besides enjoying the sport by itself, I also took it one step further, and now host and produce my own hunting show, Haastyle Hunting. Haastyle Hunting is all about bringing back the reality of hunting, and showing the viewers what hunting is really about.  Other than hunting and producing a show, I also enjoy fourwheeling, fishing, teaching hunter safety, and shooting in both tournament archery leagues and sporting clay leagues.

David Strait Jr.

I am David Strait Jr.I was born 3/11/1944.I am a Retired Building Contractor and Retired PA Forest Fire Warden. As far back as I can remember I have been addicted to hunting and the outdoors.  I have hunted deer with Gun and Bow for over 50 years without missing an opener in PA. I have been Blessed to hunt in PA,WV, and VA.  My biggest buck is an 8 point with a 19-1/4 inch spread taken in 2010. I have only seen two bigger since then on trail cameras and have been drooling every since. It will happen, I just have to put in the time and have patience. I am an avid small game hunter and trapper as well. Whatever season is in you will find me out there. Early last Fall I was introduced to Monster Raxx. I have never started a mineral site that worked as fast or as well as the Monster Raxx. The very first day critters and deer showed up, and it has been my best mineral site to date for activity.

Chris Knellinger

I was born in West Virginia and moved to Ohio at an early age, it wasn’t too long after that my father introduced me to the outdoors. From my first squirrel hunt to my first bow kill, I’ve been obsessed since day one. I enjoy hunting with any type of weapon but my true passion is bow hunting. The adrenalin that is felt when a big mature deer walks into bow range is a feeling that you will never forget. This past season my father harvested his first buck with a bow, a 150” class whitetail. He now has caught the bow bug like myself. Recently we have taken whitetail management to the next level on our 3000 acres of leased property. Establishing sanctuaries, mineral sites, food plots and bedding areas along with running trail cameras and controlling the predator population. I do not feel that hunting is a hobby, but a way of life that I look forward to passing down to my own children.

Ryan Bieneck
As a young boy at the age of twelve sitting in that treestand, freezing just waiting to see a deer could I have imagined that it would turn into such a passion! Today 26 years later im still lucky enough to be hunting in that same property where it all started. Thanks to my father, gradfather, and uncles for intoducing me to hunting and the outdoors I enjoy every minute. I love planting foodplots, putting out minerals and attractants, and running trail
cameras for 8 or 9 months out of the year. I spend as much time as possible shed hunting and enjoy creating history with a buck and watching him grow to be a mature deer before harvesting him. I enjoy involving and taking my my children in the woods with me.  My 5 year old girl Addy enjoys finding sheds with me and will be looking forward to her first hunt!
Morgan Gunby

My name is Morgan Gunby and I am 22 years old. Born and raised in Georgia and wouldn't trade it for the world. I have a degree in cosmetology and can be a total girly girl, but I also love to get dirty and be in the woods. My three favorite things are shopping, football and hunting. I enjoy going to the river during the summer and spending as much time as I can at my family's 2500 acre timber farm in south Georgia. I love to hunt and eat deer, hogs, turkey, quail, dove and pheasent.  I started out with a Remington .243 that I killed my first deer with (an 8 pointer) when I was 13. My dad passed down a Browing 30.06 for Christmas in 2010 that I have used to kill 2 does and a hog. I also have a Benelli 12 gauge that I use for bird hunting and have killed numerous quail, dove and pheasent.  I have yet to kill a turkey, but I have hunted them on several occasions. It's the thrill of the chase that I love so much.

Thomas Kelley

Being born in central New Hampshire, I was lucky enough to be raised by my father who taught me everything I know about the hunting world. I am currently a guide for New Hampshire Guide Services and we are a seven man team. My client in 2012 harvested a 57 inch bull moose that was second largest in the state for that year.  My passion is hunting whitetails and when its not hunting season, im prepping and scouting for the following season. I have multiple trail cameras out year round following the big bucks to see what survived. Each year I strive to better myself in the field so I can hopefully harvest that buck of a life time. Make sure to stop in and check out Monster Raxx and my family on facebook at www.facebook.com/kelleyboysadventures.

Finny Murphy

I was drawn to the outdoors from an early age growing up you could find me down by the creek fishing or perhaps doing some small game hunting with my pelletgun. I hunt primarily private land in Northen / Central MD, but also have 20,000 acres of bow hunting only public ground around me. Today I have a deep love for outdoors if I am not at work I can be found on the water or in a treestand. Bow hunting is my #1 passion in life right now my season never ends. Opportunities at mature bucks keeps me busy year round scouting, shed hunting, checking cams, and hanging stands.

Tyler O'neill

Growing up and living here in Northeast Iowa is an outdoorsman's dream. I'm very lucky to have the bluffs to climb and pursue the great whitetail deer and the streams and rivers to fish. I have been hunting deer for the last 13 years with the shotgun. But in the last few years bow hunting has become a new passion for me. No matter which type I'm doing it has taught me many things and I'm still learning something new all the time, you can never know enough. I am fortunate to have a few farms that I hunt and that has made it a year round obsession. From running trail cameras to scouting with a video camera to hanging stands and doing food plots. I like to believe that the greatest challenge is to take a mature buck and let the younger ones go so that they can reach their full potential.

Judd Larson

Deer hunting has taken on a whole new meaning for me over the last hand full of years. What used to be a 9 day hunting season during Iowa's second shotgun season, has turned into a year round obsession. The time spent scouting, running trail cameras, hanging stands and putting in food plots has taken on a large role in my time that I consider free. Over the last three years bow hunting has become my favorite way of pursuing mature bucks. Most of my hunting time is spent in NE Iowa.  I consider myself very fortunate to have the land available for hunting that I do, here in what I call "God's Country". Besides deer hunting and everything that goes with it, I also enjoy many other outdoor activities including trout fishing, pheasant hunting, and morel hunting. My current position in the agronomy field has brought me to the front doors of many nice people through out my area.

Caleb Buenger

I am from Preston Minnesota where I graduated from Fillmore Central Highschool. I enjoy being outdoors on our family farm where my dad and I raise registered angus cattle . If I'm not helping around the farm I am usually shed hunting with my two dogs Max and Harley, fishing at my mom and dads lake north of the Twin Cities or scouting for the next buck on my hit list. I have a true obsession for whitetails. I live for the adrenaline rush!

Dan Pearson

I have been bow hunting for over 33 years. I love God's Great Outdoors and feel very blessed to be able to spend that time with family and friends. Especially my brother, Mike, who I have been hunting with for all those 30+ years. I also have enjoyed my time with my daughter, Danielle, who shares the same passions to the outdoors and archery as I do. And I look forward to getting my youngest daughter, Ashleigh, involved in the sport of hunting as well. I enjoy getting youth started in the sport of hunting. To see the excitement on their faces when they have harvested their first deer or turkey is an incredible feeling. I would have to say though, my real passions are chasing spring gobblers and mature whitetails in the fall with archery equipment. I have to thank my wife for allowing me to pursue my passion (addiction) of hunting.

Derrick Schillinger

Bowhunting is my passion in life. Being raised in a family that spends countless hours in the outdoors, it was only natural for me to follow suit. My obsession with the outdoors has evolved into a 365 day a year pursuit. It begins in the spring with shed hunting, and continues through the fall chasing whitetails across the Midwest. I am constantly driven to new levels in my hunting career, working on ways to put myself above the rest through hard work and dedication.

Justin Jacklin

I am a small town, country boy being born and raised in Slinger, WI. Growing up fishing, hunting, and playing around on my 4-wheeler, I gained a love for the outdoors. I am currently a Union Millwright for P.W. Walsh & Co. and am a guide/outfitter for Wicked Whitetail Outdoors. My father was/is the biggest influence on my hunting career. He taught me how to hunt smart and safe from the day I could walk. He always told me it isn’t about the score or the age of the animal you have taken, it is the memories in the hunt and the people that you are with that make the hunt a true success.

Mike Pearson

Born and raised in Eau Calire, I have been hunting since I was 12 years old (33 years). My parents introduced to me the outdoors at a very early age and I haven't looked back since. My main passion is chasing whitetails with archery equipment in the fall and turkeys in the spring. Most of my turkey hunting happens in Buffalo County, WI and my whitetail hunting in Eau Claire and Clark Counties. I'm enjoying watching both my kids following me into the outdoors.

Bruce Langer

I am a firm believer that shooting the most mature whitetail in an area is the most challenging hunting endeavor there is. I learned this early, coming close, but not sealing the deal, so many times. These were challenges that every hunter faces. Some quit, but this only fueled the fire more for me. I had my first success at age 15, shooting what I believed was a trophy deer at the property I hunt. From that moment on I knew what I enjoyed in life and the one thing that I would never be willing to give up. Bow hunting mature whitetails! I feel extremely fortunate to be able to hunt in the driftless area of the Midwest and having the opportunities every year to see bigger and bigger bucks as the successes of quality deer management have kept paying off. I have grown up spending as much time as possible in the outdoors and especially in the bluffs of Southwest Wisconsin.

Seth Underwood

I have been bow hunting for 11 years and I grew up surrounded by hunting and it has been a family tradition for a very long time. I first began shooting archery when my father would shoot 3D tournaments, and the rest is history. My father owns a few farms in South Western Wisconsin where we have been implementing strict quality deer management. My greatest passion is bow hunting for Whitetails. We have stepped up our level of bow hunting by adding a camera to document our never ending 365 days, 24/7 passion for whitetails. During the off season you can find me putting on miles while shed hunting, preparing food plots, and scouting. I attend college at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater as an Operations Management Major. I am fortunate to have a great family that not only supports my whitetail addiction but is a part of it as well!

Aaron Nordby

Aaron Nordby grew up in Whitehall, WI. The outdoors has always been a passion of his. He has been bow hunting since he was 14 years old. Over the last 10 years his addiction for bow hunting has turned to hunting bigger bucks. His seasons are differant than most people's. His are hunting season, shed hunting season, turkey season, food plot season, scouting season... his passion runs year round.

Jimmy Davis

Jimmy was born in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and currently works at a manufacturing company in the municipal industry. He loves archery and meeting new people every day. He always likes hearing about other peoples' success in the woods and there great stories. "Hunting and the Outdoors is about all I do. Hunting mature whitetails has become more than just a hobby and it's one of the hardest things I've ever done." Besides hunting, he enjoys fishing, family, and hanging out with friends.
