I was born in Newark, New Jersey where I grew up hunting and fishing at a young age of 8. We made yearly trips hunting the mountains in New Castle, Virginia on family property and state game lands. At age 10, my parents relocated to Florida, which introduced me to a whole new learning curve to hunting the south. I’m an avid archer who enjoys hunting and fishing with my bow as well as target archery. I share my joy for archery and the outdoors with my wife and children who love it as well!! I’ve been using Ani-Logics products now close to 3 years! I love the results! I’m a huge science geek and wanted to supplement a product that was biologically balanced that would give me the results other than trying to supplement with processed protein pellets. Especially, hunting mainly here in Florida. I wanted something to help boost antler growth! I started with Mineral Dirt 180 and was amazed at how much deer were visiting the site. I then added Supplement GOLD on a yearly basis.
What’s amazing is how the deer have responded in antler growth as well as healthy fawns hitting the ground!

I was raised in the small town of Brunswick, Nebraska (population less than 150 people) in Northeast Nebraska where my love for the outdoors flourished, thanks to my Dad for introducing me to bow hunting and my Grandpa who always had time to take me fishing. Show More... My passion grew even more when I got the opportunity to actually start managing 80 acres of land for deer and other wildlife. I started off doing small things such as, providing quality mineral for the deer, small food plots, making deer trails through the cedar tree belts, and improving bedding so the deer would not have to leave the property as often. I was fortunate to harvest a 168” mature buck with my bow on those 80 acres, which made me extremely happy and fueled the fire to do more on the properties that I am fortunate to hunt and manage. The 2009 season was very special in many ways to me as I harvested my biggest 168” gross, whitetail buck, with a bow and got to share one last hunt with a close dear friend of mine as he was called to hunt in heaven. Before the 2010 season I became interested in self-filming my hunts so I convinced my Mom and Dad to let me use their camera! I assured them that I wouldn’t drop it out of the tree, which I did unfortunately… I was hooked on filming from there on out and my passion to film grew and continues to grow each year. As it turns out, the 2010 season was good to me as well, I was able to harvest ‘’Snaps’’ not the biggest buck but one that will always mean the most to me for many of reasons. It was my first self-filmed kill on video. Because of that experience, I never hit the woods without a camera in hand. I have had many good opportunities to harvest some very nice bucks over the years but could never get it captured all on film while solo filming. In 2013, I decided that if I wanted to continue to filming I needed to get good high quality equipment, so I took out a loan to purchase a Canon XA20 and all the necessities to get started. Most people thought I was crazy to do that, but they just don’t understand the rush you get from it! In 2014, I was fortunate to meet Brian Wiese and help him try to capture his quest of ‘’Westerkamp” on film all while creating a friendship that goes beyond just hunting. It is refreshing to have a hunting partner that has the same goals and attitude about the great outdoors as I do. I’m excited for what’s to come in the future and ready to be back out sitting in a tree waiting for a big mature Nebraska buck! Show Less...

Animal Specialties: Turkey & Deer
I grew up in Creighton, NE – a small town in Northeast Nebraska. My step father introduced my twin brother and I to hunting at around age 8 or 9. We would tag along with him during the Nebraska rifle season, and when the turkey population started to increase in the area; he bought us turkey vests and calls and told us to “try to make sounds like the turkeys do”. He wasn’t a turkey hunter himself, nor does he know how to run a call; but he knew that it was something we enjoyed so he encouraged us to follow our passion. Over the years, my passion to hunt continued to grow. Show More... Show Less...

Austin Ashley
I was raised in a family of hunting enthusiasts, going to the woods in pursuit of various game with my father since I was a very young child. Over the years, we harvested our share of mediocre deer, but nothing notable. Seeing the huge trophy bucks being taken from other parts of the country, I wondered why we didn’t have deer of that caliber in southern Mississippi. No one thought we could grow deer of that size here. As I grew older and more passionate about hunting and wildlife, I also grew more interested in the well-being of the deer, their health, and their environment. I set a goal to grow and harvest a Boone & Show More... As a 16-year-old high school senior bound for college, I spotted a particular young 7-point buck, about 2-1/2 years old, on our farm. I decided to see how big this buck could grow. I built feed boxes, put up some game cameras, and began to supplement his diet. I experimented with various supplements, and began implementing protein feeds and year-round food plots. When I couldn’t find the right mineral supplement, I even made my own. I had many encounters with this deer over the next 5 years and watched him grow into a true trophy buck. He was harvested by a neighbor and made the Magnolia record books! Over those 5 years, I grew from a weekend hunter into something much more. At 31 years old, I have been a land manager and game keeper for 15 years on our southern Mississippi farm. I have fought for diversity, because no one seems to think you can grow big deer in Mississippi. I am here to tell you that you can grow not only big deer, but record-worthy bucks! I’ve proven that intensive management, the right products to give the deer the nutrition they are lacking, and allowing the deer to mature are the key aspects of maintaining a healthy farm and a healthy herd, in spite of less than perfect dirt. As proof that hard work, perseverance, and proper management go a long way, we’ve harvested multiple whitetails over 170! If I can grow big deer here in southern Mississippi, you can grow big deer wherever you are. Show Less...

Josh Stein
I’ve been a hunter my entire life, beginning with growing up on a dairy farm in lower Michigan. When I moved to the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan in 2001, I experienced a big learning curve in trying to track down those elusive Upper Peninsula mature bucks. My forestry and real estate career have allowed me to spend extensive time exploring and scouting the big woods over the last 17+ years. I have been filming my journey towards consistently tracking down big deer for over a decade now, and I enjoy sharing those adventures with viewers all over the world.
I run a popular real estate/hunting website, www.joshsteinland.com, that features a live webcam tucked deep in the north country. The webcam has a large viewership, where visitors enjoy watching deer, bear, turkey and more feeding on Ani-Logics products!

I grew up in NE Oklahoma. I was introduced to hunting by my dad and grandfathers. They would always hunt quail, squirrel, and rabbits in SE Kansas along with their annual Thanksgiving pheasant hunting trip to western Kansas. I would always be waiting at the door for them to get back to show off their harvests. At age 8, I got the opportunity to go with them for the first time, and from there my love of the outdoors began. Show More... In 1998, I finally got the opportunity to go on my first deer hunt. I will always remember that day. It was a snow covered foggy December morning and it was cold. As the sun rose I could make out two silhouettes around 300 yards to the east of us. I kept thinking finally I had my own deer hunting story and couldn’t wait to tell my buddies about it, and I hadn’t even pulled the trigger. My grandfather told me to pick out the biggest doe, as I lifted his 300 Winchester, I slowly put the cross arrows on the top of the deer’s back, “slow on the trigger,” my grandfather said, Boom! as the smoke cleared, I heard the words every deer hunter loves, “you got it!” At that moment, I finally knew what my buddies had been describing in all their stories and now I had my own story to share. The following year I got my first bow and from there my lifelong archery passion began. I have harvested numerous Pope and Young deer on both public and private ground and still enjoy hunting both to this day. As the years went by my love for archery hunting grew and grew and I wanted to share my experiences with others. I started to self-film and quickly fell in love with it and the challenges that came with it. A few years later I started the KOAM Outdoors media pages with hunts covering Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri on both public and private ground. I continue to learn each year and enjoy producing videos of what I do throughout the season to be successful. I cover everything from tree stand placement, hunting and calling strategy’s, food plots, along with mineral and supplement feeding. Ani-Logics Outdoors has lead the way for achieving deer management by delivering great mineral and supplement products that keep your deer herd healthy and fight diseases such as Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD).

Hunting Partners: Mark Yira (Dad) and Brandon Yira (Brother) Show More... While going to college at St. Cloud State where I ran track and field and was in the Army Reserves, I spent all my free time, which wasn’t much, on the new property my dad bought in Polk County, Wisconsin, right next to where my mother grew up. The piece of property was just logged before we bought it. Looking like a wasteland, my dad and I began scouting and putting up stands. With the help of Ani-Logic blocks we were able to pattern some mature buck in our first season. Both my brother and I harvested mature bucks the first day hunting the property. Since then we have harvested 9 mature bucks after only owning the property for 4 years. I owe all my hunting success to my dad for teaching me everything about hunting and the outdoors. Something I hope I can pass onto my kids one day. I have been very blessed to share many wonderful memories in the outdoors with my dad and brother something I will cherish forever. I am very honored to be apart of Ani- Logic Outdoors Pro Staff team. They are a great company with even better staff. It has always been a dream of mine to get into the hunting industry. I have used their products for many years and have had wonderful success. I love the research behind the products and the results they produce. “There is no off season” describes not only the company but myself as a hunter! Show Less...

Favorite type of hunting: Archery hunting for Whitetails
I didn’t necessarily grow up in the typical hunting family in Northwestern PA. My dad hunted as kid and young adult, but had more of a passion for music. I hung out with the kids that hunted and fished when I was young and went on my first deer hunt at the age of 13 in the Allegeny National Forest of Pennsylvania. Show More... Since that first hunt many years ago, I have transformed into what many people call a 365 hunter. There isn’t a day when I don’t think of managing property for wildlife, where my next stand should be, what to plant, where to plant, what to feed, where to put my next game cam. I have developed such a passion for hunting that I also have made it my career. I am currently part of the management team at my local Field and Stream Shop located in Erie, Pennsylvania. You can catch me many times being out on the sales floor getting carried away talking about attractants, hunting products, treestand strategies, food plots, game cameras, etc. Being asked to be part of the Prostaff team at Ani-logics Outdoors is a great honor! Their philosophy and mission is the definition of who I am as a land steward, game manager, and hunter! I truly believe that providing wildlife and game with added nutrition and supplementation can only benefit them and assist you as a hunter and/or manager to help you achieve your personal goals on your hunting grounds!

Jarrett Sweeney
I’m an avid hunter and personal trainer. I love to hunt everything from small to big game. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel around North America and take some world class animals.
I started hunting when I was 10 years old with my family, on public lands, in Western PA. As I got older and my love of deer hunting grew, I became more serious. It was no longer about shooting a buck each year; I needed to be out in the woods scouting for quality deer and finding new places to hunt. Living in Western PA, this was not an easy task. Due to poor QDMA practices in the state, deer were hard to find in the mountains. Show More... Growing up, I dreamed of owning my own land someday. That dream finally became a reality in 2019, when I purchased my first property in southern Iowa. I moved to Iowa in January, I can only imagine the excitement I’ll feel hunting turkey and deer, on my own land. I cannot wait to get my hands dirty creating the ideal habitat to attract and hold deer. I look forward to my new partnership with Ani-logics Outdoors and seeing the results of using their products first hand. Show Less...

Wesley Green
I’m from Rushville, Indiana, which is about an hour Southeast of Indianapolis. I first started hunting when I was about 10 years old when my grandpa and my uncles introduced me to coyote hunting. I first got into deer hunting when I was about 13 and as I started to learn the ways of hunting, I became more and more interested in deer; big deer.
I harvested my first buck when I was 16 years old on the second day of youth season. From 2014 until 2016 I was after a buck I nicknamed “Curve”. Show More... I spent a lot of time over the years trying to figure out which mineral supplement is best and after about 5 years of experimenting I came to the conclusion that Ani-Logics was the answer. I really enjoy seeing my deer herd reach their full potential and I try to provide them with the proper nutrients they need to do so, that is why I use Ani-Logics. I know for a fact that Ani-Logics mineral provides all of the nutrients my deer need to keep them healthy, while also helping them grow and I have seen the results over the last few years. As I’ve grown as a hunter, I take pride in harvesting a particular deer I’m after each year who is also the most mature deer within the herd. I love the challenge of chasing and harvesting a particular buck and how you continue to learn something new, each and every year. I harvested “Triple B” my first ever “Booner” and my first compound bow kill this past season on October 24, 2017. He grossed around 185”. This was a hunt and a deer I will never forget, as everything finally came together and my hard work had finally paid off. I’m very fortunate to be a part of the Pro-Staff team at Ani-Logics and it is a great honor. I truly believe that we have the same values and goals when it comes to managing whitetail deer and helping them reach their full potential every year. I’m also very proud to say that I’m a member of not only a great company, but a great group of people as well. I look forward to what’s to come in the future here at Ani-Logics! Show Less...

Marc Cavanaugh
I was born and raised in the outdoors here in central North Carolina. I have been passionately pursuing whitetail deer for over 20 years now since the age of 8 years old. Over the years I have been fortunate to harvest a number of great whitetail deer in my area . In my adult years I have developed a passion for whitetail management and getting the most out of my local herd. Thousands of trail camera pictures a year, meticulously combing over and studying my herd which in turn led to an obsession that runs deep within. I have been filming my own hunts for the past 6 years and enjoy capturing the action for all to see the hard work and fruits of my labor pay off.Naturally, Ani-Logics was the perfect fit for what I wanted out of my herd and offered results year after year in the form of consistently harvesting mature whitetails. I am very fortunate and excited about the opportunity to be a part of such a great company that offers a full scale supplement program I can stand behind and count on day in and day out.

Reid Wilkinson
I grew up in south central Kentucky, but hunting hasn’t always been a part of my life. As a young boy I often dreamed of chasing whitetails or turkeys, but never had the opportunity or spots to hunt.
Fast forward to 2000 and I got my first motocross bike and was hooked! I raced competitively for 8 years through out the southeastern United States winning a handful of state championships as well as following the Mega Series.
The years passed and a few broken bones later it was either college or pursue racing. I chose school …(smart choice). Show More... While in college one of best friends took me out and let me kill my first turkey and deer and it was all over. My dad set us up on our first lease and I’ve never looked back. Now I’m married To my gorgeous wife and we have a beautiful 3 year old daughter and I’m lucky enough that my in-laws have numerous farms that I hunt. I’ve always dreamt about hunting and love the lessons it teaches you and can’t wait to pass the passion on to my daughter. Hunting is definitely something that has changed my life and I’ll forever be thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given! Show Less...

Cooper Hough
I was born and raised in NE Oklahoma. I currently hunt several properties consisting of 20 to 1000 acres and I’m very dedicated to land and deer management.
My dad started taking me hunting when I was 5. I learned early in life that it wasn’t all about the harvest of the animal, but the experience with family that means the most.
When I was 9, I shot my first deer with my great grandfather’s Winchester .30-30 and from there my passion turned into a obsession. I remember helping my family before every season. Some of my favorite times were setting tree stands and scouting for those giant bucks. Show More... As time went on, I saw deer hunting strategies and techniques continue to evolve with more usage of mineral and supplement feeding. I messed around with a few products, but didn’t fully understand their purpose until the 2012 EHD hit. After walking up on several dead hit list bucks, I knew I needed to start protecting my deer herd better. I did a lot of research on the best products available and everything led me to Ani-Logics. I’ve been running their products for several years now and have noticed the deer are looking healthier and better equipped for winter more each year. There are a lot more deer holding on my properties and antler growth has met my expectations. I’m proud to say I’m an Ani-Logic’s outdoorsman! Show Less...

I was born and raised in Marion County, KY, which is located in central KY. I’m currently working in the automotive industry as a forming mill operator. I have hunted all my life, taking my first deer (5 point) at 8 years old and have been hooked ever since. I was taught the ways of hunting by my dad and owe the things I know about hunting to him. I hunt deer, turkey, and predators. Hunting whitetail with my bow is my biggest passion. Most of my hunting was spent on small tracts of land or public land until the last couple of years. I got the opportunity to get a farm to hunt where I can manage the deer herd. Show More... Show Less...

I love hunting whitetail with my bow or rifle, given the choice, I do prefer my bow! I hunt several properties in Missouri, as well as a couple in neighboring states. My home town is St Peter’s, Missouri. If I’m not prepping for deer season, I’m hunting. If it’s not hunting season, I’m fishing. I love the outdoors. I’m so excited to see what the future brings using Ani-Logics and being part of an awesome Pro-Staff.

I have lived in Cheatham County, Tennessee my entire life. Growing up I never really hunted but I wanted to be outside all the time. We always went fishing or kayaking but I didn’t try hunting until I was a teenager and I was instantly hooked!
Shortly after showing my interest in hunting, my step dad bought me a compound bow and I was obsessed from the start. He told me I was a natural and from then on I only wanted to bow hunt and I made a goal to kill my first deer with a bow and finally, in 2014 I did just that! Archery quickly became my passion and later on deer management. Show More... Once I found Ani-Logics and started using it I knew it was the only product line for me and my deer herd.

I have been hunting since I was 7 years old. I was introduced to hunting from family members who primarily hunted deer. I spend most of my time bow hunting deer in Wisconsin or on my property doing work.
I own my own property consulting company called Snort Wheeze Outdoors. You can find me out on various properties providing recommendations for property management improvements. I completed the Quality Deer Management Association’s deer steward courses. I am also the President of my local QDMA branch. I am also a member of Whitetails Unlimited. Show More... My professional background includes discussing how to improve native browse, establishing native grasses/forbs for bedding and cover. TSI work to improve deer habitat as well as creating successional growth. I thoroughly enjoy discussing how to create deer sanctuaries. I have done seminars at shows and local businesses. It is crucial for me to provide the deer herd with optimum nutrition year-round. Having used many different products in the industry, I firmly believe Ani-Logics minerals and supplements are a key component to accomplishing my goal of year-round nutrition. The deer herd thoroughly enjoy the minerals and supplements and I take pleasure in knowing Ani-Logics products are fulfilling their nutritional needs. I look forward to what the food plot line has to offer! Show Less...
