Raised in a family where hunting wasn’t just a hobby but a way of life, brothers Tom and Travis Schneider bring decades of hard-earned experience to the mountains. Both grew up learning from their dad and his close friends, gaining an edge on public land hunts where success depends on skill, strategy, and adaptability.

Travis, the oldest brother and founder of Stuck N The Rut, tagged along with his dad bugling elk at just 7 years old and killed his first 6-point bull elk solo at 13. For 20 straight years, he consistently tagged out on six-point bulls with both archery and rifle, all while working full-time building homes and filming over 180 DIY hunting episodes for SNTR’s YouTube channel.

Tom’s obsession with wildlife started long before he was old enough to hunt. At 16, he harvested his first mule deer, sparking a lifelong passion for pulling big bucks out of tough public-land country. With years of knowledge passed down from their father, Tom and Travis have perfected the art of hunting giant mule deer bucks and mature bull elk in areas where most hunters overlook.

Now, they’re sharing that knowledge with hunters who have the same passion and grit—those willing to work hard, hunt smart, and consistently bring big animals off the mountain.
