Meet The Team

Mario Trafficante Jr., Founder, and Owner of Hunting Beast Gear partnered with Dan Infalt to start developing products that changed how we think about hunting and hunting equipment. Long-time moderator for The Hunting Beast Gear Podcast, and a Hunting Beast Pro-staff, Mario brings a wealth of technology, engineering, business operations, manufacturing and outdoor knowledge to Hunting Beast Gear.

"Designing, manufacturing, and bringing these products to market has been a great opportunity to share our ideas with the hunting community", "Starting out with the simple goal of making a better hunting system for ourselves, we developed a set of climbing sticks and eventually a stand that changed the way people think about developing and using hunting equipment", Mario Trafficante Jr.
