Savage Arms® Announces New Savage Journeys Episode: Hunting the Rugged Wild

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – August 8, 2024 – Savage Arms® is proud to have the latest Savage Journeys episode featured on multiple platforms. “Hunting the Rugged Wild” debuted on Carbon TV, premiers on YouTube tonight at 7PM ET and hits the Savage Blog tomorrow. Season 3, Episode 17 features Savage Marketing Director Beth Shimanski’s exceptionally long path and dedicated preparation plan to hunting success and personal growth in New Zealand.  

 Shimanski has been lucky enough to hunt some wild places all over the globe. For someone who has been hunting for less than 10 years, her list of adventures is long. All hunts and journeys present their own challenges, and Shimanski approaches them all on a case-by-case basis. From booking the trip to boots on the ground in New Zealand was about as unique and drawn out process as any hunt can be—and when she arrived and started the hunt, that path remained windy and full of unknowns, perseverance and ultimately, success.  

 Shimanski and friends from the industry originally planned to hunt the famed New Zealand landscape with the well-known and respected outfitter Glen Dene Hunting in 2020. However world events meant the once-in-a-lifetime hunt would have to be postponed. Then, New Zealand regulations and other scheduling conflicts pushed the hunt all the way to 2023. The challenge of just getting there was hard enough—but preparing and staying ready meant years of commitment from Shimanski and her hunting companions.  

“This hunt was literally years in the making, but I wouldn’t change a thing,” said Shimanski. “My hunting partners, Glen Dene and the true beauty, challenges and mystique of New Zealand made this hunt one to remember forever. I was proud of my ability to stay physically ready and navigate the trip getting pushed back multiple years.  

“The hunt itself was every bit as challenging physically, but even more so mentally. It had a little bit of everything: weather challenges, wary game, close calls and ultimately hard-earned success. My stag is a personal trophy and physical reminder of the adventure.  However, as all hunters know, it’s also the people you hunt with, the beauty of the terrain and the personal and physical accomplishments that make each hunt memorable and one-of-a-kind.” 

 Shimanski’s hunt, the preparation, planning and how it all unfolded, can be watched, read and experienced on Carbon TV, Savage YouTube and on the Savage website.

HOIST® Prepares for Big Game Hunting Season with Melissa Bachman

CINCINNATI, Ohio, (July 31, 2024) – In many regions, hunters use the thick of summer to start preparing for a successful hunting season ahead. With this in mind, HOIST®, an innovator in the hydration industry, is excited to collaborate with Melissa Bachman to share hunting preparation tips and highlight the importance of staying hydrated throughout this preparation process.

“Preparing for hunting season is essential for maximizing every opportunity in the field. I like to use time in the summer to set up stands, scout for game and make sure I’m set for success," said Winchester Deadly Passion’s Melissa Bachman. "This means some long days out in the heat, so I’m always looking for the best way to stay energized. The HOIST electrolyte drinks and powder sticks have been a great resource as I move through my preparation list.”

Melissa Bachman’s Key Tips for a Successful Hunting Season

1. Maintaining physical fitness and hydration year-round ensures you can endure long hours of hiking and carrying gear. Bringing a hydration pack on your trek with water and hydration powders like HOIST powder sticks is an easy way to ensure you’re prepared. 

2. Familiarize yourself with local hunting regulations and ensure licenses and permits are up-to-date.

3. Begin scouting well before the season to pattern your game and identify travel routes, bedding areas and feeding locations.

4. When using trail cameras, position the cameras near trails, water sources, scrapes or rubs, fence gaps and on food sources in order to monitor activity of the big game you’re planning to hunt without disturbing their patterns.

5. Learn to identify which bucks hang together in bachelor groups, as they often remain in the same group through the first few weeks of the season. This can significantly improve your odds, as spotting one buck usually means the others are nearby and can be very beneficial when hunting season begins.

6. Planting food plots in late summer can greatly enhance your hunting success by attracting game later in the season and rewarding your early efforts.

7. Use topographic maps and aerial imagery to pinpoint potential stand locations and travel corridors.

8. Whether you are an archery hunter or a gun hunter, use the off-season to practice shooting regularly to maintain and improve your accuracy. Use this time to determine your maximum effective range and understand the limitations of both you and your gear. This prevents the temptation to take shots in the field that exceed your capabilities.

These early season hunting tips can significantly enhance the chances of a successful hunt, and with HOIST IV-Level hydration, hunters can enhance their endurance, focus and overall safety while preparing for a successful hunt. It's important to hydrate properly in order to combat the heat, and prepare for any dehydration symptoms like fatigue, decreased concentration and impaired decision-making. This is essential for enduring long hours discing up and planting food plots, bush hogging, hanging stands or during strenuous activities like scouting and carrying gear.

"We’re thrilled to team up with Melissa and share her expert knowledge on all things big game hunting," said HOIST Director of Marketing Taryn Lawson. “These tips, paired with a ready supply of HOIST flavors like Blaze Orange, are the tools that hunters need to prepare for success this fall. The combination of hydration and preparation is the secret weapon for peak performance and safety in the great outdoors."

HOIST is well-integrated into the hunting and outdoors space. In January, HOIST collaborated with Realtree, leading outdoor lifestyle brand in the hunting industry, to launch the Blaze Orange flavor. Blaze Orange features the citrusy-sweet HOIST original orange flavor and comes in a bottle that’s wrapped in Realtree’s APX pattern.

HOIST IV-level drinks offer quick and refreshing hydration options, available in bottles, powder sticks, and liquid pouches. As one of three electrolyte beverages approved for use by the U.S. Department of Defense, HOIST is a well-known hydration drink that is widely used for its ability to improve performance and maintain peak physical and mental health. Its formula is built to ensure effective hydration and can help hunters be prepared to take to the outdoors for any adventure.
