This year for International Women’s Day, we are celebrating the outdoors and those who make it a better place for all. We want to shine a spotlight on some amazing women in the outdoors – leaders, role models, mentors, mothers, sisters, and daughters – by sharing their stories, words of advice and encouragement for other women. We want to uplift and empower all the women who share the outdoors. One of the women we are proud to call our friend at Savage is Simone Schara. This is her story!

Simone Schara

I'm Simone Schara and I have been hunting for 3 decades.  My father introduced me to the outdoors, and it soon became my passion.  I often found myself being the only female in the field.  Which I'm delighted to see is a changing fact in today's world. 

As I consider myself a pioneer of the outdoors, I find joy introducing other women into the sport of hunting or fishing or shooting. May it be mentoring or organizing a trip for us. Even giving seminars at local sport shows encouraging ladies to give what desires them a try.

If you are one of those who's always contemplated.... Go for it!! You never know!

And if you want a little more guidance or encouragement? Find me on Instagram @Simoneschara I'd be happy to help.  Good luck and enjoy your next adventure.
