MeatEater Acquires Dave Smith Decoys
BOZEMAN, Mont., May 24, 2023 (Newswire.com) - MeatEater, Inc. announced today the acquisition of Dave Smith Decoys (DSD), an industry leader in ultra-realistic hunting decoys and gear. The move marks the company's newest strategic acquisition in high-performance outdoor products, following the company's acquisition of technical hunting apparel brand First Lite in 2019, FHF Gear in 2020, and Phelps Game Calls in 2021.
For more than two decades, DSD has brought the most realistic and effective decoys to market with an uncompromising commitment to realism, quality, and customer service. DSD specializes in creating turkey, waterfowl, and deer decoys that blend seamlessly into the wild spaces DSD's customers explore and hunt. From life-size, incredibly detailed, full-body whitetail deer to a full-spectrum of hen and gobbler turkey poses to nearly every species and subspecies of goose that's hunted around the world, DSD is known for creating poses and finishes that flat-out work in the field. MeatEater will aim to expand the company's offerings and bring its unique products to a larger customer base.
"We have a track record of bringing trusted brand partners into the MeatEater fold and helping them expand their products and reach," said MeatEater founder Steven Rinella. "I've been using DSD for a bunch of years. Their decoys are high-quality and look more realistic than anything on the market. When we had the chance to introduce even more people to this exceptional brand, we jumped at it."
"With our commitment to making ultra-effective decoys in mind, and our passion for conservation and ethical hunting, we would only agree to a partnership with a company who we feel we are aligned with in all these things. In MeatEater, we have found that partner," said Dave Smith, DSD founder.
"Maintaining the quality of our products is a top priority to all of us while simultaneously promoting hunting in a positive light to preserve our hunting heritage," added DSD co-owner Brad Cochran.
Under the leadership of Smith and DSD co-owners Cochran and Greg Hogan, DSD will continue to expand its line of premium "A.C.E. Decoys" in its Oregon-based plant as part of this new venture. "We have some great new products in the works and we're excited to work with the MeatEater team to bring these to market," said Greg Hogan, co-owner and manager of operations for DSD.
The acquisition of DSD follows last week's appointment of Jason Bergsman as CEO of MeatEater, Inc.

Stinger Sports’ New Batting Glove Technology Wins Prestigious Award at Annual ABCA
Stinger Sports Durable Batting Gloves
Stinger Sports creates the most durable batting gloves for baseball and softball players
FORT MILL, S.C., January 29, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The issue of batting gloves ripping during play has plagued baseball and softball players of all ages for decades. It seems that the issue has only grown in recent years as the price of batting gloves continues to rise as durability declines. Stinger Sports CEO Brandon Eaton set out to change this trend with the invention of the Award-Winning Secure Seam Technology. The patent-pending Secure Seam creates a reinforced seamless layer that reinforces the area where the vast majority of batting rips occur. This has been proven to more than double the life of batting gloves.
"As a baseball player and softball Dad myself, I know how frustrating it is to have batting gloves rip after just a short period of time," Brandon said. "We wanted to create a premium glove that would last longer and offer it for an affordable price. It's all part of our mission as a company to make the great games of baseball and softball more affordable by making quality gear accessible to more people."
The new batting glove technology was recently awarded the 24th Annual Best Of Show Award by Collegiate Baseball during the 2023 ABCA Convention in Nashville, TN. Baseball and softball players using the Stinger Batting Gloves across the U.S. have been reporting impressive longevity and durability. The revolutionary gloves range from $29.99 - $39.99 and can be purchased directly from the Stinger Sports website StingerSports.com.
