‘Python Huntress’ Partners with Kenda’s Sportsman Wheel – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
NAPLES, Fla. – The Python Huntress, Amy Siewe, has been named spokeswoman for Kenda in an exciting national sponsorship agreement – representing the new Kenda Sportsman Camo Wheel, an American-made steel trailer wheel in the popular True Timber Strata camouflage pattern, according to a release.
Siewe, a fast-growing media celebrity popular with outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, animal conservationists and adventurers, will appear in Kenda’s advertising, promotion and in-store display materials expected to be in major national retailers. The authenticity and audience alignment that she will bring to Kenda makes her the perfect spokeswoman for the Sportsman Camo Wheel as these dynamic wheels provide the strength of regular steel trailer wheels, while empowering the hunter, nature conservationist or outdoors enthusiast to ride in style.
“I’m beyond excited to be the face of Kenda’s Sportsman Wheel in Strata Camo,” said Amy Siewe, the Python Huntress. “Winter Burmese Python hunting in the Florida Islands is demanding and my boat, trailer and F150 are necessary to get the job done. When I am hunting snakes, now I not only use the Kenda Klever R/T KR601 light truck tires on my F-150, but I’ve outfitted my boat trailer with the spirit of the outdoors with Kenda Sportsman Camo wheels and Loadstar Tires. I always ride in style––right down to my wheels––and showcase my love for adventure.”
Available at select U.S. retailers and e-commerce sites, the Sportsman Camo Wheel in the True Timber Strata pattern comes in a variety of sizes—13”, 14” and 15”— and is designed for marine trailers like Amy’s, as well as RV and utility trailers. The wheel can be purchased by itself or assembled with several popular styles and sizes of Kenda tires. Adding the thrill of the outdoors to any compatible trailer, the Kenda Sportsman Camo Wheel ensures an outdoor enthusiast’s trailer is equipped with the best tires and wheels on the market and allows them to showcase their passion for the great outdoors. The Strata camouflage pattern is available on other products—including hunting, fishing and apparel. This means that outdoors enthusiasts can coordinate their trailer wheels with their hunting equipment, vehicles and clothing.
“Kenda tires and wheels are designed for your journey,” said Dave Craig, vice president, general manager, American Kenda Rubber Industries Ltd. “Our new Sportsman Camo wheel series was created for those whose journey includes the outdoors. Partnering with conservationist and outdoorswoman, Amy Siewe, the Python Huntress, takes us to new places and expands our reach into new adventures.”
The Python Huntress takes supporting wildlife into her own hands by removing invasive Burmese Pythons from the Everglades—as they are decimating native animal populations and depleting resources. Her commitment to removing these snakes from the Florida ecosystem demonstrates her commitment not only to native wildlife, but to the snakes that lived in the Everglades before Burmese Pythons appeared in the area. Siewe’s sponsorship agreement with Kenda showcases to a wider audience her overall commitment to the community and culture that comes from loving the great outdoors.
Known as the hunter who took a leap and left her successful real estate business in Indiana to become the Python Huntress, Amy Siewe is the most well-known professional python hunter working to manage the invasive Burmese Python population. Due to their large size (with the potential to reach over 18 feet in length), adult Burmese Pythons have almost no predators, with humans being the only species that can make an impact on this domineering population. They prey on native species—even some that are endangered—and reduce their populations dramatically. Eliminating 98% of native mammals in some parts of the Everglades, these pythons are considered a serious threat to the survival of the ecosystem. This partnership with Kenda aligns not only with her desire to get to where the Burmese Pythons are in style, but also her love for snakes and other wildlife.
The celebrated Python Huntress is a professional python who has captured more than 400 pythons. Her largest catch to date is a 17’3” python weighing just over 110 pounds. She has been featured in a number of national media outlets, including The New York Times, National Geographic, USA Today and on Fox News. She spends her days (and nights) participating in charity auctions, hunting for pythons in the Everglades, creating unique leather products from python skins, guiding private python hunts for clients—but most of all, she encourages others to jump in the direction of their dreams.
About The Python Huntress
Amy Siewe’s career as the Python Huntress began because she had the courage to “take that
leap” and follow her lifelong passion for snakes, her love of adventure, and her desire to make a difference in the world. In 2019, she decided to take part in a python hunt in Florida. She was instantly hooked and made the life-changing decision to sell her successful real estate business in Indianapolis and move to Naples, Florida. Today, she is a professional python hunter, helping manage the invasive Burmese python population. While Amy has a deep love for snakes, these pythons have devastated the ecosystem, eliminating 98% of mammals in some parts of the Everglades. She has been featured in many TV programs, documentaries, magazine articles and podcasts, including The New York Times, National Geographic, Time Magazine, the Today show, Fox and Friends, Fox News and Reader’s Digest. Along with hunting pythons, Amy dedicates her time to educating the public through media interviews, taking other snake lovers on guided python hunts and encouraging everyone to follow their dreams.
