Expertise

HUNTING

Biographical

Jim has always been a friend of the common man where many of his hunts have been on public land, and he has made it a priority to help others plan hunts to unfamiliar places. He follows his heart to places in the outdoors with a keen perspective to keeping his travels within reach of most folks. He champions ethical hunting, and is continually reinforcing his beliefs that more youngsters be introduced to hunting. He believes the single biggest threat to hunting is that the average age of America's hunter is getting increasingly older. Jim also is focusing on taking severely injured soldiers on no cost hunting trips, a program he began three years ago. His career objective is to share the excitement, the successes and failures, as well as solid how-to advice to make your experiences fulfilling and successful, whether you squeeze the trigger or not.
