I know Jim pretty well, and have known him before his TV show ever started. He's not only a good guy but a very hardcore hunter. He grew up hunting in Saskatchewan, but eventually moved to British Columbia because of its greater variety of big game, which is where he started his outfitting business. He started writing for various magazines but eventually got into TV, which really suits his talents. His TV shows are one of the few bright lights in that business. Couldn't agree more. I had the pleasure of introducing myself to him at DSC 2015 as he was strolling down the aisle. We must have talked for 15 minutes. Helluva nice guy it seemed, and I like his TV shows as well.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Shockey and mark and terry drury are some of the only decent celebs in the hunting game. I like Rodger Ragland as well. I've met most of the other big names but those are the best of the bunch I was along for filming for MAD calls years ago. It was my eye opening that almost everything filmed is pieced together totally fake BS. Soured me from that day forward. I"d have much rather them filmed what happened and shown that. But its all about money. And so it goes. That's for sure. We had two of our antelope hunts filmed for a show on Spike TV a few years ago, and everything was bassackwards for sure. FWIW, Michael Waddell is a fraud.

Not the Mack Daddy! Can't stand him. Shockey seems like the real deal and fine man.

Art,
I was on a bear hunt in Alaska a few years ago with Scott Haugen. I knew who Scott was before we met and liked what I knew, but getting to know him was better. Scott and I with another poster from here spent the departure day together and I took him to your/the hotel (Millennium, now Lakeside or some such thing). We waited around for you a bit but you were the last one flying in that day and we had to split before you got in.

Too bad! We could have had an interesting time.
That was a good hunt. Or at least my part was. Supposedly it was just going to be black bear, but somebody cancelled a grizzly trip while we were there, and I got to go instead--and in between the black and grizzly hunts got to do some flyfishing.
