Here I am, 28, depressed and battling thoughts of suicide. I have help and I will never lose this fight. As I sit here and watch, filled with tears, I’m at a loss for words of how amazing this film is. Some great life advice and a whole new outlook. I’m truly blessed beyond belief and while I have people to make proud, I will also make Jim proud. It’s so crazy how someone else’s life, losses, accomplishments & well being can really impact another. To that, I found my second life. Thanks, Jim.
What an honor it has been to bring this project to life. Jim and Branlin are truly inspiring individuals, and we hope this film brings a powerful perspective and sense of purpose. Thank you to Cam for helping to share this incredible story with the world!
Whoa...... that young man in Jims office. " I met the man that did all this". That little man gets it. The most touching part of the film. Go get it, kid. You've got it. 👍🏼
“Mountains are not Stadiums where I satisfy my ambition to achieve, they are the cathedrals where I practice my religion.” ... Anatoli This is a great reflection of what the outdoors means to me, and the passing of that torch to my children. Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. Love Love.
A 76-year-old man cried today. I was totally enjoying the film as I also grew up hunting and fishing with my dad. With the dove in his hands, Jim said, "The eyes"...took me back to my first kills. I can still clearly see in my mind, the eyes of those earliest creatures. Then, there was the sound of rain, yet there was a silence so strong that it broke through the walls I've created to protect my broken heart. There was Nature's beauty and the haunting calls of geese. I cried. Thank you.
my cat once brought home a starling that he had impaled with this teeth. I tried saving it by letting it sit on a stump to regain its breath for a while but it died after 15 minutes. I saw the final thrashing of the birds body before it slowly went completely still. That was my first time encountering something like that and it brought me to tears.
This is the most emotional and moving video I have ever watched. I met Jim and Eva a few years ago at a Bow Tech event. It was a wonderful experience. I was watching Jims VHS videos that I would rent years ago and would always picture myself following in his footsteps. He is an amazing man with no regrets with the life that he has lived. It’s unfortunate that his soulmate is not there to live the rest of his years with him. He definitely set the bar high in the hunting community!
I don’t care who you are. Wheather you’re a hunter or not a hunter. What he just said is the truth and the best advice anyone could ever give to someone else. I could listen to Jim Shockey for hours. Because when he speaks and what he speaks about always has meaning and purpose. Thank you Jim Shockey.
Thanks Branlin, and all who made this very personal glimpse into Jim's life available to those of us that also love the outdoors and have felt that kindred spirit for a significant part of our lives. Maybe because I turn 79 next week, your work helps me to feel less alone as I continue the journey of a hunter's life. Please accept my gratitude and respect.
My father passed just over a month ago. As I wipe the tears from my eyes I just can’t help but to think this was him telling me “its going to be okay, chase your dreams & become that person you’ve always dreamed of” Thank you Jim, what an insightful and awesome human being.
One of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. So powerful and moving. Thanks Jim for always being my hero and to be someone that all of us can aspire to be just like
I’ve been watching this man since childhood, long before RUclips and the internet were even a thing. He understands the woods the way I do, it’s like our sacred place, where our souls truly belong. Our connection to nature goes beyond any religion or human philosophy... It transcends all of that. Jim is such a wise man, last of a dying breed. I’m incredibly grateful for this film.
With dad being gone, I’ve been struggling this hunting season. I haven’t been very motivated to hunt much. I’ve really been just going through the motions. Last season when I shot that Buck, I broke down and cried, missing my father dearly that he wasn’t there to share in the harvest. The hunt is so much more than the harvest. It’s about challenging ourselves. Pushing the limits. And passing on what we’ve learned to the next generation. The documentary has reinvigorated me to get back out there…and see dad again.
My father passed away 13 years ago. He was my father, my best friend and my best man in my wedding. He started taking me hunting before I could crawl, so he always said. Once deer season started we hunted every weekend together. Once he passed I never had the urge to deer hunt without him. I know he would not want that but it hurts to much. I love your story and keep doing what your wonderful father taught you to do.
This was beautiful....Jim is a good man...and has lived 100x the life of most. It's never too late to start living according to his guidance and principles, it's just more limited as we age. Don't waste it. God Bless you Jim!
This is without a doubt, one of the most touching, and personal things I have encountered in my 66 years on this planet. So much of what you said in this film, was taught to me by my own father, who took the time to show me things in the outdoors, and explain a lot of how things lived and died. I admit I became quite emotional watching this, unashamedly so. Thanks Jim.
Who doesn't love Jim Shockey? I grew up watching his adventures and living them through his stories. What a solid character. Thanks to all, it made my day.
Guides that he refused to tip because of what he said was the notoriety they were gaining by getting the privilege of guiding him (that was their tip). That’s who doesn’t love jim shockey
I was just reading a section about art from Rick Rubin, then this popped up. Divine intervention. I have lived 47 years of fear and doubt. I e wasted so many years, but i still have time. Thank you souch for creating this beautiful work of art.
Beautifully done. You can personally feel the emotion in Jims face when he says "I see her". A true man. Thanks to all who put this production together and look forward to seeing more. Keep hammering.
ICONIC doesn’t even begin to describe the JIM SHOCKEY legacy! A true ambassador for hunting and the outdoors. So many amazing lessons in a short film. Thank you
As a teenager, I grew up watching Jim Shockey on TNN Outdoors Saturday mornings that my grandmother would record for me on VHS tapes, because she had DISH, and we didn’t. This is my first time circling back onto paths with Jim. As I’m now 40+ and hitting a stride into my 2nd half of life, this reflection, perspective and trip down memory lane just truly resonated with me. I’ve always just gone 9000MPH and felt immortal and bulletproof, but man…we’re all going to be gone soon. Mad props for extrapolating the lessons nature provides us, and the heightened awareness of our mortality. This has definitely been one of my favorite watches in a long time 🙏🏻
I cried watching this. I learned what Jim is talking about way later in life. Don't waste anymore time and don't let tomorrow steal today....powerful ty......
My heart breaks for you, my brother. Few of us know the connection of a true soulmate. 3 years ago, I nearly lost my wife/best friend to cancer, tough times but she is doing well now. Thank you for bearing your soul to us. This was hard to watch, but worth it in so many ways. "If two people truly love each other, it can never end happily" Ernest Hemingway.
I feel your pain, the hurt and the joy in living. My wife suffered a major heart attack, thought I lost her, then she was revived for a 4th time. And now she's here, with me each night. I'm so blessed. Now I know, how quickly life can stop, where you feel empty inside, unable to vision tomorrow. We take each day as a blessing, not knowing what tomorrow may bring. Your words, so insightful, so true, bringing out the best emotions. "Don't let tomorrow chase away today, make the most of today"! We will, thank you for sharing your life, you're making an positive impact. What a great film, good bless!
This man is a legend! I've watched him all my life. I've inspired to be more like him when i can or remember too. He is absolutely correct in his life messages. Thanks Jim. You touch people more than you know.
Who ever helped Jim in this documentary and video editing what an outstanding job .& Mason is being raised by good parents THE WORLD NEEDS TO SEE THIS &the museum
Very inspiring! Jim is one of the greatest men that will have ever walked this earth. He's lived more than 1000 lifetimes of others. And Louise must have been the greatest wife to support him through all of his journeys! God bless the Shockey family! ❤ 🙏 I've watched you for as long as I can remember, and you've inspired my hunting adventures!
Jim, I have really enjoyed watching you over the years. I’m 74 years old and have experienced many of the same adventures. From growing up in the northwest, living in Alaska and now Texas. I’ve hunted all those places plus Africa. I pray someday you come to know the God and His son Jesus who created everything that we have seen, enjoyed and experienced. Blessings from a fellow hunter and adventurer.
There is a God shaped vacuum inside each one of us. Most of us spend a lifetime trying to fill that vacuum with anything but God. It can ONLY be filled when we surrender our lives to Jesus Christ
Beautiful film capturing the ancestral instincts of us all... Very inspiring. Special tip of the hat to Branlin and crew for including my music in this film. Good hunting out there, friends.
We get so caught up with life and we forget that it’s the people around us today that matter. I struggle with this always looking forward or worrying about the past. This definitely stopped me in my tracks and made me realize just how amazing I have it. Thank you so much for sharing this film. Moved to tears and inspired at the same time. Aim High
Thank you for sharing Jim Shockey in this light...even after watching him for years, I never grasped this spiritual side of him. Truly special, great job Cam and Team!
Watched this three times now and this moves every bit of my body down to my soul Jim is a true legend. Has always and will always be the man. Uncharted is hands down the best show made and I doubt it can be topped. Hats off to his parents for raising this man into the greatest hunting of all time. Waddy sorry but your a super far second
None of us are getting out of here alive.... Today is about the third time i have heard this statement in as many days... Starting to think God is Telling Me that i need to get out and live life... Great story Really gets me to thinking....
What an absolutely phenomenal film. ANOTHER fantastic job by Branlin. I’ve followed Jim’s career from the beginning back in the 80’s and watched him and Louise raise their wonderful children. I now also follow their careers. I can pretty much sum up all I want to say with three words……..thank you Jim.
"Do the things that make you whole." Really great line and I think it is the one thing that stifles many because we do get trapped in the "have to's." When I got sick I realized I was chained in "have to's" but when I was younger I definitely flew my own lane and it is the right all people should have and I hope people realize its how we all live best. The reminder couldn't of come at a better time. Beautiful story.
Truly amazing , such a heart warming show. Jim you are a Great man glad my boy got to shake your Hand and meet you In Yorkton. I thank you for that as it meant the world to him when you signed his hat and chatted with him. Hope to meet you one of these days out at your museum on a family trip. World needs more men like you. I will gladly sit down and watch this again with my son and my Dad. thxs Jim and Branlin.
I can't believe what I just saw. Unbelievable! Thank you for this great work of art. Straight to the heart. So many emotions. Unforgettable! I'm lost for words! Thank you 🙏
Excellent film, starring an excellent human being. I am proud to have hunted with Jim and Guy (and Len!) over 20 years ago and to call them friends. A life well-lived, and which is not done yet!
My Dad taught me all the peace and power that nature has to offer. He passed a few years ago and I’ve found myself falling deeper in love with just being in the moment with the wild. Thank you for sharing Jim’s story. Today, I start aiming high. 🖤
You are a great story teller with passion and it delivers a strong message. The Lord has blessed you with talents that you worked hard to perfect. I respect that.
I cant think of a better film to start my Whitetail hunting season with. This really gets the blood moving. Thank you for the amazing perspective and great story. I have heard cam talk a lot about Jim, its nice to be able to see the stories, not just hear them.
I can remember watching so much of Jim on Television when I was growing up. He's one of the people responsible for me being an outdoorsman. Few men could walk in his footsteps. He's right about hunters. We understand life and death. The cycle we are all a part of no matter how we try to avoid it. Thank you for this film!
22 years old with a full life ahead of me, planning to work as a guide when getting out of college. Watching this gave me nothing but motivation and understanding to “aim high” to do what will make me fulfilled and happy. Great message and video gives me a whole better appreciation for the outdoors.
This was amazing!!! Thank you all that put this together. Jim has been an inspiration in my life. I grew up in the pacific north west I graduated Highschool in early 1990’s. My dad took me hunting before I could even remember. Then I became a hunter myself. Growing up I’d watch hunting shows on tv but they were always whitetail hunting from a tree stand. I couldn’t relate much because I hunted blacktails on pubic land. Then I came across Jim’s hunting shows around 2006. Love watching his shows because it wasn’t always the hunt but the adventure of it all. And the boy at the end of this video talking to Jim brought tears to my eyes. What great advice Jim gave those kids. Hope one day I get to meet you Jim Shockey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Absolutely incredible story! Branlin is so talented at capturing moments and creating a story that captivates you! Well done and thank you Jim for all you have do one for the outdoor industry.
What a Legend and you can see and feel his passion for not just the outdoors but his family. Not sure how some of these guys can have anything negative to say. Well done!
This brought me to tears not because I'm a hunter because I'm not but because I'm proud father of three boys who I teach, mentor and let them experience nature as much as possible. Nature is truly the only power above that will except you, take you and will always welcome you no matter the matter of what it maybe. God bless. And thank you for sharing.
What an awesome message. Jim is a true gentleman and ambassader for the hunting and outdoors industry. He has lived a life most men should have and can only dream of. Oh, but we do have a third life... and it is more spiritual and glorious than anything any of us has experienced here on earth. I do hope that Jim knows this.
I am so grateful I have had the opportunity to meet Jim in person, watching this movie & after following his exploits with my children over the years a thank you isn't enough. Being able to shake his strong hand & to talk about our children & the adventures that we've shared with them was such a highlight to the day we were introduced. I have the deepest respect & admiration for him & his exploits & his family. So a Thank You will have to suffice..
As a 36 year old archaeologist that has traveled and worked all over (everywhere besides Alaska), I really appreciate this. Most PPL wouldn't understand. I hope more people understand, and get out and enjoy. Also, I hope more people care and have respect for nature and learn more about zoology and cultures in different areas such as BC.
You could not have picked a greater person and team. Thank you very much. I’ve spent hours of my life watching Mr Shockey and his team create beautiful art
I've been a fan of Jim's for a very long time. This bright a tear to my eye. Very inspirational!! Thank you Jim and everyone involved in the this production.
This is super powerful! Thank you Jim for sharing your story, Your story and your life has impacted both mine and my dads life, and for that I am forever grateful. Cam thank you for sharing it on your platform. Appreciate both of you.
My friend I remember watching you in my younger years and just the love for life and wilderness and now I’m a father of my own I hope to instill in them the greatness and the importance of the outdoors!
I true my believe in your words about how healing nature is to the soul. As I am now an older man of 52 and am at the stage where older loved ones are starting to pass, I’ve gone back to the peace and tranquillity and healing power that nature offers by the plenty. I recently lost my father and me always thinking I was strong in times like these was taken aback at how much it really messed me up at the same time trying to be strong for the others in my family dealing with the loss. I remember taking my mother out for a nice long drive in the country backroads free of human activity to a beautiful view point just to ourselves and she mentioned as you did that she could see, and feel his presents in the beauty that surrounded us that day and we left that place for home with a soft smile on our faces. A truly healing moment. Thank you Jim for your years of footage and stories for us to be apart of.
I have always been an admirer of Jim, his personal philosophy on life is unmatched. I’ve always felt that people that hunt and live in the outdoors treasure life more, and appreciate the beauty in it.
Here I am, 28, depressed and battling thoughts of suicide. I have help and I will never lose this fight. As I sit here and watch, filled with tears, I’m at a loss for words of how amazing this film is. Some great life advice and a whole new outlook. I’m truly blessed beyond belief and while I have people to make proud, I will also make Jim proud. It’s so crazy how someone else’s life, losses, accomplishments & well being can really impact another. To that, I found my second life. Thanks, Jim.
"Aim High" never look back at
Hang in there. Jim would talk you off the ledge if he could. Challenge yourself and complete the challenge. Big hug. You can do anything.
@@Jaakebooth never, ever give up!
Jesus loves you brother
Keep fighting! You got it! I believe in you
What an honor it has been to bring this project to life. Jim and Branlin are truly inspiring individuals, and we hope this film brings a powerful perspective and sense of purpose. Thank you to Cam for helping to share this incredible story with the world!
Good ol Shocky
Posted my comment before I realized who you were! My apologies my friend! Loving the film so far.
Y'all killed it! Strong work!! Thank you for making such a wonderful film.
@@kinnertubbyson thank you so much!
I am so pumped at the cinematography and story of this haha
Whoa...... that young man in Jims office. " I met the man that did all this". That little man gets it. The most touching part of the film.
Go get it, kid. You've got it. 👍🏼
That kids gonna do some cool things 🙌🏼
Thank you Cam
Incredible. Moved to tears. What a man. The world is losing great men like this. An honor to hear a little about your life.
He’s an awesome person who has so much to pass on.

Glad you enjoyed it 👊🏼
"You do get two lives. The second one starts when realize you only get one life." Well stated.
Great line 👊🏼

@@sonofablitchI was about to send this to you and then realized you just commented on it. 😂
A 76-year-old man cried today. I was totally enjoying the film as I also grew up hunting and fishing with my dad. With the dove in his hands, Jim said, "The eyes"...took me back to my first kills. I can still clearly see in my mind, the eyes of those earliest creatures. Then, there was the sound of rain, yet there was a silence so strong that it broke through the walls I've created to protect my broken heart. There was Nature's beauty and the haunting calls of geese. I cried. Thank you.

Be well.
Be at peace..

I grew up watching Jim Shockey. This tribute to him is beyond words I have to describe. Just beautiful.

He’s an amazing man 👊🏼
Ive always liked Jim as a hunter and enjoyed watching his hunting shows. Now I like and respect him 1000 times more as a person.
He’s an amazing ambassador for the outdoors life we all love.
Why m I crying? So much truth in this whole video pure to the purest form I needed this in my life right now thank yall everyone

Wow. What a beautiful story and film. Thank you all for bringing this to us.
I may be watching this weekly to remind myself how precious life is. Thank you for the story!

Here I am thinking I have life figured out, watching this makes we realize I don’t know a thing. Truly a remarkable man. Well done
Powerful. Jim and Brandin really know how to film and tell a story.
You’re an inspiration Jim. Always loved watching everything you’ve put out. Jealous at the same time. Thanks
So damn good, very well done.
What an absolutely inspiring and humble video. Jim is and always has been a class act. "None of us are getting out of here alive."
Big fan of Jim Shockey watching now
Enjoy 🙌🏼
Thank you Jim for sharing your truth.. it is valuable and courageous..Blessings to you. Sorry for your loss.
Man, hunter or not, this film is impactful. I am glad I spent the time and watched it!
Thank you. We wanted to make something that represents the core of hunters 🙌🏼 No better person than Jim for that.
Nearly 8 billion people need to see this !! Nuff Said !!
Onward and Upward is the Watchword !!
Greatest message I’ve heard in a long time.
We get so caught up with life and we forget that it’s the people around us today that matter. I struggle with this always looking forward or worrying about the past. This definitely stopped me in my tracks and made me realize just how amazing I have it. Thank you so much for sharing this film. Moved to tears and inspired at the same time. Aim High

None of us are getting out of here alive.... Today is about the third time i have heard this statement in as many days... Starting to think God is Telling Me that i need to get out and live life... Great story Really gets me to thinking....
Thank you Cam….. A beautiful life well lived. I needed that.
What an absolutely phenomenal film. ANOTHER fantastic job by Branlin. I’ve followed Jim’s career from the beginning back in the 80’s and watched him and Louise raise their wonderful children. I now also follow their careers.
I can pretty much sum up all I want to say with three words……..thank you Jim.
"Do the things that make you whole." Really great line and I think it is the one thing that stifles many because we do get trapped in the "have to's." When I got sick I realized I was chained in "have to's" but when I was younger I definitely flew my own lane and it is the right all people should have and I hope people realize its how we all live best. The reminder couldn't of come at a better time. Beautiful story.
Well done! Mr Shockey is an incredible man!
Truly amazing , such a heart warming show. Jim you are a Great man glad my boy got to shake your Hand and meet you In Yorkton. I thank you for that as it meant the world to him when you signed his hat and chatted with him. Hope to meet you one of these days out at your museum on a family trip. World needs more men like you. I will gladly sit down and watch this again with my son and my Dad. thxs Jim and Branlin.
Such an awesome piece. Jim is a legend. He always will be. Thank you.
I can't believe what I just saw. Unbelievable! Thank you for this great work of art. Straight to the heart. So many emotions. Unforgettable! I'm lost for words! Thank you 🙏
Thanks for a great comment 🙌🏼
Excellent film, starring an excellent human being. I am proud to have hunted with Jim and Guy (and Len!) over 20 years ago and to call them friends. A life well-lived, and which is not done yet!
My Dad taught me all the peace and power that nature has to offer. He passed a few years ago and I’ve found myself falling deeper in love with just being in the moment with the wild. Thank you for sharing Jim’s story. Today, I start aiming high. 🖤
Wow! Ever hunter or non hunter should watch this, truly incredible journey for Jim!
You are a great story teller with passion and it delivers a strong message. The Lord has blessed you with talents that you worked hard to perfect. I respect that.
I cant think of a better film to start my Whitetail hunting season with. This really gets the blood moving. Thank you for the amazing perspective and great story. I have heard cam talk a lot about Jim, its nice to be able to see the stories, not just hear them.
WOW! Truly Inspirational. Thank you for having the strength and courage for sharing.
I can remember watching so much of Jim on Television when I was growing up. He's one of the people responsible for me being an outdoorsman. Few men could walk in his footsteps. He's right about hunters. We understand life and death. The cycle we are all a part of no matter how we try to avoid it. Thank you for this film!
Absolutely amazing!! Hard not to get emotional!! This world needs more Jim's in it!!! Thank you
This video is awesome! I’m hooked for real!
22 years old with a full life ahead of me, planning to work as a guide when getting out of college. Watching this gave me nothing but motivation and understanding to “aim high” to do what will make me fulfilled and happy. Great message and video gives me a whole better appreciation for the outdoors.
God bless you Jim, Eva, Louise, and Branlin! Thank you.
This was amazing!!! Thank you all that put this together. Jim has been an inspiration in my life. I grew up in the pacific north west I graduated Highschool in early 1990’s. My dad took me hunting before I could even remember. Then I became a hunter myself. Growing up I’d watch hunting shows on tv but they were always whitetail hunting from a tree stand. I couldn’t relate much because I hunted blacktails on pubic land. Then I came across Jim’s hunting shows around 2006. Love watching his shows because it wasn’t always the hunt but the adventure of it all. And the boy at the end of this video talking to Jim brought tears to my eyes. What great advice Jim gave those kids. Hope one day I get to meet you Jim Shockey. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you for watching. Jim is a true inspiration and captures the truth of who we are as hunters.
Absolutely incredible story! Branlin is so talented at capturing moments and creating a story that captivates you! Well done and thank you Jim for all you have do one for the outdoor industry.
What a Legend and you can see and feel his passion for not just the outdoors but his family. Not sure how some of these guys can have anything negative to say.
Well done!
This brought me to tears not because I'm a hunter because I'm not but because I'm proud father of three boys who I teach, mentor and let them experience nature as much as possible. Nature is truly the only power above that will except you, take you and will always welcome you no matter the matter of what it maybe. God bless. And thank you for sharing.
You are a very great man Jim, all you have seen and done is a huge inspiration for many people around the world. Thank you 🙏🏼🇩🇰
What an awesome message.
Jim is a true gentleman and ambassader for the hunting and outdoors industry.
He has lived a life most men should have and can only dream of.
Oh, but we do have a third life... and it is more spiritual and glorious than anything any of us has experienced here on earth. I do hope that Jim knows this.
I am so grateful I have had the opportunity to meet Jim in person, watching this movie & after following his exploits with my children over the years a thank you isn't enough. Being able to shake his strong hand & to talk about our children & the adventures that we've shared with them was such a highlight to the day we were introduced. I have the deepest respect & admiration for him & his exploits & his family. So a Thank You will have to suffice..
As a 36 year old archaeologist that has traveled and worked all over (everywhere besides Alaska), I really appreciate this. Most PPL wouldn't understand. I hope more people understand, and get out and enjoy. Also, I hope more people care and have respect for nature and learn more about zoology and cultures in different areas such as BC.
You could not have picked a greater person and team. Thank you very much. I’ve spent hours of my life watching Mr Shockey and his team create beautiful art
Man Jim moves me every time he speaks thanks so much Jim!!! So happy i had time to meet him at shot show one year and shake his hand!
One of the best and most inspiring films I have seen in a long time. Thank you. Truly nature is the most peaceful place on earth.
I've been a fan of Jim's for a very long time. This bright a tear to my eye. Very inspirational!! Thank you Jim and everyone involved in the this production.
This is super powerful! Thank you Jim for sharing your story, Your story and your life has impacted both mine and my dads life, and for that I am forever grateful. Cam thank you for sharing it on your platform. Appreciate both of you.
My friend I remember watching you in my younger years and just the love for life and wilderness and now I’m a father of my own I hope to instill in them the greatness and the importance of the outdoors!
I true my believe in your words about how healing nature is to the soul.
As I am now an older man of 52 and am at the stage where older loved ones are starting to pass, I’ve gone back to the peace and tranquillity and healing power that nature offers by the plenty.
I recently lost my father and me always thinking I was strong in times like these was taken aback at how much it really messed me up at the same time trying to be strong for the others in my family dealing with the loss.
I remember taking my mother out for a nice long drive in the country backroads free of human activity to a beautiful view point just to ourselves and she mentioned as you did that she could see, and feel his presents in the beauty that surrounded us that day and we left that place for home with a soft smile on our faces. A truly healing moment.
Thank you Jim for your years of footage and stories for us to be apart of.
Powerful! Inspiring! Heartbreaking - in a good way! Thank Jim, Branlin and Cameron! My deepest respect! ❤️
I have always been an admirer of Jim, his personal philosophy on life is unmatched. I’ve always felt that people that hunt and live in the outdoors treasure life more, and appreciate the beauty in it.
