Randy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I kind of like the guy. He has killed some massive bucks and bears. I like his show especially the part where they show that old footage. Too each their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beagleboy Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I like the guy as well. I enjoy his articles which happens to be the last page of North American Hunter magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogdoc Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I think the guy is a stud. Here is a man that has his own guide service and a heck of a hunter. IMO the man has earned the title of one of the best all around hunters on TV today. todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohiobucks Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? Got to agree with the others on this one, Jim's hunting show is one of my favorites. The guy is on trophy animals everywhere he goes, it amazes me. He is the guide as well, he puts people on these animals, not the other way around like alot of hunting shows. He is the MAN!

Adjam5 Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? Shockey is a very accomplished hunter. I like his basic approach to hunting, not too much fanfare. He seems like a regular guy. His articles in the NAHC mag are good too. MOF, I just picked up a 1lb container of his Jim Shockeys Gold powder for my smokepole. I can't wait to try it.

DowninWhiteys Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? Count me as one who likes Jim. I agree too that he seems like a "regular Joe" that I can relate too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Andrus Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? Jims a real nice guy, met him a few years back at the Shot show. We sat on a realtree couch and just talked hunting . Gotta a dry sense of humor, funny. tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superguide Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? Tiger Williams the toughest guy to ever lace them up in the NHL told me over coffee that Jim is the toughest guy he's ever hunted with. He's just a good old Sask. boy who made good-he was an OLympic class water polo player in college. Of all the 'famous' players in the hunting biz Jim is numero uno in my books. I love it when he shows his screwups-the guy not afraid to show he's human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I like him, but I lost alot of respect for him when he switched from Knight to T/C rifles. For how many years he claimed Knight had the best gun on the market, then the next T/C has the best gun. That tells me hes in it for the money. Good hunter though.

ruttinbuc Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I wish I could afford one of his hunts! He is one of my favorites also. His shows are well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I am with the author....now I have never met Jim and haven't watched him much... But something about him just rubs me the wrong way. I can't even express what it is. Prolly a good guy though. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJL Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I'm a huge fan of Jim, love his work. If you ever see Mrs. Shockey..................You'd know what "better-half" means. Hubba-Hubba JJL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] And do you work for free? Do you turn down money when it's thrown at you? Do you ever change your mind? If you answered yes to all 3 of these questions then I can see your point but if you answered no to all of these questions then you my friend are normal and so is Shockey! Besides, T/C has a relatively new type of gun that is very adaptable to your needs where as Knight is not. Just use your brain when you cut down a guy because he changed endorsements. It happens to every Pro Hunter out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEIOWAARCHER Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I on the Don't like side. He rubs me the wrong way and never took him as a serious sportsman. Get the same felling about hima s I get about Hank Parker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OUTSIDER Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? my favorite shockey episode was when he took his father on a bear hunt, i guess his dad could not see very well out of the scope....to make a long story short the bear dang near stepped on jim and his dad. I too like his down to earth approach, unlike some who have 10 minutes of their show dedicated to sponsers. Keep up the good work jim!

wtnhunt Posted November 1, 2006 Report Share Posted November 1, 2006 Re: Jim Shockey?? I like Shockey. Have never gotten the impression that he was conceited in any way. Some others though that I do kind of feel the same way as you about them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
