wild tv-Jim Shockey hunt

Another show that I enjoyed was when he took his elderly father to Africa. He was pretty fragile, but Jim and the guides put him in a blind, and looked after him. Pretty nice way to treat the guy that showed you how to hunt when you were a kid. He even went back to show some history, showing himself as a long haired hippy teenager that didn't even like hunting! Funny how things turnaround.

P.S. Let us not forget that on his dangerous game hunts he is ALWAYS backed up by his PH rifle, and if anyone cares to remember the buffalo shot from the truck with all the barrels that could spit lead.....
If you ate to use a single shot rifle and brag about it, use it all the times, without backup

Find a PH that won't back you up in Africa on dangerous game and you'll find one destined to be out of business soon. Dead clients don't attract new ones and PH's would rather shoot your gut shot buffalo than have to track it into the scrub. Unless you're that idiot Mark Sullivan from the "Death at my Feet" series of videos who likes to goad wounded buffalo and hippos into charging him and his clients.

I just got WildTV and the Girlfriend will sometimes watch it with me but I hear her say she hates it because its always on. I have one tv in this apt and its going to be hunting shows or American/Canadian Idol, Some stupid singing show or some other flamming show.

So since im new to this and Mr.Shockey's show is one of the best shows that I watch, Does he come to Canada?

Is there a way we can suggest he visits one of our CGN guides? One that has room for atleast 1000 other CGN'ers to say hi to him lol I can see it now, just like the cell phone commercial. Jim Shockey and guide up front and a thousand orange coat CGNer's "support crew" behind him watching his every move. LOL

I agree that the PH HAS to back the hunter up, but in some instances it purely exposes the inadequacy of the weapon used or the lacking of skill.
Just like hunting elephants with a bow, hunting buffalo with a muzzle loader can only be claimed as such if no other types of firearms are used.
I know somebody that hunts grizz with a bow.... and not from a stand... big cojones...
 
Just cus you can doesnt mean ya should
Fine line between bravery and stup....y. But to each his own. Grizzly bears with a sharp pointy stick......thats why i have a .458 wm.

I like Shockey, I buy every video I can find. His style of deer hunting .."patience pays off" matchs mine. As for sponsership... read his bio. The man has done a lot of differant things. We all gotta make a living somehow..
