Growing up one of Jim’s favorite memories is fishing with his father and brother, camping out at Meramec Springs or Bennett Springs and trout fishing, occasionally heading out to the Danville Conservation area for some small game hunting. Jim’s passion for whitetail hunting struck him a few years ago after some persuasion from his Brother in law, which he says is amazing, because he normally has a hard time sitting still but can sit in a tree stand for hours and be completely intent. Someday Jim wants to travel west to hunt the majestic Rocky Mountain Elk, but bow hunting in general is an obsession for Jim. Being a part of the Heartland Hunters Pro Staff has enabled Jim to arrow his largest buck ever, a Pope and Young giant.
