Jim has been an award winning outdoor writer, wildlife photographer, videographer, wilderness guide and outfitter for two decades. He has exclusive guiding territories on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, in the wilds of the Yukon Territory, the Sonoran Desert of Old Mexico and the heart of big whitetail buck country in Saskatchewan. Jim has travelled to the remotest, wildest and most beautiful reaches of North America. He has traveled for weeks by dogsled with the Inuit in the high arctic, and climbed the Sierra Madres of Mexico looking for Coues deer. He's spiritually "smudged" with the Beaver Cree and traveled the water roads of the Northwest Territories searching for caribou with the Dene first nations people.
Jim learned tracking skills from the Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in Namibia, learned to live off the land from the Aboriginal people in the Australian Outback and "faced his lion" with the proud Masai warriors in Tanzania. He has taken numerous muzzleloading world records, including Stone's sheep, bison, Roosevelt elk, Shirus moose, muskox, walrus, white-bearded wildebeest, Grant's gazelle, steenbok and more. He is the only hunter in the world to complete the "NORTH AMERICAN SUPER SLAM" and "ULTIMATE SLAM" using only a muzzleloader.
Jim has published more than 1,000 adventure articles in the largest outdoor magazines, produces videos, and hosts his own adventure television show on the Outdoor Channel. Jim is one of the world's foremost experts on the Ethnocentric Folk Art forms from Western Canada. Jim deals in art and antiques, and his collections have appeared in Country Living and Century Home magazines.
