There are few hunters who’ve had as many relentless adventures as Jim Shockey, which is why we were excited to sit down with him at the Safari Club International trade show to discuss his storied career. From male modeling to releasing his first music single last year, the 2019 Weatherby Award winner has just about seen and done it all. In fact, Outdoor Life magazine named Shockey “the most accomplished big-game hunter of the modern era, having taken arguably the most free-range big game species by any living hunter.” Subjects Discussed: making music; how he got started as an outfitter; what the hunting life means to him; hunting advocacy; and more.
