A great one for sure.   I use to page through his book over and over and over.  He had a huge impact on bowhunting.  Thanks Felix.

This is truly a loss for the archery world. Prayers for his family and friends. I remember reading and enjoying stuff by him as a young guy. He was a good influence on our world.

RIP Jim, we know you are sitting around that fire with the other greats.
I also remember reading about his hunting adventures years ago. I liked the stories about hunting the islands and all the shot ops they had.

I remember when he was in California, and a regular in Bow & Arrow and other magazines. He wrote stories on predator, deer, goats etc in CA. He was on the Ben Pearson team, and switched from right to left handed. He was a good ambassador for bow hunting. Prayers to the family.

Thought I saw him on some outdoor commercial the other day. Kind of hard to tell as it was a pretty rough looking old man. It hit me who it might have been after it was over and I haven't seen it since. I'll be watching for it again.

I kind of expect to see the show "Bowhunter TV" do something special about Jim. He and M.R.James were great friends.

he was certainly one of my heroes over the years and his writing style was an inspiration to me.

Charlie, I saw the same commercial and thought like you.  I watched it again and was sure it was Jim.  I emailed 'Mossy Oak', to verify if the 'grandfather' in their commercial was in fact Jim.  Haven't heard back yet.  Too little, too late.

shick... thanks! It's nice to know it wasn't just me.
Jim went through a lot of rough times in the last ten years in his fight with cancer. Damn I hate that disease.

I met Jim as a kid when my Dad bought a bow at JDA in Tulsa.  Later he scored a deer for me.  A legion lost.
