If it wasn't for Jim's advice and encouragement I wouldn't be casting and reloading today. He took me under his wing and got me started. I'll bet there are many others he has helped.

Jim's a great guy. Every single one of his posts guaranteed to inspire, uplift or entertain. We could sure use more guys like him here.
Jim out there in Virgina does seem like a darn nice guy. I use to live out in Virginia but didn't know of this site back then (maybe it didn't exist). Non the less I still enjoy reading his posts.
I wouldn't know what's going on in Floyd
I love hearing/seeing stories and photo's of things such as a shooting event or the mentoring he does.
Jim...a great American !

If it wasn't for Jim, this site would have less personality. He is one of those guys who will just put it out there for OUR benefit or enjoyment even if it was poking fun at himself. Think purple tights and yellow camo!

Jim, I gotta say you remind me a little of my father-in-law (also Jim). He's a bit older than you (almost 80) but he's currently whitewater river rafting in Alaska on an extended honeymoon with his new bride.
Here's a comment not just for Jim but for all the regulars who "keep it real" here: you all are the ones who give this site the laid-back family atmosphere it has (at least more so than other sites). I don't participate often, but I appreciate the humor and camaraderie here.
Thank you.
One thing about it, them coon huntin virginia hillbillys are all about fashion statements. lol
Dang, I hadn't even realized that there was a truck back there! The first time I saw the pic. I was too dazzled to notice anything in the background!
Jim, you gotta start importing those longjohns! I need a couple of pairs!

I don't know if you guys know this or not, but Jim doesn't carry a gun while coon hunting when wearing his New Zealand hunting outfit. He doesn't need one.When the coon fall out of the trees from laughing, Jim just clubs them with a stick.
Just kidden Jim.

Easier and cheaper that way, you don't need them expensive coon dogs either. They just walk around the woods shining the light on Jim and listen for the coons laugh. Them coons are gettin smarter though and are trying not to look.
Hey, saves money on ammo an' havin' to pack a rifle, right?I don't know if you guys know this or not, but Jim doesn't carry a gun while coon hunting when wearing his New Zealand hunting outfit. He doesn't need one.
Just kidden Jim.
I'm jus' sayin'.....
Happy Birthday! I understand the first 100 is the hardest.
