Jim is the creator of several world records. The wildlife photo collection of Jim was published in several magazines. The entrepreneur was honored with International Hunter of the Year.

He created his net worth from multiple sources like hosting, writing, television production, and brand endorsement. The entrepreneur is the greatest hunter of all time. It was not an old mature male. It was mature male but not old enough. The worst part was I had to then turn around and go back and try again that same year. Our dogs were dying, you're slowly dying every day just a little bit of you died.

When you are out on the ice like that and you are exposed living in a little canvas tent in those kind of temperatures. You know that was tough. Terrain, the first backpack bighorn sheep, and dall sheep when I went on in the Yukon back in the early or so. I'd never pushed myself to that limit.

That is when I could have quit or I realized heck I can do this. After seven days and you're eating thousand calories a day and using up four or five thousand calories a day, and you are cold, wet, sleeting, windy, miserable typical Yukon conditions. You know I had to dig deep and deal with it. We carried our water up every single hill we climbed in the mountains there in the Yukon.

They are challenging to say the least. You get to the top and see Rams on a far Ridge. Well, you had to dump all your water go all the way down to the bottom again, take more water and go call up next Ridge. It was mentally tough because of the or challenging terrain, like you mentioned. So that was challenging for different reasons. Even in parts of Pakistan, Iran I have hunted there many times.

China, their challenging because of the civil strife that occurs in those countries. You have to be aware so there's no one particular challenging hunt, they're all challenging. Animal wise - Liberia for the zebra duiker. So there's an animal that I love to go back again. There are many animals like that. The high Andes whitetail. They live up above 14, feet in the Andes in South America in Peru.

I would love to go back there and hunt them. I've tried four times for them. We lost a cameraman on one of the trips. He fell off the cliff and I thought he was dead. He fell 60 feet straight down on rocks. Jim: Yeah, you should ask me the easy question which is what's your easiest hunt you ever been on this? What was the most memorable adventure you've been on and what's made it memorable?

Jim: That is easy. I mean memorable means memory. So for me, anything to do with my family. I remember it as if it was yesterday. Branlin's first black bear.

My father's last whitetail. I can literally talk to you right now and in my mind I'm there with these loved family members sharing that experience. So those are by far the most memorable. The Hunts where you achieve something personal like maybe get a world record or push yourself to the limit. Those are the other memorable trips but certainly I don't hold them anywhere near the place in my memory bank.

I don't hold them in this high regard as the trips I've done with my with any family members and friends too. I guided him and the only thing I managed to get for him was a northern pike. Again, he is such an inspiration as a human being. Just to share time with him was an honor. And certainly, I hold that memory again in high regard than any of my own personal accomplishments on the hunting front.

Jim: Yeah, Jim's doing good. I know he wakes up in the morning happy. I love spending time in the Arctic with our native cultures. They are every bit as traditional and pay respect to their traditions as any of the cultures around the world. The indigenous cultures. In Ethiopia in the Omo Valley with the Hamer and Kara people, that is a spectacular place because in big part because of the cultures there.

Now that was probably 20 years ago and my wife Louise asked me if there's one place that I wanted her to see and she's not a hunter, she'd she was vegetarian when we met. We are truly lady in the Tramp and Beauty and the Beast. We are opposites. Any place that I had been to. That doesn't have the creature comforts that she prefers as Ethiopia the Omo Valley.

She came with me to the Omo Valley just to experience that, and I think it's changed now. I believe, if I'm not mistaken there's been a pile of investment by Chinese companies to dam Omo River where we were, where it was pure wilderness as National Geographic said. Now there's a village of 20, people and big machines. They dammed up the river and I believe I don't even want to go back there now just in case my worst fears are realized that they've destroyed what was such a beautiful cultural place.

In Kazakhstan, no matter where you are around the world, if you're go in with an open mind the cultures are amazing. Yes, the people may dress differently and yes, they have different governments and different beliefs in terms of religion.
