Back in the Game: Crazy Jim & John's Short Cuts
[LESS INFO] 9 VIEWS | ADDED 05:32:01 10/02/08
In this episode of Hunting with Jim, Crazy Jim and John put the training wheels back on the bike and take a ride around the block. You see, we’ve both been hecka busy with projects that actually pay us the benjamins, so we’ve had to neglect the crap out of our cute little micro-audience online. Our bad. With that said, we’re going to try to scale back a bit on expectations for this site for the short-term and just create a series of what I’m calling, ’short cuts’ - short crazy escapades from the Crazy Jim chronicles. We hope you enjoy …though if you don’t, we seriously don’t give a shit. Seriously. I lie. We love you.

Hoggin' with Phillip
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 19:50:20 08/15/08
Well I hope none of you came down with a bad case of the gout while waiting for me to get off my tardy keester and back to work. But a las, the wait is over, for now, so pipe down you friggin' toothless banchees and enjoy this new video that features Phillip from the Hog Blog .
That's right Crazy Jim isn't in this video. He was on vacation. Ok...actually he got a little too deep into the sauce the night before the hunt; thanks to our generous host, T. Michael Riddle and his Native Hunt's special collection of fine liquors . We couldn't wake him up to save our lives. And believe me, I tried, but waking the crazy one from a deep slumber is about as difficult as doing the the Fox Trot with a corpse. He wasn't budging.
So Phillip, and I headed out with T. Michael * on our mission: to harvest a hog that had been identified to have some undesirable genetic traits that Native Hunt didn't want being passed on to their ranches otherwise Pure Breed Eurasian Wild Boar population. Surprisingly, it didn't take us long to find this hog and it quickly became a rather eventful hunt as you'll see in the video.
On a parallel hunt, our other partner for the weekend and fellow blogger, Holly , headed out with a couple of Native Hunt's professional guides to take down her first ever large game animal. Unfortunately the camera couldn't be in two places at once, but you can read all about her hog hunting escapades with us on her blog, NorCal Cazadora . And from what the guides told me she had quite a shot at over 200 yards. That's a big boo-ya for Holly.
But even if Phillip and Holly's hunts did not turn out so well, it still would have been a pleasure to explore all that Native Hunt has to offer. T. Michael Riddle and his staff have really put together an exciting wildlife experience with populations of animals as diverse as the exotic liquors that Crazy Jim ingested. Thanks Native Hunt . You complete me.
But enough of this typing. No one reads this shit anyways. So site back, rub your gout infested feet and enjoy the hell out of this video because there's no telling when you might see another one.
Respectfully Yours, The Management
* Phillip and T. Michael were actually up just as late as Crazy Jim and they were still able to get up for the hunt. Thus the first recipient of our coveted 'Sally of the Week' award goes to, none other, than Crazy Jim.

The Contemporary Hunter and Blacksploitation
[LESS INFO] 6 VIEWS | ADDED 19:50:23 07/05/08
One doesn't normally associate a critical examination of the Blacksploitation era's influence on contemporary pop-culture with turkey hunting, buy hey, when you're walking around for hours looking for non-existent gobblers, you've got a lot of time to kill. And so this video is just something I whipped up from one of the many strange conversations I've had with Crazy Jim. Enjoy.
Love,the Management
WARNING: This video contains brief nudity (not of Jim, thank god), naughty words and adult situations. Sweet.

Turkey Hunting with Crazy Jim - Part II
[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 21:08:24 06/29/08
OK. So it took us for friggin' ever to get the second installment of Crazy Jim's turkey hunting escapades posted to the glorious halls of the world wide web...but hey, we've got real jobs and junk and sometimes this stuff has to take a back seat. So we at Huntingwithjim.com want to thank the three or four of you watching these videos for your patience and undying love. With that said, we've decided to scale back the turkey hunting series from 3 parts to 2, so we can move on to all of the hot, hog action that's on deck. So in this, the grand finale of the turkey hunting season, you'll get to see just how big the beard on his bird actually is....or is it a beard or a bird at all? Watch and find out!Love, the Managment.

Turkey Hunting with Crazy Jim
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 05:26:37 06/04/08
Well turkey season here in California may have come and gone, but at Hunting with Jim, it's always turkey time. That's right boys and girls, hunters and those who hate hunters' guts...get ready for three, yes three intense turkey hunting episodes! And I don't want to give too much away, but be prepared for so many cliffhangers, plot twists and false peaks that you will forget that future Jack is lame, John Locke is a tard and Los t is done for the season.
So without further ado, I present to the few souls brave enough to hunt with a man named Crazy Jim, Turkey - Part I
* This episode is not brought to you by Perdue , Butterball or Tyson ...but we'd be cool with that.

Crazy Jim's First Deer

Reflections: Crazy Jim's First Deer
Everyone remembers their first time. Their first kiss, their first time drunk ...the first time the New York football Giants spanked that Sally, Tom Brady, and the Patriots like naughty school girls in the Super Bowl. So it is with hunting and your first kill. It's what you've been obsessively planning for, hearing stories about and waking up at the crack of dawn for. But until you actually pull that trigger you don't know how you're going to feel. You're taking a life after all. It is both exhilarating and a moment of pure horror and regret. In this video, Crazy Jim takes me hunting for Black Tail and tells me about his first kill, how it made him feel and why he still goes ape shit for deer season.

Awww Skeet Skeet! Get yo' hunt on!

Today, the word skeet has made its way into the vocabulary of pop-culture as a euphemism for the excretion of reproductive fluid by the male sex organ. But before being bastardized by mavens of urban culture like Crunk rapper Lil' John and comedian Dave Chapelle , skeet had its origins in Scandanavia and literally meant, 'to shoot.' And in 1920 Skeet Shooting was invented by grouse hunters as a competitive way to keep their skills sharp in the off-season.
88 years later skeet shooting is a legitimate competitive sport with tournaments, trophies and its very own ESPN channel (ESPN 125 - you probably don't get it unless you live in the Yukon territory or you have a black box to tap into Russian satellites). And the best part about it - you don't even have to be in shape! So put down that dumb bell, light a menthol and grab a twinky 'cause Crazy Jim is going to show you a few of the skeet shooting basics!

Cleaning Yo' Hunting Piece
[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 04:53:14 05/12/08
One time I borrowed Crazy Jim's fishing waders and returned them a little bit wet on the inside (Shocker - I got his waders wet). Jim tore me a new one for not properly caring for his gear and told me that if I would take time to care for stuff then it would last a lifetime ... Needless to say, I told him to go f*#K himself, but he made his point.
Back to this week's episode - anytime you fire your rifle a highly corrosive film of residue is left in the barrel of your gun. If not properly cleaned , this can lead to rust and you'll notice a pretty significant loss of accuracy. Thus, even more so than waders, it is very important to clean your gun after each day that you've fired it. In this video Crazy Jim shows you the proper way to clean your gun, both inside and out, and how to prep it for storage ...and no - Bore Butter did not pay us to use their product (but we would be cool with that).

Ol' Crazy helps you choose the right gun for the hunt
[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 04:07:38 05/12/08
So you watch a few shows on the Outdoor Life Network and you've got a stack of Fish & Game magazines above the toilet in the half-bath. I suppose that makes you an expert and you're ready to hit the back country? Not quite. First you've got to choose the right weapon for the hunt. Although there are many variables to consider when choosing a weapon the environment in which you plan to hunt is a good way to narrow down your choices. In this episode, Crazy Jim introduces you to his two favorite guns and, in between yelling profanities at the camera man, explains the differences between a weapon built for brush hunting and and one for the open country.
Of course, Crazy Jim is rarely right about anything, so if you don't agree with his recommendation of the 35 Remington for brush hunting, or the Browning A-Bolt 270 Winchester for the open country...well then you can go to hell! Just kidding. We'd love to hear what you would recommend in our comments section.

My first Hunt with Crazy Jim
[LESS INFO] 3 VIEWS | ADDED 03:17:35 05/12/08
The very first time I went hunting with Jim he woke me up at 4:30 in the morning, wrapped me in hand-me-down camouflage and orange and drove me down the north shore of Lake Tahoe to Blackwood Canyon for the last day of deer season. I was expecting to watch Jim fire off several rounds of ammo into an unsuspecting 11-point buck, but instead we sat quietly until noon and then left with the same number of bullets that we came with. I was disappointed and questioned why anyone would spend so much time and obsess over something so much for such little return. Jim just called me a douche bag and taught me a few things about the zen of hunting. Watch this video to see what he had to say.
