Jim Massett - Living Legends of Deer Hunting (Part 2)

Jim Massett has been hunting the vast Adirondacks in New York since the 1950's, and has taken over 100 mature bucks in his lifetime, most of them by tracking. He carried out many of his bucks by draping them over his shoulders and hauling them on his sturdy 130 pound frame rather than dragging. But the thing that struck me the most, even overshadowing his hunting accolades is the greatness of his character. Jim is a humble man of congeniality, ever willing to downplay his legend to raise up his peers. He's still in better shape than most men 15 years younger and full of life at 86 years old -- and sharper, too!
After our recorded conversation about deer hunting and over a glass of wine at his dinner table, we talked about all aspects of life! We laughed a whole lot. It was a pleasure to get to know him and share that time with him, and I'm hoping many people will get to have a little bit of that experience with Jim at Huntstock this year. Jim's ears perk up and thirst to hear other people's stories which can be hard to find these days.
See Jim at Huntstock this year, August 11-13th at Wildwood Farm in Westminster, MA. Tickets on sale here: huntstockevent...

The key to success is just loving the solitude and being in nature, getting a nice buck is just the bonus. 🇺🇸👊🏼

I'm at Jim by accident. He lives couple miles away from me. And it was to do with deer hunting Bucky found that I'd shot a few days before

[@michaelcobb3713]

I can't wait to try and apply some of the tracking technecs this year when snow fly's.. Learning a lot love listening

Very very intereeting about the does just staying there. I do think jims correct they are tired of being chased. I think they use the hunter to their advantage. Its sometimes the same with a buck he will stand there looking at you if the doe doesnt run. Learned that when i pulled off a miracle and stalked a bedded buck with my bow
