I attended Jim Shockey's seminar at the SCI Convention. Mr. Shockey showed footage of his new series "The Professionals". This seems like it will be an excellent show and it will air on the Outdoor Channel about the end of June. Below is a description of the show. Jim Shockey’s The Professionals (series) Launch Date: June 29 Time Slot: 7 pm Plot: Takes viewers into the life of Jim Shockey and his production team as they travel to the world’s most dangerous outdoor destinations. Stars: Jim Shockey Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | ||

Amen to that!!! I've shot 30 of the damn things and I'd love to hunt more any opportunity I get, but........if I have to watch one more whitetail deer hunt on TV I'm going to claw my eyes out!!!!! It's what I grew up doing, so it's like watching paint dry on TV. I'm looking forward to the show.

Let's hope we get to see the show this end of the world. Can't handle too many more of ESPN's re-runs of Johan Calitz - as good as they are !!! | |||

How is this different from his present show? | |||

Does anyone know if Steve Kobrine is part of this show? | |||

Yeah, I saw it in a hotel room in Reno. Different perspective. Rich Elliott Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | |||

I don't mind the white tail show! BUT why do those idiots act like they have runn 5 miles when the shot one there all out of breath the camera man won't stay in focus or zoomes in and out. screw all that just show a hunt a stop trying to be an artist!!!!!!!!!! and stop hunting on petting zoo's | |||

| One of Us |
No, Kobrine is not part of the show. Shockey's son Branlin is producing the show, my ex-partner and good friend, Corey Knowlton, is part of the show however. It's hard for me to explain the difference from his current show, but it is different, I can tell you that. I like the fact that its lots of exciting, international hunting, with big trophies!! | |||
|
| One of Us |
Is it different, Aaron, in that Jim will shoot a real rifle whether bolt or double? I think if someone was a muzzleloading hunter he would use a good representative copy of a plains rifle or Hawken. Just my thought. Dutch | |||

While whitetail hunting is vastly over done, have you ever seen a calling turkey hunt that was any different than the last one? 465H&H | |||

I agree, almost as repetitious as Bass fishing shows. I like Shockey because you see the guy sweating and working his ass off. EZ

gad - don't mention turkey hunt, those shows cause an immediate reaction to the remote buttons | |||

Dutch - I do think Jim will hunt a bit more with a rifle, etc, but don't quote me on that. I've talked to him about it some, but can't say I have a good answer for that. However, I do think you will see more of Corey and other hunters, maybe Jim's clients, that sort of thing, doing a fair bit of the hunting. Again though, that could change so don't quote me. They are trying to make it an exciting, action packed show, with an emphasis on diversity and culture throughout the different places they hunt, but still keeping to Jim's motto, of shooting trophy animals! Corey just asked me on Monday to go to Tanzania with him in 2011 and shoot an episode or two of the show highlighting Tanzania. The episode he showed me at his house in January was from Pakistan, it was AWESOME!!! | |||

Isn't that the truth. That and bass fishing, but turkey hunting is MUCH worse!!!!

There's really no choice as far as Interantional hunting is concerned. It's become impossible to fly with the necessary components for the mzl hunt. I think the main difference in the new show is that it covers a lot of "behind the scenes" videos that the regular show never touches on. Rich Elliott Rich Elliott Ethiopian Rift Valley Safaris | |||

Aaron: Did Corey mention anything about bringing me along as back-up hunter, gun toter, boot polisher, camera battery changer? Just wanting to be of any assistance in anyway imaginable! Dutch | |||

Dutch - That's a good one!!! I will certainly mention it to him, honestly I will. Just don't hold your breath. | |||

All of the JS shows are good and I would suspect the new series will be just as good or better. Larry Sellers SCI Life Member | |||

I enjoy Shockey's shows and look forward to this new one. I love to turkey hunt but will be the first to admit that it does not make a good hunting show. | |||

| One of Us |
I really like Shockey's show, one of the better ones for sure. However this statement is lame:
Seriously...hyperbole much? First ascents on peaks in the Karakorums? Solo paddling the sections of the White Nile above Murchison?? Or comfortable hunting camps perhaps? I have no doubt they will hunt dangerous animals and be in uncomfortbale weather, but really, whose their target audience? 16 year old boys looking for freestyle moto-x entertainment? | |||

Eva posted the trailer and it looks like a winner to me. Should be a very interesting show.

The new episode on Tuesday is scheduled to be hunting Sessee Island Sitatunga in Uganda. From the previews, looks like a very different African hunting show. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

I watched the show the other day on hunting reindeer out on the Aleutians. They did a great job without one Bubba moment. Very professional! Mark MARK H.
