Scent-Lok

How do I become a legend like yourself?

Well first off I’d like to say that I’m a legend in my own mind first and foremost…that’s where you have to start.  If you don’t believe in yourself, then your letting yourself down.  Secondly, LEGEND is a compound word coming from the Dutch word, LEGGINGS…. LEG, meaning “to stand” and END, meaning “not the beginning”.  In simple English it means, “don’t stand at the end of the line, or you’ll never be a winner”.

How may pounds do you pull?

About 252.  You see, I take to heart the words of my good ol’ Dad when he said  “either get out of my house, or start pulling your own weight around here”.  I’ve obviously increased over the years.

So, I know I have to spray down with Scent-Lok and fill my pockets with other Dead Downwind products, but I have a problem. My hunting buddy has a case of the stanks and I don’t know how to tell him tactfully. Ms. Manners says to ignore it, but he smells worse than a fresh steamy pile from my hunting dog Jorge d’ la Duc. How do I get him to embrace the Scent-Lok, Jimmy?

Lackey is the same way, leaving steaming piles everywhere….ohh, um your buddy…yeah…um…..tell him that smelling bad is a new and hip trend that’s all the rage in France, and any hunter worth his salt knows that you don’t want to be like the French.  He’ll change right quick.

What the heck is that on Lackey’s neck?

It’s a lump from where Chuck hit him with a sling shot.  A painful/embarrassing reminder that, even though Chuck may be a crappy cameraman, he’s a force to be reckoned with when it comes to “acorn assault tactics”.

Hi Mr Bigtime! I’m going hunting with my husband and he doesn’t use stands. He drags me up and down cliffs in the mud and rain (we live in western Oregon) and through brush 2 feet taller than I am. We will walk & run for hours. How do I get rid of him so I can kick back & relax during my hunt. Oh, & I want a massive elk too!

I think maybe he’s trying to get rid of you!   Dragging you up and down cliffs sounds like…”wanting you to slip and fall to your doom”.  Trying to lose you in the tall brush.  Wearing you down by running for hours.  Say this… “you don’t need to be so gung-ho.  It’s not always about you, think of me once in a while.  If I’m not enjoying myself, and I’m not, you won’t be enjoying yourself either.” (raise your eyebrows at this point).  He will get the picture.

What is it like to be at the top of the Hunting World, with millions of fans wanting to be like you? Heck it used to be everyone wanted to be like Mike, but now its everyone wants to be like Jimmy.

I’m glad someone understands my heartache…It’s refreshing to hear.  I’ll give you an example of what I have to go through and how I’m looking out for the “up and coming” stars in the hunting world.  I was invited to go to a shindig put on by some “up and comers” in the Hunting TV world.  (Let’s just say they call themselves Freaks)  I decided to pass…why may you ask?  Not because I thought I was better than them,  but because when I walk into a room the flash bulbs go off and everybody is ooohing and ahhhing.  I didn’t want to draw the attention away from them at their own party….being at the top has made me humble.

My girlfriend is to scared to climb into the hang on tree stands cause she thinks she’ll fall… What do I do?

She’s absolutely right, it’s scary as heck!  Be a good boyfriend and put her stand about 3′ off the ground….below yours…on the backside of the tree….covered with a ground blind…with heat….and a TV.

JBT what does penguin taste like?

I’ve not dabbled into the finer cuisines of the North Pole, but I would guess it would be like a “fishy” chicken, or maybe frozen turkey.

Ok, dove season in texas and the wind is blowin 30 mph but the birds are still flying do i keep shooting no.8 shot or step up to no.6?

If you can, position yourself with the wind to your back and keep shooting the No. 8.  The wind will actually give the bb’s more stopping power.  If you are shooting against the wind, try a slug.

What attractant would you recommend? I have only 2 acres but, I’ve shot 15 pandy’s off it.

Actually one handcrafted by Lackey.  He takes peepee from 12 does, on 12 different diets, from 12 different areas of the country.  In an blending facility 12 miles under ground he spends 12 hours a day, for 12 days and comes up with this really stinky stuff.  I don’t know if it’s available on the the market yet.  Maybe in 12 months or so, it’s called  Eau De Estrus No. 8. (thought it would have been No. 12 didn’t you…me to…that’s lackey for you)

How did you get your start in the hunting industry?

Well lets face it, the hunting industry basically started with me, so I suppose somewhere around the time I started hunting.  Before me it was just plain hunting.  You went out bagged an animal, skinned it and ate it.  When I came on the scene the whole thing changed.  Now with my ideas and influence you can go in your electric 4-wheeler, your scent control clothing, your perfectly planted food plot, get up in your awesome treestand, with your cool looking bow…the list goes on and on.  Now believe it or not, I didn’t invent the television, but I did introduce the world to “TV hunting”.  Not just regular hunting, but “Jimmy Big Time” hunting…the best kind of TV there is.  That’s why I’m #1 when it comes to outdoor television.  All these other folks are good and I’m not knocking their talent, but when the industry wants the inside scoop to what’s hot…they come to me.

When you’re scouting for a new stand location what kinds of things do you look for?

I look for deer…duhh!

Who taught you how to hunt?

I’m totally self taught.  Actually when I was born I came out screaming “BIIIIIGGGG TTTTIIIIMME”, the doctor slapped me and I was instantly gifted with the art of hunting, fishing and all things outdoors.  It was really a spiritual awakening of sorts that gave me a kind of “5th sense” about when and where game will be.  Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to say that I’m a hunting God or anything like that, but you can if you want, I’m more of an antenna that sends and receives information.  For example, if a deer is in my vicinity I know that he is coming and he knows that he needs to come.  It really makes hunting easy for me.

Do you ever find yourself getting nervous or suffering from buck fever?

I never get nervous.  In fact it wasn’t a deodorant company that came up with the phrase “NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU GET NERVOUS,” it was me.  As far as buck fever, I think I had it once.  I was staring down this 220 class monster and decided to pass, when I suddenly had this burning sensation.  I’m not sure if it was buck fever or TexMex at Juan’s Spicy Pepper and Gift Shop.

What was it about Lackey that caused you to hire him?

I needed someone who believes in the “Big Time” to be at my side.  You see, it’s lonely at the top when you’re me and finding someone who is faithful is tough.  I had other assistants that were in it for the fame and glory, but not Lackey.  Heck, he told me once that he loved his job so much that he didn’t need to get paid.  Now even though I took him up on that offer for a few years, I found it in my heart to throw him a bone once in a while.  Actually he is like a dog…faithful, true, loves his master, works for bones and occasionally piddles on the carpet.

Do you think you will ever get married and settle down?

Why do you know someone?  I mean, maybe.  Right now I’m like a traveling hobo out on the open range, never staying at one town too long.  That’s no life for a wife.  Heck, that’s no life for anyone…how did those hobos do it, living in boxes and cars, not knowing when there next meal is coming from.  Kind of sounds like Chuck. Once I find a woman that can hunt, fish, run a camera, edit television shows, has a trust fund and is not too bad on the eyes, in that order of course, I’ll fire all my employees and see how she works out.  Then we’ll talk about a prenuptial…I mean marriage.

How often do you practice shooting your bow?

Practice?…I am gifted with the art of everything outdoors, this includes shooting a bow. I don’t need to practice. Usually I just have Lackey shoot my bow a few times before each trip. I trust him to make any adjustments that are needed. Once the bow gets in my hands it’s all over for the critter. To tell you the truth I don’t even aim, the arrow just always knows where to go.
