"In 1984, I was secretly thinking about joining the Big Jim staff, but I thought I'd first pay for a week, just to check the place out...see what all the huss was about.
Sure enough, I bagged an 9-point the first day out (above).  On the second day, Big Jim came to me personally and asked me to come on board.  He'd been growing leaps and bounds, so he needed another hunting expert right there and then.
I've been with the Lodge ever since, and I've seen alot of novices take home some big bucks and huge gobblers. 
Big Jim has twenty or so men and women on the hunting staff, and any one of us would be glad to teach you the fundamentals and/or the advanced details of fun, successful deer and turkey hunting.
I know every inch of the 5,000 acres that the Hawbaker's own, lease, or oversee.  I've done it all - bow, shotgun, rifle, New York, Pennsy, Maine."
