VERSIONS OF THIS BILL
TO RECOGNIZE AND HONOR CANADA'S JIM SHOCKEY, AN AWARD-WINNING OUTDOOR TELEVISION CELEBRITY, FOR HIS COMMITTED FUND-RAISING EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF CANADIAN AND AMERICAN SERVICEMEN AND WOMEN.
Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn of outdoor television celebrity Jim Shockey's dedicated labors in support of Canadian and American military personnel; and
Whereas, born in 1957, Jim Shockey is a Canadian outdoor writer, professional big-game outfitter and television producer, and host for many hunting shows. He is the producer and host of Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures and Jim Shockey's Uncharted on the Outdoor Channel and Jim Shockey's The Professionals on the Outdoor Channel and the Sportsman Channel; and
Whereas, further, he is an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces, serving the rank honorary lieutenant-colonel of the 4th Canadian Ranger Patrol Group. His hunting adventures have spanned six continents and fifty countries, and he has taken over three hundred sixty-seven big-game species. Jim Shockey has been called by Outdoor Life magazine "the most accomplished big-game hunter of the modern era, having taken arguably the most free-range big-game species [of] any living hunter." The magazine also noted that he is "the most influential celebrity in big-game hunting"; and
Whereas, on December 2-3, 2018, many fans of Jim Shockey joined him for the Jim Shockey Classic: Military Tribute Golf Tournament, held at Grande Dunes Members Golf Course in Myrtle Beach. This tournament, like other Jim Shockey events, raised funds to help send servicemen and women on exciting hunts. Jim decided several years ago to focus his efforts on honoring American and Canadian military personnel, who help protect these great neighboring countries. He and his organization accomplish this by doing what they do best: They take veterans on all-expense-paid trips to world-class destinations. They have partnered with the charity Freedom Hunters to help find the best candidates and send them on these once-in-a-lifetime hunts; and
Whereas, grateful for his devoted work to honor our two countries' military personnel, the House takes great pleasure in saluting Jim Shockey and in wishing him much success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:
That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize and honor Canada's Jim Shockey, an award-winning outdoor television celebrity, for his committed fund-raising efforts on behalf of Canadian and American servicemen and women.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to Jim Shockey.
