JACT Hunting

James true - why do you hunt?

I hunt for a few reasons, the first & foremost is because of my dad. I grew up watching him hunt in Alaska where his passion for the outdoors was instilled into me. Looking back at that time (1970’s), my dad would leave for a couple of weeks with his buddies to hunt the Alaskan bush. They would all return, tags filled & coolers full of meat. Our garage would become a small meat processing plant & no part of the animal was wasted.

I realize now this was a way for my dad to stretch our budget… with the cut & wrapped meat filling the freezer for the year. This was an important addition to providing for the family on top of his career.

I’ve always loved being in the woods & hunting. It’s a connection to my dad & it also has a way of inspiring my senses… the coffee tastes better & what should feel like hard work isn’t hard at all. Hunting is something we enjoyed doing together and is now a way for me to remember him.

Cara True - why do you hunt?

I was not raised in a hunting home, in fact quite the opposite. My parents did not own guns & could never kill an animal. They did love to camp & spend time outdoors which were my favorite childhood memories.

As a teen I observed my uncles buck trophies, bear rugs, duck & goose decoys while listening to their animated hunting stories & I started to wonder about these great adventures.

In 2010 James Jack True renewed my dream to hunt. I bought my 300 Winchester short mag in 2013 & together we prepared for the day I could tag an elk.

That day came on Nov 1st 2017 - opening day of cow season. At 4am we were up & drinking coffee and preparing to walk out to the blind when we saw multiple shooting stars streak across the sky… the planets were lining up!

Shortly after 8am James spotted 3 cows on the hill across from us. I sighted in & pulled the trigger for my first kill at 220 yards. She flinched & disappeared in the dense trees but we found her down within about 30 minutes. It was a great day! One for one!
