See What Jim Shockey has to say about his ARGO’s!
Thursday, October 11, 2007
Jim Shockey has an online Blog on his Web site at www.jimshockey.com to record his hunting adventures as he travels around the world. His trusty traveling companion, the 8 x 8 amphibious, all-terrain ARGO vehicle, gets him through all kinds of challenges. After an exciting moose-hunting expedition, Jim told us about the advantages of having the ARGO at the site.“The ARGO's are working magnificently. We had to cross the river again on our way back and got swept away again. We started taking water in the back end because we were loaded so heavily with the moose. Thank goodness for the Argos being amphibious and floating. Amazing adventure! The Otter came in and picked up all of my moose meat and took off. My moose will be hanging in a cooler by this evening after being alive and walking around less than 24 hours ago. You could never do that with horses. Thanks Argo!”

In the next entry Jim explains how he and his team wouldn’t have made it back to Bush Pig Camp without the ARGO!“I was Captain Bligh screaming at the guys to pole, we had some poles in the ARGO, and we were able to get far enough across where the wheels touched and the big ARGO powered us right to shore. Amazing machine. If we weren't loaded to the hilt with all of our gear, I could hang an outboard on the back for river crossings!”

While exploring remote hunting locations around the world, Jim always relies on his ARGO, even in mountainous country.“Oh, I know that I've said this before, but my Jim Shockey Signature ARGO's are incredible. Hate to brag, but these machines are worth bragging about. We took them right to the TOP of some of the mountains. It's amazing the power that they have. It seems like there is no stopping them. Thank you ARGO! I'm glad that they're a sponsor of our show and that we're able to utilize these tanks here in our camps. Beats horses!!”

Jim Shockey is proud to have his name on the Jim Shockey Signature Series ARGO because he knows first-hand the great value and advantages it offers to hunters.“We're going to go to spike camp tomorrow to get that all set up for the Potterfields, and we'll be taking the two ARGO's, including my new Jim Shockey Signature Series ARGO, which is excellent. We brought two of my Signature machines into camp this year, and the guides, too, are really impressed. Way more power than the standard ARGO's, more comfortable, more features. Just a huge advancement. If you want one of your own ... you can reserve one at our Shopping area. Every hunter should have one of these!”
