Our History…
How Bob and Jay came to be!
Bob and Jay, Huntin’ Buddies, began their joint hunting experiences when Jay, the owner of Buffalo Mountain Ranch in Texas, reached out to Bob, owner of BowhuntingInfo.com from Michigan for help with a rogue Bison Bull on his ranch. Bob was able to help with a crazy hunter willing to get close enough to shoot that bull with a stick and a string.
After that auspicious meeting Bob and Jay hit it right off. Jay, not really knowing Bob, made the mistake of inviting Bob on an Elk hunt which took Bob probably all of three seconds to accept. Jay hasn’t yet figured out how to dis-invite Bob, so he is forced to endure nearly endless days each year in Bob’s presence. About the only redeeming factor about Bob was that he introduced Jay to Pat McManus’s stories.
At the end of each fruitless day of elk hunting Bob and Jay would take turns reading those stories to each other and raising their spirits upon finding out there were worse hunters than themselves. When they had exhausted all of the McManus books, Jay chortled that, “Hey, some of the things you do while we are hunting are nearly as funny as those stories. Maybe I should chronicle your escapades.”

Well, the rest is history, as they say. Jay and Bob have written over 27 short stories about some of their escapades. These encompass trips into the wilds of northern Canada, the mountains of the great Rocky Mountains, and into the cactus strewn land of Texas.
Bob and Jay say that the things they write about could not be made up – they just happen. And every hunter has had experiences that might seem a bit familiar. So step on in, take a gander at one of our stories and let us know what you think.
Look for our first book, The Proper Care and Feeding of a Huntin’ Buddy, now available at Amazon and books stores everywhere.
