Jim Riley
Jim Riley brings well over a decade of professional guiding, outfitting and hunting and fishing consulting experience to the Global Sporting Safaris Team.
Jim’s life in the outdoors began in Minnesota. Known as the Land of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota was a great place to begin a life as an international hunting and fishing consultant. Jim grew up in Maplewood, a suburb of St. Paul, and an area known for its outstanding fishing. Many summer days found Jim riding his bike to the nearest lake, pond, or river to chase sunfish, crappie, and the occasional northern pike. Jim’s father knew he needed to get this young explorer more room to roam. It was then he purchased what became known to friends as simply “The Farm.” The Farm was two hours from the cities in the heart of prime hunting and fishing. Very near the famous Mille Lacs Lake. It is here where Jim’s hunting addiction hit the hard core mark. Whitetails, black bears, ruffed grouse, and ducks called this region home, and on the weekends, so did Jim. In addition to roaming the farm, Jim, his father, and friends traveled to North and South Dakota, Wisconsin, and Canada to on various hunting and fishing adventures.
When it came time for college Jim attended The University of Wisconsin Stout where he received his degree in Marketing Education. Stout was a great place to get an education and, of course, hunt and fish. After college Jim worked for two high profile companies as a territory sales manager. Four years later he decided to hang up the suits and begin his quest of making a living sharing the outdoors he loved so much with others.
Jim had no idea how many other people have this same dream! Fortunately, Jim was able to use his extensive sales and marketing background to gain a spot on the world-respected Cabela’s Outdoor Adventures team. Jim may have been a decent hunter and guide at this point, but Cabela’s saw to it that Jim traveled the world, honing his skills as a hunter and as hunting and fishing consultant. Some of the destinations Jim has hunted and fishing are: Africa, Russia, Argentina, Bolivia, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, all over Canada and the United States.
It was a difficult decision to leave Cabela’s but Jim wanted the freedom to spend more time in the field guiding hunters and fishermen. Subsequently Jim guided in Colorado, Alaska, and South Dakota for elk, mule deer, antelope, brown bear, black bear and moose. Jim feels his time guiding gives him more respect with the outfitters that Global Hunting Adventures represents.
Jim currently resides in the outdoor paradise of Bozeman, Montana. His goal’s while at Global Sporting Safaris are to continue to provide clients the very best in worldwide hunting and fishing adventures. As always he will continue traveling the world searching for your next dream adventure!

Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF) today commended Tajikistan Ambassador to the United States Abdujabbor Shirinov, and the country of Tajikistan, for lifting the moratorium on the hunting of Marco Polo argali. The 2010 season will officially open this Autumn.
“The government of Tajikistan is excited to announce the opening of a Marco Polo sheep hunting season for Fall 2010,” said Ambassador Shirinov. “Safari Club International Foundation has demonstrated their commitment to wildlife in the Pamir Mountains, and my country looks forward to the continued growth of our collaborative conservation projects.”
SCIF Conservation Committee Chairman Joseph Hosmer and SCIF Conservation Director Dr. Bill Moritz recently returned from Tajikistan where they helped to increase awareness about reopening Marco Polo hunting in key meetings with government officials, including Deputy Prime Minister M. Alimardon and the Chairman of Committee on Environment Protection of Tajikistan, Mr. Khursandmurod Zikirov.
Safari Club International Foundation is committed to a successful Marco Polo sheep survey for 2010 in Tajikistan. The first phase of the project was completed in August with the assessment of Marco Polo lambing success in the Eastern Pamir Mountains. A second phase will involve a population assessment in December 2010.
“It is with great thanks to the government of Tajikistan, Deputy Prime Minister Alimardon and Ambassador Shirinov that we have successfully begun the Marco Polo sheep survey for Tajikistan. We are also extremely excited and thankful to learn of the reopening of the hunting season for 2010,” said SCI Foundation President Dr. Larry Rudolph.
