Eva Shocky Bio:

After graduating from college in Australia, Eva decided it was finally time to pick up a gun and join her hunting family out in the field. It took 21 years of spectating for Eva to realize that hunting was in her blood and there’s no place she’d rather be than in the great outdoors, getting a chance to spend time with her family. Growing up with Jim as a father brought Eva around the world on hunting adventures and showed her how beneficial hunting really is. With a combined passion for conservation and adventure, Eva has begun to make a name for herself within the industry as a proud, female hunter with a last-name to boot.
Now a full-fledged outdoorswoman, Eva has found a way to balance hunting, femininity and family into what she calls the “best job in the world”. Between traveling around the world with her Dad filming for Jim Shockey’s Hunting Adventures and The Professionals, Eva can be found at industry shows, representing the Shockey name and encouraging new hunters to get out and experience the outdoors firsthand. Behind the scenes, Eva runs all of the PR and Event Coordination for the company as well as managing Jim’s schedule throughout the year. Eva has big plans within the industry so stay tuned for more of her adventures.
Rachel Ahtila Bio:

Rachel Ahtila was born and raised in the western province of British Columbia, Canada, in the heart of the South Okanagan. Like any outdoor enthusiast, her passion for the outdoors began at an early age and has blossomed from there. At twenty-three years old, she has spent the last twelve years growing up at a remote guide outfitters lodge in northern British Columbia. It was here she began her guiding career hunting their featured big game species. This year Rachel makes her debut with the Shockey crew as a rookie guide and camerawoman, and will be featured on ‘Jim Shockey’s The Professionals' in Season Two.
