Jim Dawson

Along with owners Jeff and Eric Sullivan and Brent Stoner, Jim has logged many hours in research and development at Derby City Game Calls. A hunter for over 25 years, Jim has harvested several whitetail deer scoring in the 120-140 inch range. He loves to hunt in his home state of Kentucky, as well as taking yearly trips to Illinois. Spring Turkey is a passion of his. Jim loves to chase longbeards all season long, hunting by himself or calling for others. Several mounts adorn his trophy room as reminders of special hunts with family and friends. One of his greatest pleasures is listening to a pack of beagle hounds running cottontails on a cool, crisp winter day. Jim was raised in a hunting family and has stayed true to his roots. If you are looking for Jim during hunting season, you had better look for him in a blind, treestand, or strolling behind a pack of beagles.

Jim was born in Louisville, Kentucky where he is a High School Administrator for Jefferson County Public Schools. He played college baseball for 4 years and was a High School Coach for 10 years, coaching on two state championship teams at Pleasure Ridge Park High School in Louisville. He is happily married to his wife, Tammi. They have two daughters, Courtney and McKenna.
