We have a special guest on the show with us today: Jim Harmer, better known as Backfire on YouTube. I've followed Jim's YouTube channel for a while now and it was great to finally get a chance to talk to him. Today we talk about how he got started in this business, hunting Africa with the 6.5 Creedmoor, the pros and cons of hunting with match bullets, his favorite cartridge and bullet, what the future holds for him, etc.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
