Eva Shockey (born January 5, 1988) is a Canadian hunter who was the first woman in 30 years to make the front cover of Field & Stream magazine. She is also the co-host for her father Jim Shockey's television show on Outdoor Channel called Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures.
Shockey is also a proud supporter of wildlife conservation efforts and believes that “hunters are the biggest conservationists on the planet.” In 2015, she and her father, Jim Shockey, were chosen as Honorary Co-Chairs for National Hunting & Fishing Day, which took place on September 26, 2015. Shockey is also dedicated to fitness and health in order to aid her hunting. She has more than a million followers on social media.
Shockey was born on January 5, 1988 on Vancouver Island, Canada to hunter and outdoorsman Jim Shockey and Louise Johann. She was about twenty years old when she started hunting. Shockey went to Bond University in Australia and graduated with a degree in business marketing in two and a half years on the fast track program. She married professional hockey player, Tim Brent on June 20, 2015 on her family's land.
Eva Shockey is the co-host of Jim Shockey's Hunting Adventures on Outdoor Channel alongside her father Jim Shockey. She also occasionally serves as host for various TV specials and red carpet events for the network.
Eva Shockey appeared on the cover of Field & Stream magazine on the issue of May 2014 - making her the second woman ever to be photographed for the magazine's cover in its 119-year history. The first was Queen Elizabeth II.
In November of 2014, droves of anti-hunters reacted to photos that Shockey posted on social media of a 510-pound black bear she harvested during a North Carolina hunt. One remarked that she should “kill that little worthless dog you have instead.” Shockey’s sharp riposte – “Apparently hunting a bear, eating/donating all of the meat, and putting money towards conservation is a bad thing, but killing my puppy is OK. If this logic isn’t totally insane, I don’t know what is.” – caught the attention of mainstream media. The backlash intensified in the days that followed, but so too did the rallying battle cries from fellow hunters. In turn, Shockey created special T-shirts that state: “I’ll never apologize for being a hunter!”
