JP LONGBOTHAM

JP has been a professional hunting guide for over 10 years. He holds a world record for the Racka sheep in the airgun category. From his abilities with the airgun, JP was the first ever guide to successfully down a Pronghorn antelope in the state of Texas. Born and raised in Midland, with a strong ranching and hunting background, JP is one of a duo of experts serving as hunting guides for the OSO hunts. His family has worked cattle ranching for over 100 years in the area, and has become a Texas landmark. Hunting all of his life, he has shot several Pope and Young Deer as well as Boone and Crockett.
