Jim Erikson was a resident of Spearfish Lake. With his wife Barb he has two boys, Jack and Howie. His son's full name is James while being called Jack, implying oen is at least a Junior.BITH45.
He is described by Jack's girlfriend Vixen Hvalchek as "Just being an all around nice guy."BITH6 Jack explained his father's tolerance for his son's bird-watching as "He doesn't care all that much for my birding and really wishes I was into school sports, but he doesn't make a big deal about it."BITH6
Jim enjoys hunting and "owned a deer hunting cabin with a bunch of guys way out in the boonies off of County Road 919" and apparently visited it for a couple weeks each year, taking back the Jeep his son Jack usually drives.BITH2 He swapped vehicles with Jim once in the summer of 2010 to visit the cabin, do chores, and "bring the generator back here and tear it down in hopes of getting it to keep running for more than ten minutes at a time"BITH8 The road to the cabin is sufficiently rough that he didn't trust his truck to make it, but had confidence in the Jeep. The cabin was considered as a place to avoid Frenchy LeDroit, but in the end never used for that.BITH40
Jim adapted his habits to Barb, once warning his son "the day is going to come when she’s got your ring on her finger and really got her hooks into you, and then she could lay down the law. That’s why I had to quit riding motorcycles, after all."BITH32
