Filmmaker
Ever since an early age Jason Matzinger has possessed an uncommon passion for hunting, a passion that is as alive today as it was all those years ago. At an early age Jason was exposed to the great sport of hunting by his father Tim and his hunting partner George in his home state of Montana. Soon after graduating from High School, Jason started guiding big game hunters in Southwestern, Montana and soon realized what he was seeing on a day to day basis would rival anything that was currently being produced in the hunting industry. After his outfitter moved away Jason had a decision to make. That’s when he decided to start filming more seriously. Jason soon had filmed animal behavior that no one else had ever captured and major companies in the outdoor industry started to recognize that. Now 34, Jason has followed his passion and travelled the globe into some of the most highly sought after hunting in the world and is the hunter, filmmaker behind the series “Into High Country” that is now going into it’s fifth season on national television. In just a couple of years Jason has been nominated for such awards as “Best New Series” and “Shot of the Year” by the Sportsmans Channels, Sportsmans Choice Awards. Now with his latest film “Into High Country”, Jason is pioneering a new path in hunting television that you are not going to want to miss…
