In 1912 he married May Nunn (daughter of Charles Nunn). Sometime between 1915 and 1917 James and May moved to Oxtongue where May's father was. While he lived at Oxtongue, James made his living working as a lumberjack in "the Park" during the winters. During the summers he was the fire ranger at Oxtongue. He also guided fishing and hunting trips in Algonquin Park. In 1923 Rennie was offered a job in the US; the log home he built and two acres, on which it sat, were sold by Charles Nunn to Ms. G. Armstrong for $750.
