Full Circle to First Hog Hunt: How Networking, POMA, and Taurus Put Two City Boys in the Texas Woods

"Gun laws are racist."

That's the conversation Cush and Breezy are having as they detail their journey over the last year, spanning from SHOT Show to ICAST to the backwoods of Texas. They detail how joining organizations like POMA led to a full-circle moment: an impromptu, life-changing hog hunt hosted by their friend Chan from Taurus. As they travel the country (from Lake Erie walleye fishing to Atlanta meetups), they break down why their agency is intentionally bridging the gap between urban demographics (Black, Latino, Asian) and the outdoor space, challenging a "ten-years-behind" industry to embrace diversity and representation.

Brief Description: In this episode of the season featuring just the hosts, Cush and Breezy update listeners on their extensive travel schedule—from Ohio's Lake Erie (walleye fishing) to the massive ICAST fishing convention. They emphasize the power of community, detailing a "full-circle" moment where their connection through the Professional Outdoor Media Association (POMA) led to their first-ever hog hunt in Texas, an experience that reinvigorated their passion for the outdoors.
Crucially, the hosts discuss their agency's core mission: to be the exclusive bridge connecting urban and outdoor demographics. They delve into why this focus is not about compliance, but about authentic representation. They explicitly challenge the status quo, discussing the widely held belief that the gun industry is decades behind others, and why they believe historical facts—like the reaction to the Black Panthers arming themselves—prove that gun laws are inherently racist. This is a conversation about business growth, the personal reward of getting back to nature, and the intentional work of making the outdoor and Second Amendment spaces inclusive for all.
