Michael Wojciechowski of Elmwood Park, Illinois, heads to the wide-open spaces of Wyoming for his first-ever pronghorn hunt on an episode of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) Brotherhood Outdoors television series airing on the Sportsman Channel the week of July 29.
Wojciechowski, a member of International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Local 48 in Chicago, is a six-year Navy veteran who also spent 17 years in the U.S. Army National Guard. He credits his military experiences with instilling in him a sense of discipline and fostering the ability to quickly analyze and understand unfamiliar situations and surroundings.
These skills served him well as a machine maintenance worker at PSW Industries and later for the Chicago Transit Authority. As it turns out, they also come in handy on the trail of antelope.
Wojciechowski has spent a lifetime pursuing whitetails in Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Missouri—along with mule deer in Nebraska. But when he arrives at Four Horse Outfitters in Moorcroft, Wyoming, he discovers the game here is different. It’s less about finding pronghorns in the rolling hills and wide-open spaces, and more about zeroing in on the right one.
Check out how his fascinating hunt unfolds on the Sportsman Channel Tuesday, July 30 at 4 p.m. Eastern, or tune into one of the episode’s re-airings on Wednesday at 11 a.m., Saturday at 1:30 a.m. or Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Produced by Rusted Rooster Media, Brotherhood Outdoors is now in its 11th season of inviting hardworking and deserving union members on fishing or hunting adventures of a lifetime.
As Season 11 continues, viewers can tag along with guests in pursuit of black bears on Vancouver Island, permit and bonefish in Mexico, giant bucks and waterfowl in Saskatchewan and more.
Every episode of Brotherhood Outdoors also takes viewers to the homes, communities and jobsites of these tireless American workers for an inspirational glimpse at their backstories before heading onto the water or into the field. Along the way, the show also offers snapshots of the USA’s community-based conservation, public access, outreach and mentorship efforts by a dedicated, all-volunteer union labor force.
