Julian Smith, an IBEW member of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, enjoys a thrilling Wyoming pronghorn hunt when he appears in an upcoming episode of the Union Sportsmen’s Alliance’s (USA) Brotherhood Outdoors television series airing this week on Sportsman Channel.
A U.S. Army veteran and member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 405, Smith was selected to appear on the show due to his union work ethic and commitment to the service of his country and community.
Smith is an active member of the Cedar Rapids Grants and Programs Citizens Committee, as well as the local Veterans of Foreign Wars. “These are great avenues for lending a hand and connecting with the community and other veterans,” he explains.
When not on the job, volunteering or spending time with family, Smith savors time spent outdoors, fishing or hunting. During his Wild West pronghorn adventure, he quickly develops an appreciation for the fleet-footed pronghorn’s ability to elude predators—as well as a love for the breathtaking scenery of the open country it calls home.
Catch all the exciting action when the episode featuring IBEW member, Julian Smith, airs this week, including Tuesday, July 17 at 4 p.m. Eastern, Wednesday at 11:30 a.m., Saturday at 1:30 a.m. and Sunday at 11 a.m. Eastern.
Award-winning Brotherhood Outdoors is currently in its 10th season of whisking hardworking union members away on action-packed hunting and fishing adventures. Produced by creative powerhouse Rusted Rooster Media, the series puts the spotlight on union members who are as passionate about the outdoors as they are on keeping this country running. Each episode 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.
The 2018 Brotherhood Outdoors season also features union members in pursuit of New Mexico elk, Mexican permit and bonefish, Saskatchewan waterfowl and black bears, Louisiana redfish and trophy whitetails in Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio. Along the way, the show also offers snapshots of the USA’s community-based conservation, public access, outreach and mentorship efforts, which are executed by an all-volunteer union labor force.
