Warning: Contains Adult Language

Christopher Allen coined the term "Hoodneck" as a play on words to describe himself as a person who grew up in the hood and also identified as a redneck. The term would later become the name of Chris' 501c3 non-profit organization which focuses on the recruitment, retention & reactivation of sport shooters, hunters, anglers & farmers. According to their mission statement, "Hoodneck is the BRIDGE between two stereotypes that society tries to separate & is here to put an end to all negative stigmas placed upon them!"

Consistent with our goal of supporting cultural conservation, in this discussion we explore the conservation journey of a couple of inner-city kids from Galveston, Texas who followed two very different paths to reach the same place. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics including their vision for the future of fishing, farming and firearms. Ernal Mayberry works with Hoodneck as their director of agriculture. Mayberry tells the unique story of how he enrolled in college with the original intent of becoming a pharmacist so he could, "be a legal drug dealer." His interest quickly transitioned into sustainability and self-reliance. Enjoy the listen as we talk hunting, fishing, farming, culture and conservation in an effort to dispel societal myths and unite outdoor enthusiasts from all backgrounds.
