From Generations of Grit, Young Entrepreneur Shines in the Hunting Industry

Jeremy Brogdon comes from a family of entrepreneurs who owned and operated a powersports dealership while he was growing up in Mississippi. After his family moved to Arkansas in 2003, they stayed true to their entrepreneurial spirit by owning and running a motorcycle accessory shop in Russellville. He dreamed of being part of something like what his family had built. Jeremy and his family have always been drawn to the outdoors, which led to the founding of his company, Boar Hog.
“I grew up deer hunting with my father and grandfather, which later led to pursuing waterfowl and has only grown over time,” Jeremy said. “I love everything about it, from early mornings watching the world wake up to evenings seeing the world go to bed and everything in between. When you see the beauty of the outdoors, there is no way that you cannot see the fingerprint of God or not be in awe of his creation and awesomeness.”
In 2013, Jeremy graduated from Arkansas Tech University with a degree in agricultural business and again in 2019 with a degree in mechanical engineering. He has mainly worked in engineering, which has helped his business.
“We test our products through real-world use and not just by ourselves,” Jeremy said. “At Boar Hog, we prototype every product where it is used in the field and perfected over time. All aspects of the design are critiqued until they are refined and polished so that not only will the product last, but the product will hold up to the test of continual use and abuse without fail.”
Jeremy’s advice to middle and high schoolers aiming to turn their passions into careers is to be cautious not to lose their passion along the way.
“Not to say that you can’t be successful at it, but there is a lot more to it than one might think,” Jeremy said. “With that being said, the hardest and most stressful thing that one can ever do is work for yourself because there is no pressure worse than self-induced pressure. The love or passion for whatever you’re wanting to do has to be more than skin deep because if it’s not, you’ll fail 100% of the time.”
