The Spring Legion Podcast

Late season gobblers will humble you fast, then reward you when you least expect it. We’re recording from Mississippi during the May chaos, swapping road stories, gear mishaps, and the reality of trying to stay consistent when turkey season has you living out of a truck and chasing the last open states. 

We get honest about fourth quarter turkey hunting: why the woods can feel dead even when birds are there, how gobbling windows shrink as nesting ramps up, and why “loafing” becomes the default mode once the morning fire fades. We also talk about the weird ways sound travels in steep country and mountain hollers, where a gobble can bounce, lie, and pull you into a long hike if you guess wrong. 

From there, the episode turns into story time and lessons learned. Honey breaks down a classic hunt with turkey guru Garrett Sweeney, then dives into one of the most memorable hunts of the year: a long, sweaty chess match that ends with a gobbler drumming and grinding uphill right into range. We also unpack a second-morning moment where the bird gets painfully close but the shot never feels clean and why passing can be the win. 

If you’re chasing late season turkeys, hunting pressured public land, or trying to get better at reading terrain, calling timing, and commitment, this one is for you. Subscribe for the finale run, share this with a turkey hunting buddy, and leave us a review with your toughest late season lesson.

A gobbler is drumming close enough that we’re whispering “be ready”… and somehow the bird still feels invisible. That’s the kind of trip this one is. We’re deep into late-season spring turkey hunting, seasons are winding down in the South, and we decide to head west on a whim with Austin Seals, Jennings, and Gage for a public land style run through steep country, big timber, creek bottoms, and zero cell service.

We get into the real mechanics of a do-it-yourself western turkey hunt, starting with the unglamorous part: last-minute flight changes to dodge snow, flying with a firearm, TSA slowdowns, runway delays, and the scramble to make a connection that could have cost us half a day. From there the stories turn into pure turkey problem-solving. We break down what it feels like when a tom is clearly there but won’t gobble, won’t show, and seems to drum from thin air, plus the small adjustment that finally flips the switch and gets him talking like he “never heard a call before.”

The mountains deliver their own lessons. We talk about extreme terrain, thick cover, birds that lock into tiny spots and refuse to move, and the safety reality of hunting remote ground without service. Add in predator sign and a late-night “that’s a wolf” moment outside a tiny tent, and you’ll understand why we keep coming back to the same point: don’t force the plan, hunt on the turkey’s clock, and don’t go alone when the country can bite back.

If you’re into spring turkey tactics, calling strategy, western Rio and Merriam style behavior, or just want an honest hunting story with real decisions and real consequences, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share it with a buddy who’s still chasing May gobblers, and leave a review with the strangest “ghost turkey” moment you’ve ever had.

We hit the road to stretch the season past Mississippi’s closing day and learn what changes when the turkeys, terrain, and weather are brand new. We trade stories from West Texas and Idaho to show why ethics stay the same and why turkeys still find ways to win.
• the bittersweet end of the Mississippi spring turkey season and the push to travel
• how we approach new states and new subspecies without changing our style
• why turkeys do not live everywhere and how to avoid hunting empty woods
• West Texas glassing and positioning on Rios with fences roads and pressured birds
• a close-range finish that starts with a turkey hearing footsteps in dead grass
• Idaho public land lessons on movement timing weather breaks and staying with birds
• why gobblers try to gain elevation and how a small setup mistake costs you

A gobbler that will not budge is not “uncallable” so much as unbeatable from the spot you keep choosing. We get honest about that tonight, swapping two spring turkey hunting stories that start with stubborn birds and end with the kind of small adjustments that actually change outcomes. If you love the chess match side of turkey hunting, this one is for you.

Chase walks through an April roost hunt that happens on almost no sleep and on a hard deadline, where the turning point is not a magical sequence on a call, but a hen’s attitude and the hunters being set up for what follows. Then we jump to a public land turkey hunting grind in Tennessee centered on a property line gobbler living on a safe knob. We talk terrain, sound, and why downhill setups can feel impossible in open woods. A trumpet call gets the most reliable answers, but silence and patience are what finally make the bird do something different.

We also zoom out into bigger takeaways you can use anywhere in the Southeast or beyond: why “you’re not on the wrong turkey, you’re in the wrong spot” is often true, how to think about hung-up gobblers and hen dynamics, and why habitat work like prescribed burning plus predator management can make a noticeable difference over time. If you’re chasing Easterns now and thinking about a western trip later, you’ll hear how we’re planning for that too.

If this helped you think clearer about turkey hunting tactics, subscribe so you do not miss the next round of stories, share it with your hunting buddy, and leave a review with the most stubborn gobbler you have ever dealt with.

We talk with Brooks Henry and Sophie Hooker at the NWTF convention in Nashville about chasing wild turkeys across the country and what it takes to finish a 49-state Super Slam at a young age. We get into the unglamorous parts of travel hunting like budgeting, gear failures, planning routes, and learning when to move on to a bird that is actually ready. 
• finishing the 49-state Super Slam in Utah and how that final swing came together 
• skipping high school graduation to hunt South Dakota and getting humbled by tough birds 
• saving money on a family farm to fund spring travel and what it really costs per state 
• food, sleep, and living out of a truck versus adding comfort with a camper 
• trusting gear, shooting TSS, and the superstition that follows missed birds 
• the broken red dot screw story and why checking patterns and mounts matters 
• flying versus driving and why Nevada can be a one-state exception 
• dealing with crowds, access limits, and hunter harassment without wasting your season 
• the “when he’s ready” theory, covering ground, and not getting stuck on one turkey 
• using topography and woodsmanship to break a turkey’s bubble and close the deal 
• Sophie’s goal to start chasing her own 49 and how they plan to do it together

From Primos' Truth About Hunting Vol. 1 to the original Knight and Hale videos, and all the other "Kings of Spring" era turkey hunting videos in between, we're diving into the real old stuff today with a group of guys who know how to revive the old-school turkey hunter in us all. 

Listen along for a very interesting project you'll want to check out immediately, The Wild Turkey Archives.

 A lot of turkey hunting “history” isn’t sitting safely on a bookshelf. It’s on VHS tapes, three-quarter inch broadcast tapes, old magazines, fading photos, and raw footage that never made the final cut. And some of it is so fragile it has to be baked just to play one last time. That’s why I wanted to get Paul Campbell, Nathaniel Maddox, and Brent Rogers on the phone to lay out what Wild Turkey Archives really is and why it’s more than a highlight page.

We get into the mission: preserve and celebrate the history and heritage of the wild turkey and the wild turkey hunter, not just for nostalgia but to inspire multiple generations. We talk conservation history, callmaking history, and the cultural “fabric” built by books, interviews, and classic hunting media. You’ll hear about major donations like thousands of NWTF tapes, the push to digitize raw interviews and restoration footage, and the jaw-dropping finds that show up when collectors and organizations start opening their vaults.

We also break down how you can actually use it: the free Wild Turkey Archives database versus the insider packages that fund the work and include access to the Wild Turkey Archives streaming app on Apple devices, Android, and Roku. If you care about wild turkey hunting history, turkey hunting videos, and protecting the stories that made the sport what it is, this is for you. Subscribe, share this with a turkey hunter who grew up on those old tapes, and leave a review if you want us to keep bringing conversations like this every week.

A gobbler that only talks once can make you question everything you think you know about spring turkey hunting. We’re in Mississippi with our buddy Easton Davis, who’s down from West Virginia, and the contrast hits fast: hotter mornings, thicker woods, flatter ground, and public land turkeys that have heard it all. Then the script flips and we get the kind of roost hunt most folks only daydream about.

We walk you through what changed and why it worked. From recognizing how hunting pressure creates “tight lipped” gobblers, to using late morning scouting to confirm a core area torn up with scratching, to understanding how creeks shape roost choices and travel lanes. We also talk about the tiny flydown window where a few honest notes on a mouth call can persuade a bird before he locks in on real hens, plus the sound challenges of pine bottoms where gobbles feel farther and wind can mimic drumming.

We zoom out too: turkey populations run in cycles, good hatches don’t happen by accident, and habitat management and restraint matter if we want strong spring turkey seasons for years to come. If you’re into Mississippi turkey hunting, West Virginia turkey hunting, public land strategy, turkey calling, and reading sign, this one is a straight dose of practical field talk.

A turkey call can be a tool, a craft, and a time capsule all at once. From a back room at NWTF, we sit down with Clay Townsend and his son Dawson of Clay Townsend Calls to dig into what it really takes to build handmade turkey calls that hunters trust and judges reward. Clay lays out the unglamorous part most people skip: building daily, scrapping what doesn’t work, leaning on honest critique, and slowly finding a process that produces consistent sound and clean finish.

We also talk about the pull of the Grand National Callmaking Competition. Clay tells the story of sending in his first trumpet and finishing dead last, then coming back year after year until the work finally broke through, including a huge run on the amateur friction side and later wins on the air-call stage. A highlight is the “champion of champions” class and the meaning behind earning the Billy Bice Award, named for a legend Clay knew personally. Dawson shares his own competition path, what he’s learned building pot calls, and why trumpets feel like the next precision challenge.

Then we bring it back to the woods: a hard-earned Osceola hunt in South Florida, a first-turkey double that lit a fire under Clay’s wife, and why scouting without a gun can make you a better turkey hunter and a better caller. We wrap with what’s new at the bench, including Clay’s durable plastic injection molded design and where you can find their work online.

This week, the conversation turns personal, as Hunter shares why one particular spring morning matters a little more to his family, hunting on his late son, William's, birthday for the first time, and how grief can resurface years later. Most importantly, how his faith in God and the spring woods can pull you toward gratitude for God's blessings, even during the loss of a loved one.

From there, we get practical about public land turkey hunting. We cover how we handle crowded pull-offs, why we avoid crowding another hunter even when a gobbler is close, and the small habits that keep you from blowing up someone else’s setup. We also dig into early season turkey calling tactics that match real conditions: softer yelps, fewer notes, longer pauses, and using hens and terrain to help a gobbler commit instead of hanging up.

That leads into a wild play-by-play hunt with a fired-up hen, a longbeard closing hard, and a chaotic Jake almost crashing the party at the last second.

If you enjoy honest turkey hunting stories, public land strategy, and the deeper reasons for why we keep showing up every spring, you’ll feel at home here. Subscribe, share this with a hunting buddy, and leave a review so more folks can find the Spring Legion Podcast.

Opening weekend doesn’t ease you back into turkey season. It shoves you in. We roll into the 2026 Mississippi spring turkey season with pollen in the air, gear scattered from the offseason, and that familiar feeling that we’re already behind the sunrise. Then the woods remind us why we do this: one gobble and suddenly every step and every yelp matters again. 

We break down a “pine straw jungle” hunt in thick Southern pines where sound gets muffled, gobblers can drum forever without showing themselves, and a bird can go from nowhere to 15 yards in a blink. We talk about when to stay quiet, when to give a louder hen calls, and how small details like sunlight on your gun barrel or a hidden logging road can decide the whole setup. If you’ve searched for turkey calling tips, drumming distance, or how to set up on a pressured longbeard, this one is packed with real-world context. 

We also get into the public land side of opening weekend: crowded pull-offs, the value of a quick conversation to keep everyone safe, and how fast pressure changes turkey behavior. We finish with the season’s bigger themes, from hunting with family to the superstition and humility that come with chasing birds that feel “nine years old” by day two.

March flips the switch. The maps come out, trucks get loaded, and our heads fill with plans, spots, and what-ifs. We press pause on the chaos to share the five principles that keep our turkey season rooted: faith first, people over tallies, mobility with purpose, a learner’s mindset, and the courage to slow down when spring tries to speed you up.

We start with practical updates—fresh gear, reworked bundles, a free-shipping fix, and a POD10 code—then step into the mental game that makes or breaks a season. We talk about walking closer to Christ in the woods, choosing to hunt with more friends and family, and honoring those unwritten public-land rules that hold our community together. We dig into how to find a truly “killable” turkey, why it’s okay to bail on a stubborn bird, and how having plans B through E turns pressure into options rather than anxiety.

Curiosity drives the rest. We’re journaling weather and behavior to spot real patterns, not myths. We’re pushing our comfort zones, exploring new ground we’ve driven past for years, and admitting when filming helps or hurts the hunt. There’s a bigger balance here too—bringing a fly rod for roadside water, grabbing a diner breakfast, or letting the family tag along so the trip becomes more than a tally. Above all, we protect one nonnegotiable: our livelihood won’t depend on killing a turkey, because guarding the resource, the heritage, and that first gobble’s thrill matters more than any number.

If you’re ready for a season that’s more intentional, more present, and more fun, tap play. Grab the code POD10, check the bundles, and tell us: what principle will guide your spring? Subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help more hunters find the show.

Today, Chase sits down with Roy "Curl" Holdford to unpack all that he's learned in his lengthy turkey hunting travels, and how a leap of faith reshaped his seasons, his budget, and his career—from a THP internship to a full-time role at Outdoor Life.

We get into the nuts and bolts of a roaming spring: why a two-wheel-drive Transit can be enough, how 33 mpg changes what states you can afford to hunt, and the evolution from plastic drawers and a sleeping pad to a solar-powered build with water, AC, and an inverter. 

Curl explains where he sleeps—legally at gates when possible—and how a simple “turkey hunting, be right back” note has saved him from tow trucks and worried sheriffs. If you’ve wondered how to balance comfort, cost, and speed, this is a blueprint.

Food fuels the miles. Curl shares the mix that keeps him steady: calorie-dense bars and yogurt for fast mornings, fruit that won’t mash, and batch-cooked rice and veggies tossed on a Blackstone after dark. We talk pre–April 15 routing through Florida, Mississippi, Texas, and beyond, then pivot to why short camps with friends multiply scouting, sharpen reads on terrain, and lead to more gobbles. 

We also tackle permission etiquette—only knocking when patterns are clear, treating ground with respect, and avoiding the mistakes that close gates for everyone.

Curl’s media path threads through it all: grinding a slow deer year with THP, stacking reps in the field, freelancing for brands, and packing into backcountry hunts to film elk and even moose. The takeaway is a mindset: either tag a bird or learn something that gets you closer tomorrow. If you’re planning a long road trip or multi-day swing this turkey season, you’ll leave with practical steps and a lighter pack.

Enjoy the conversation, then subscribe, share with a hunting buddy, and leave a quick review so more folks find the show. Where will the road take you this spring?

The first gobble of the year flips a switch. We dive into the craft of listening for turkeys—how we build efficient morning routes from the road, pick vantage points near water and open ground, and use sound to sketch a map long before we ever touch a call. If February is the month of anticipation, this is how we turn that energy into practical intel that pays off on opening day.

We get specific about timing and terrain: why arriving an hour earlier reveals the true start of the dawn chorus, how to triangulate a gobble without walking into it, and when to trust your ears over the map’s magnetic pull toward a distant creek. We talk public versus private approaches, the false promise of winter flocks, and why restraint—less calling, more reading—often brings a gobbler to 30 yards faster than hammering on a box. We also share lighting and safety habits that keep you quiet and invisible, plus when a restrained owl or crow call earns its keep.

For hunters with limited days, roosting can be the difference between wandering and winning. We explain how to pin an evening bird, set a safe approach, and let terrain do half the talking at fly-down. You’ll hear stories of early-morning shockers, late fly-down puzzles, and the setups that worked because we waited for the bird to make the first mistake. Along the way, we preview our NWTF Convention plans, new Spring Legion gear, and weekly YouTube hunts that show the real process—missteps, adjustments, and the moments where one well-timed call changes everything.

Subscribe, share with a buddy who’s already hooting in the truck, and leave a quick review with your best listening tip. Then tell us: where do you start your first February loop—and what made you pick it?

We return to the original studio and lay out a field-tested guide to turkey setups, from the pretty spots that fail to the ugly positions that kill. We share how to read gobbles, time your moves, and build options with terrain, shade, and smart angles.

• gear updates, NWTF booth location, and a YouTube giveaway
• why open “stage” setups make birds hang up
• the power of backdrops and concealment in shade
• when decoys solve curiosity too soon
• reading hot birds vs courtesy gobbles
• moving on a gobble, wind, and shadow cover
• using barriers, blowdowns, and creek banks
• elevation choices that make a bird step-and-look
• partner safety, communication, and 360-degree options
• ugly, uncomfortable setups that create clean kills
• accepting failure as part of learning

From scouting topo maps to a few secret spots for finding fresh turkey tracks, we focus on how to actually find spring turkeys—starting at water-shaped roost sites, moving through midday strut zones, and using sign the right way—while sharing honest lessons from our past wins and dry spells. We also talk Mississippi’s new turkey stamp, our YouTube plans, and listener-requested scouting tactics.

• why water, elevation and comfort drive roost choice
• how to efficiently combine e-scouting with boots on the ground
• benches, strut zones and midday movement patterns
• reading scratching, tracks and dust bowls with freshness in mind

Introducing the new Spring Legion Turkey Vest for Spring 2026, we reflect on the vests we've worn over the years and a few stories that came with them. 

First signs of spring are back—birds waking up, weeds popping, and that itch to get your vest dialed. We’ve been obsessed with building a turkey vest that actually helps you hunt better, and we finally pulled the curtain back. High and tight so it doesn’t slap your knees. Quiet, durable fabric that molds to your body. MOLLE-compatible layout to add what you need and drop what you don’t. No magnets to fail in a thicket or mess with your compass. A butt pad that rides slim but still gives you that post-shot flop that feels like victory.

We walk through the decisions that took years to refine: a detachable box call holder that doesn’t rattle, striker storage that won’t lose your favorites, slate pockets with a divider for conditioning pads, and a dump pocket for tags, zip ties, batteries, and the random essentials you actually use. Hydration is routed clean through the strap so you can take a sip without shifting a gun off your knee. Fit extensions and an XL option make it accessible without turning it into a bulky mess.

Then we take you to Tennessee. Picture pounding rain, cattle pastures, and a square of yellow flowers. We break down how we moved through livestock, secured permission, managed wind with a box call, and threaded a barrel through a heavy panel fence to set up a clean shot on two strutters. When the tom tried to recover, the ability to move fast without snagging gear made the difference. Along the way we dig into loadout philosophy—Thermacell over DEET, permethrin-treated clothes, two strikers you trust, one slate or glass, and a box call when the timber demands reach.

We finish with tactics that travel anywhere: using a real wing for subtle fly-downs that keep mystery alive, scratching to mark location without overcommitting, and reading silence as movement. If a gobbler shuts up after a wing beat, he might be on the way. Stay just below the crest, pull him to an edge, and let curiosity do the work. Hit play to learn why simple, quiet, and modular beats heavy and complicated—and how to set yourself up for a better spring.

Subscribe, share with a buddy who’s tweaking his vest this week, and leave a quick review to help more turkey hunters find the show.

We begin this episode with the irony of trading Black Friday greed for Christmas giving, then carry that theme into the turkey woods with stories where the hunt gives… and where it yanks the rug out from beneath us. From a rattled-in one-horn buck to a public land gobbler, we unpack patience, luck, and the grind that makes hunting worth it.

• cold deer hunt that unfolded like a turkey setup
• gifts vs ungifts theme across multiple turkey seasons
• calling mistakes that still led to a limb-hanger on public
• midday nap turning into two red heads and a quick shot
• close-roost lessons, misses and setup discipline
• Paw Paw memories, calls, and minivan clay pits
• the road gobbler with hooks and the sudden house pad
• patience, woodsmanship and showing up when the tide turns

Thank y’all for subscribing, liking, sharing, telling friends about it, and all the feedback we receive is always welcomed with open arms. We hope y’all have a very safe and sincere holiday season and wish y’all Merry Christmas. Follow us on socials for new stuff dropping soon.

Three years with your back against the same tree can teach you more than a stack of tags, or perhaps it only further proves there are no certainties in turkey hunting. In this episode, we unpack three seasons centered on the same setup and why gobblers kept working that ground in eerily similar ways. 

From loud leaves that accidentally “called” a bird, to a light wind that gave us just enough cover, to a hot gobbling longbeard that veered at the last second, we trace how small choices and familiar terrain create repeatable opportunities without turning hunting into a script.

We dig into the biology and the woodsmanship. Dr. Chamberlain’s insight on lek-like behavior gives a scientific reason birds revisit certain areas, while field stories highlight the patterns you can actually use: favor dark timber over bright openings, let terrain hide your feet, and plan for what turkeys are unlikely to do. When you add clear team roles—who calls, who shoots, who films—you multiply your windows and take cleaner shots. We also reflect on the details that tell a turkey’s story after the shot: stained wing bars, the grit inside a gizzard, and what those clues say about where he spent yesterday.

Not every plan works. We break down a painful miss, the lesson in brush lanes and shot windows, and why returning to proven ground still demands flexibility. Access changes, pressure resets, and sometimes the smartest move is to take the knowledge and go try something new. If you’re thinking about patterns, ridges, ditches, and how to make the next setup count, you’ll find practical, field-tested takeaways to carry into spring—without losing the joy and mystery that keep us going back.

If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a buddy who lives for March mornings, and leave a quick review so more turkey hunters can find us. Your support helps us bring more stories, more lessons, and more wild mornings to your feed.

On this episode, hosts Hunter Farrior and Chase Farrior are talking about a few good drumming turkeys from the back corners of their minds. From a high school before‑class bird that taught Chase his first lesson in throwing soft yelps over a terrain roll, to the heaviest Alabama gobbler we’ve ever carried—whose drum hit harder than his gobble—this one is packed with practical wisdom you can use the next time the woods go quiet.

We unpack how to recognize real drumming by cadence, separate it from log trucks and wind‑flexed roots, and move only when the rhythm gives you a beat to steal ground. You’ll hear how cemetery high points and creek‑bottom bowls shape sound, why cedar walls look right but hunt wrong, and what to do when hens drift by within arm’s reach and your gun is tangled in branches. We also revisit low‑tech scouting—reading fresh tracks in mud and using water holes like analog trail cameras—to confirm travel without burning a spot.

Close calls drive the best lessons: wing drags at five yards without a shot window, half‑strut toms that never fan but drum non‑stop, and the discipline to hold your call when you can already hear the drum. If you’ve ever asked when to move, when to call, and how to set up for a shot lane instead of a pretty view, these stories give you a blueprint. Subscribe, share with a hunting buddy who lives for tough birds, and drop your best “heard him before I saw him” story in a review—we might read it on the show next week.

Ever have a gobbler prove your first instinct right while you sit in the wrong spot? That’s the thread running through this one: trust the high seat when the terrain says high, let the bird lay the first card, and don’t let a cutoff clock rush you into a bad setup. We start with the good stuff—our Greenleaf drop and Black Friday bundles—then get straight into fieldcraft that held up under pressure: roost strategy, reading hills, and taking the shot before the window slides shut.

We break down two hunts that tested our patience. A hen crossed a gravel road and pulled us low; the tom flew to the bottom, climbed to the crown, and marched toward the road—exactly where we would have been if we hadn’t second-guessed ourselves. Then a giant bird roosted shockingly low along a pasture ditch and drummed in the dark. By daylight he’d shifted to the top, again proving that discipline in what you already know beats improvising around a weird detail. The pattern is clear: stop trying to make turkeys do things; start listening when the woods tell you what the bird wants.

From there we talk shot selection and calling. On pressured ground, you’re lucky to get one clean look. Know your range, build lanes, and pull the trigger when his head hits the window. With calling, timing and direction do the work. A soft note thrown into the gap you want him to check can force the exact two steps you need. Drumming became our compass, letting us course silent birds over rolls and into view without blowing the setup. And yes, we’re upgrading how we capture it—barrel cams and smarter filming so you can see how those choices unfold.

Grab the new Greenleaf gear while the bundles last, follow along for more hunts dropping Mondays at 6 a.m., and tell us: when your gut says take the hill, do you climb or keep debating? If this resonated, tap follow, share it with a hunting buddy, and leave a quick review so more turkey nuts can find us.

Year SIX of turkey hunting tips and stories has arrived with a warehouse full of spring 2026 gear and a head full of stories that matter more than numbers. We pulled the curtain back on how Spring Legion grew from spare bedrooms to stacked pallets, why we obsessed over simplifying designs, and what it took to bring Greenleaf across the lineup without investor money. Then we shifted to the real currency of our brand: hard-earned lessons from a season ruled by wind, hens, and terrain that punishes bad angles.

Georgia reminded us that timing beats talent. After days of punishing wind, the first quiet minutes lit a gobble from way off, triggering a mad dash from the porch to a setup that worked only because we were there when the woods finally breathed. In West Virginia, the mountains turned sound into a trickster. Gobbles sounded close while birds covered country fast, and a crow call at the perfect moment kept us from stepping into a gobbler’s vision cone. Hunting with a partner who reads the same map in your head matters—call when the lane turns in your favor, and let the bird make the last mistake.

Across states, hend-up flocks and better hatches changed the playbook. Low-volume mornings forced a patient, movement-first style on public ground where birds have seen every trick. Woodsmanship won the day more than loud calling: benches, cover, leaf rhythm, and a respect for how quickly a skyline burns you. We even talk about the tom that strut-carved a pine straw bowl by standing in one spot forever, a perfect snapshot of why observation can beat pressure.

The quiet theme is mindset. There’s a season where you chase numbers, and a season where you chase the right moments. We chose to walk away content, tags unpunched, because the woods had already given enough—daybreak gobbles, tough reads, and proof that purpose beats tally. We also share Black Friday bundle details, restocks, and plans to bring on help so we can tell more of these stories and the real, chaotic path of building this brand.

If you’re here for honest turkey talk, thoughtful tactics, and gear built to serve—not shout—we’ve got a full run ahead. Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or YouTube, share this with a hunter who lives for first light, and drop a review to help more folks find their way to the spring woods.

We've officially hit the halfway point of the 2025 spring turkey season, and the changes in weather and turkey behavior are becoming more apparent as the foliage thickens and temperatures rise.

• Chase's hunt in East Georgia yielded success after walking 23 miles in three days through challenging sandy terrain
• After a thunderstorm passed and winds died down, a gobbler immediately started hammering, creating perfect hunting conditions
• Understanding turkey behavior in thick foliage becomes crucial when you can't distinguish if turkeys aren't gobbling or if you just can't hear them
• Hunter's adventures in North Georgia and Tennessee featured steep terrain and high winds, requiring quick strategy adjustments
• Hunting ridgetops requires understanding how wind affects turkey behavior and being willing to change plans quickly
• The challenge of "periscoping" gobblers that periodically raise their heads to scan for hens without fully committing
• Updates on Spring Legion gear including waterproof gaiters at 30% off and the new turkey hunting hat collection at 25% off with code CAP25
• Special congrats to this week's review winner who will receive a free duffel bag and license plate

What makes the Eastern Wild Turkey America's most challenging gamebird? Join Hunter Farrior of Spring Legion, Dr. Mike Chamberlain (@wildturkeydoc), and Matt from the National Wild Turkey Federation as they dive deep into the mysterious world of Eastern Wild Turkeys from their Kentucky turkey camp.

The conversation opens with back-to-back hunting stories that perfectly illustrate why Easterns have earned their reputation for outsmarting hunters. As Dr. Chamberlain reveals, "Easterns are the most heavily hunted subspecies with decades of hunting pressure...they're used to dealing with us." This hard-won wisdom passed through generations of turkeys explains why success rates remain so low compared to hunting other subspecies.

You'll discover fascinating research about Eastern turkey behavior, including their complex roosting patterns where birds use multiple locations rather than returning to the same tree night after night. This explains why hunters sometimes return to a spot expecting the same bird, only to encounter a completely different turkey with different behavior patterns – a revelation that might change your hunting strategy forever!

The discussion takes a critical turn toward conservation as the team explores how Eastern turkeys depend on hardwood forests for winter nutrition and return to the same breeding grounds generation after generation. With hardwood forests disappearing at alarming rates and specific breeding grounds being disrupted, understanding these complex habitat needs has never been more important for ensuring the future of the wild turkey.

Whether you're a seasoned turkey hunter looking to improve your odds against these forest-dwelling game birds, or a conservation-minded outdoorsperson concerned about wild turkey populations, this episode delivers crucial insights directly from the experts studying these magnificent birds. Listen now and gain a deeper appreciation for America's most widespread – and most challenging – wild turkey subspecies.

This week, Hunter Farrior welcomes his good friend Gary Stanton (of country music duo Muscadine Bloodline) to share their recent adventure pursuing turkeys in completely new territory.

What begins as a loosely planned expedition with minimal local knowledge turns into a masterclass in adaptability, patience, and recognizing opportunity when it presents itself. The hunters reveal how a wrong turn and nearly hitting a hen with their truck led to discovering a turkey hotspot that would define their entire trip. Their experience demonstrates the delicate balance between scouting widely and committing deeply once birds are located.

The conversation explores the challenges of hunting opening day on public land, managing pressure from other hunters, and the tactical decisions that ultimately led to success. Rather than constantly seeking new ground, they found that staying put and truly learning one productive area yielded better results—harvesting birds seven hours apart but only 70 yards from one another.

Beyond hunting tactics, Bobby and Gary discuss their friendship built through shared passion for turkey hunting and literature, how superstition influences their hunting gear choices, and the special quality of early spring turkey season that keeps them coming back year after year. Their genuine enthusiasm and storytelling make this episode both entertaining and educational for hunters of all experience levels.

Whether you're planning your own out-of-state turkey adventure or simply enjoy authentic hunting stories, this episode offers valuable insights on finding success in unfamiliar territory while creating lasting memories with friends in the turkey woods.

Well, we've been there plenty of times, ourselves, and this episode is packed with all that we've learned while hunting those notorious hung-up longbeards.

With the holiday season now behind us, it's finally time to prepare for spring turkey hunting season. Join us as we relive of a pair of solo turkey hunts and detail the changes we made in respect to whether or not we had roosted the gobbler at hand the night before. We're also thrilled to bring you news about an exciting piece of literature releasing in January, with all the details on upcoming events like the Turkey Tailgate and Callmakers Showcase at Mossy Oak in West Point, Mississippi.

Reflecting on the challenges of getting in tight on a roosted turkey, we share insights into the behavior of these fascinating creatures. From the unexpected silence of a turkey on the limb to the impact of predators like owls, each day in the turkey woods offers new lessons. 

You'll hear about memorable hunts in special spots and the nuances of interpreting turkey calls amid complex terrains. Whether navigating ridges, gullies, or fields, the strategies shared provide valuable knowledge for both the seasoned hunter and those new to the sport.

Finding success in turkey hunting often involves a strategic approach, and our stories emphasize the importance of patience and adaptability. From the decision-making process of choosing the right spot to the tactics needed to outsmart lone gobblers (and the groups of jakes or hens with him) every hunt is a unique puzzle. Sharing personal experiences, we highlight the art of reading nature's signals to impact the outcome. With a blend of humor and humility, these narratives capture the essence of the hunt, offering inspiration and practical tips to enhance your turkey hunting adventures.

If you're new to turkey hunting, or just getting started at least, this episode is for you. Today, we sit down with our good buddy Jeremy Morgan, who didn't start hunting turkeys until he was a young adult. He's come a long way since starting from scratch in 2019, but he has plenty of stories in the memory bank to detail just how tough turkey hunting from ground zero can be.

From missing the first six longboards he saw, to shooting multiple turkeys in multiple states each year, Jeremy's progression as a new-ish turkey hunter is one we can all relate to, and provides a good change of pace from our usual story sessions.

Also in this episode:

• Hunter gets caught in a tornado
• Chase updates us on some Spring Legion plans
• A special edition book for 2025? Maybe. 
• The struggling search for a 6.5' camper shell continues

99% wont cut it in the turkey woods, and we have a pair of stories that prove exactly why. After letting our guard down for a matter of minutes, and busting a gobbler we’d hunted for half a day, we returned hours later to create our own “best chance” at flipping the script. 

We detail why we walked where we walked, sat where we sat, and which twigs must have been cut to assure that our probability was maxed out to its fullest potential. Was it worth the extra attention to detail? Absolutely it was.

We're two weeks into turkey season, and as our newfound buddy Ty from Memphis stepped into the Mississippi wilderness this morning, he was armed with the optimism of a TFT raffle-won turkey hunt and a hunter's quiet hope for a gobble-filled dawn. But as we all know, Mother Nature loves a good plot twist, and she delivered a silent wind whipped weekday that kept the turkeys tight lipped and our spirits in limbo. Journey with us as we unpack Ty's adventure and how the best-laid plans of hunters often find themselves at the mercy of the woods' whims.

Through the echoes of empty forests and the thrill of close calls, this episode is a campfire of shared tales and strategies for the the unexpected. Feel the heartbeat of the hunt as we dissect each strategic move in the river bottoms, the craftiness required to outwit an old gobbler, and the camaraderie that blooms amidst the trials of the chase.

As the sun sets on another day's adventure, we recline by the metaphorical fireside to laugh about the unpredictable joys and misadventures that come with hunting in Mississippi.

From the strategic ballet of luring a gobbler, to the physical demands of tackling uncharted and often perilous terrain, this episode is chock-full of the gritty details that hunters live for. We're laying it all out there, including the tensions that can arise on the spot and the peculiar hurdles of self-filming our pursuits. It's an honest look at the sport we love, filled with the sort of insights that only come when you're out in the field, learning on the fly.

The climax of our storytelling marathon features a turkey hunt that almost wasn't, complete with low expectations and a crafty bird that seemed to know every trick in the book. When the wild calls, you never know how the story will end, and this play-by-play of our critical decision-making in the moment will have you on the edge of your seat. So, load up on snacks (honey buns are optional), and join us for an episode that captures the unpredictable, exhilarating, and unscripted essence of hunting.

Of the many wild antics we encountered during spring turkey season, none compare to those Hunter experienced spending a week in the heartlands. Join us as we unravel our hunting tales, from the challenge of coaxing turkeys across roads to sleeping in trucks and the unexpected company of bees by the swarm and stray dogs. We're also throwing in some wisdom from our adventures, including why you can't always trust your gut on true north and what to do when faced with a seemingly carnivorous critter in the dead of night.

Ever had a swarm of bees turn your turkey hunt into a slapstick comedy? We've been there, dodging the buzz and missing chances at gobblers, all while juggling the demands of hunting the open fields of Nebraska's vast wilderness. But don't fret, we also talk about the triumphs, like the strategy behind nabbing a longbeard that strutted its way along an oddly deep cattle trail. Hear about the precision and patience required in these thrilling moments, and revel in the eccentricities that make each hunting trip an unpredictable journey.

To top it all off, we've got a gem of a story that's so dense with suspense and hilarity, we had to carve it into two parts—but don't worry, you won't be left hanging for long. The wilderness's peculiar challenges, like navigating entrenched cattle trails, add layers to our narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat. 

We're grateful for your company on these escapades and invite you to visualize the chase through our video clips if you're tuning in on YouTube in the coming days to watch the hunts unfold for yourself.

Picking up where we left off, we saved the best unique Alabama turkey for last - the loudest drumming bird we've ever hear, and one that happened to have solid white feet, weigh somewhere in the range of a quarter-ton, and had we not cleaned it, would still be stuck in strut.

We dissect the camaraderie that sustains us through the frustration and physical drain that hunting demands. There's also a recount of a particularly heavy turkey, complete with white feet and a penchant for strutting, that left us in awe of its unique characteristics and the sheer exhaustion of lugging it back home. This isn't just about the hunt; it's a testament to the indelible bond between hunters and the meticulous dance of outwitting a creature as wily as the turkey.

Wrapping up, we don't just relive the glory of a successful hunt. We share the very fabric of our passion—how even after days of fatigue, the obsession won't let our bodies call it quits. Our tales are a prelude to the excitement building up to the NWTF convention, where we can't wait to meet fellow enthusiasts and reveal what's new with Spring Legion. Booth #609

Remember, for all the latest hunts and stories that keep the heart of the hunt beating, follow us on YouTube and TikTok. Now, let's gear up for a season of storytelling that captures the essence of turkey hunting and the spirit of the community that loves it.

Our first multi-episode week of podcasts starts off with a couple stories of unique Alabama turkey hunts. This episode is packed with the kind of tales that make you lean in closer.

 With the NWTF convention just around the corner, we're excited to share our latest project releases and shake hands with fellow turkey hunters at Booth #609 and invite you to join us, alongside our friends at OnX, at Rick's Cafe in Starkville, Mississippi, for a live recording of our 100th episode.

Have you ever sat in the stillness of an early season morning, as an eastern's gobble echoes through the hardwoods? It's a feeling that never grows old to turkey hunters. We're bringing that experience straight to your ears, sharing the tactics, laughs, and heart-pounding moments from one of our latest turkey hunting adventures in north Georgia.

Turkey hunting is much more than just a sport; it's a dance with nature where every step counts. In this conversation, we navigate the varied landscapes of private and public lands, illustrating how the subtlest decisions can tilt the odds in our favor—or send us home with only stories to tell. 

Together, we dissect the intricacies of turkey behavior on hills and flatlands, the impact of weather on our feathered adversaries, and why setting up in the perfect spot sometimes means outsmarting hens and gobblers alike. And for those moments when the unexpected happens, like a wandering deer crashing the party, we share how we adapt and stay silent in the pursuit of the ultimate prize.

Wrapping up, we take a moment to reflect on the deep-rooted traditions and community spirit that make turkey hunting an enduring part of our heritage. This episode isn't just about the hunts; it's a tribute to the camaraderie, the anticipation of future outings, and how the legacy of turkey hunting is woven into our very fabric. 

Chase and I invite you to join us as we prepare for the NWTF convention and plan our next excursions, including a hopeful jaunt to South Florida. Whether you're an experienced hunter or just love a good story from the great outdoors, we guarantee you'll walk away from this episode feeling part of something much bigger than yourself.

Today, we weave through the shared excitement and anxiety that comes with hunting turkeys on public land. We recount the careful preparations required, and the significance of being able to adapt strategies on the fly. Plus, we detail a scenario in which we have all found ourselves, at some point - when a wise old gobbler sneaks in silently, 35 yards behind your left shoulder, and shakes the bark off the trees with a prominent gobble. 

There's a unique tension and decision-making process when another hunter's presence forces a change in plans, or when a turkey approaches silently, demanding the utmost patience and composure.

Our conversation touches on the moments of unexpected luck, like finding other hunters in your spot before daybreak, only to realize that it could turn into an advantage. 

The podcast episode concludes by highlighting the intricacies of Hunter's strategy for finding hard-to-reach turkeys on public land. We share the importance of scouting, preparation, and understanding turkey behavior, which can often seem counterintuitive. 

The narratives shared in this episode encapsulate the ethos of public land turkey hunting: the satisfaction of a successful hunt, months after the real effort took place.

Whether it's the ups and downs of travel or the thrill of the hunt, we invite you to laugh along and maybe even learn a thing or two about the spirit of perseverance that defines this spring turkey hunting trip to the Florida turkey woods. Austin, Chase, and Hunter can't wait to take you along for the ride.

There's something about the suspense of a turkey's gobble that sets a hunter's heart racing, and that's precisely the rollercoaster of emotions we unpack in this episode. Austin and Chase explore the strategy, all lows and highs included, behind their every move as we recount the day we pursued those long-bearded beauties with shimmering green-tinted backs. The camaraderie we share is palpable as we reflect on the seasoned wisdom of the chase, the decisions made in the heat of the moment, and the patience required when the hunt tests our mettle.

Finally, what's a hunting story without its share of road trip mayhem? The episode wraps with a hearty dose of humor as we relive the fatigue-laden drive across Southern states, the challenges of getting our hands on Chase's hunting tags, and the unexpected joys of a successful last-minute Hail Mary.

In today's episode, we recount the heart-pounding excitement of spring's early season turkey woods and the most gobbles we have ever heard within them. Hosts Hunter Farrior, Sills, and Chase dive into each of their different points of view, reliving a special hunt from last spring. Plus why Hunter waited so long to call to a group of fired-up longboards, and what each of them could and could not see as the morning unfolded.

Join us as we share the twist and turns of our hunting tales, where the unexpected is often what leads to the most memorable experiences. Buchanan, whom we have welcomed into our fold through a shared love for the outdoors, quickly became part of the Spring Legion's narrative, etching his role in the stories we'll tell for years to come. 

As the morning wraps, it's not just about the turkeys killed—it's about the pulse they provide, the timing and patience, and the laughter that follows a well-played hunt with good friends both old and new. So, gear up, listeners, and get ready for a wild ride through the Mississippi Delta turkey woods with the Spring Legion podcast.

Turkey hunting is a practice steeped in tradition and skill, a blend of patience, knowledge, and a deep respect for the natural world. The latest episode of our podcast brings to light the rich experiences of Hunter Farrior and his buddy/brother, Austin Sills and Chase Farrior, as they navigate the spring woods in pursuit of the ever elusive wild turkey.

The thrill of the hunt is palpable as Hunter recounts his recent move back to Mississippi, a decision that has brought new life to the podcast with a newly dedicated video studio and enhanced equipment. The trio's excitement for the upcoming turkey season is contagious, as they reminisce about recent sightings and the unique challenges they face while hunting these intelligent birds.

As they delve into their turkey hunting escapades, it becomes clear that the journey is as rewarding as the destination. From the loss of a camera filled with valuable footage to the intimate dance with a turkey in West Virginia, the hunters share their authentic experiences, both the highs and the lows. The discussion reveals the emotional toll of difficult hunts, the mental fortitude required to persevere, and the importance of remaining true to the sport, camera or no camera.

One of the most engaging aspects of the episode is the detailed observation of turkey behavior. Hunter's personal experience on a rainy ridge, using his ol faithful Greenleaf jacket as a shield against the elements, provides listeners with a front-row seat to the social dynamics of these birds, and how hunter mentally illustrates the insight he received of a henned up mountain gobbler. The strategic patience required to avoid overcalling and the subsequent appearance of a longbeard turkey with his hens encapsulates the essence of turkey hunting—a dance of strategy and serendipity.

The podcast doesn't just stop at recounting tales; it provides invaluable insights into turkey calling techniques. The hosts discuss the subtleties of using a scratch box, the restraint needed to let the turkey come into range, and the importance of understanding the bird's "temperature." These techniques are not merely stories; they are lessons in the art of turkey hunting, advice that listeners can take with them into the field.

In a reflection on the unpredictability of turkey hunting, the conversation shifts to a hunt in Alabama that made it to YouTube, albeit briefly. The hosts emphasize that experience and persistence are key to successful hunting, more so than perfect calling skills. They also consider the value of recording hunts, not just for personal memories but to share these experiences with a broader audience.

The episode wraps up with a discussion on turkey hunting gear, emphasizing the importance of listening to gobbles and interpreting their meanings. The hosts share their preference for using sound over sight in locating turkeys and the strategies they employ on public

"It's a damn disease is what it is."  quickly became an iconic quote which nearly all turkey hunters have seen or heard over the years. It was given by an old pro named Redbeard, with the moment captured by today's guest, Nathaniel Maddux, over seven years ago. From the land of Osceolas, Host Hunter Farrior catches a free morning to meet co-host Austin Sills down in Florida for a quick hunt, while hanging out with Pete Muller, Conner Mobley, and Nathaniel Maddux as they film and produce Spring Legion's "Turkey Call" episode for the NWTF series airing this spring. 

In this episode:  

• Hunter finally welcomes the twins into the world.  
• A backstory on the infamous "it's a damn disease" moment.   
• A quick Osceola hunt that will air via NWTF this season.
