"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.  
• The rich history of "Turkey Call."

For those who love hunting the wild turkey, one of the biggest drivers for such obsession is figuring them out. Today's guest spends a large portion of his time doing exactly that, and he hops on the line with host Hunter Farrior to fill us in on a few things he's learned about the bird along the way. Dr. Mike Chamberlain leads several research projects across the southeast, which study wild turkeys and their behavior, so there's a lot of good to learn as we prepare for the season right around the corner.

In this episode:  

• The probability of a turkey egg hatching and becoming a mature gobbler.  
• Do jakes breed hens?  
• Can you determine a gobblers age by spur length?  
• Should you shoot the strutter or subordinate gobbler if two approach you?  
• Insight on current studies using devices to read and record public land gobbles.

• Creating a cult-like culture and what makes turkey hunting so special.

Thanks to a mail-bag story entry, from a loyal podcast listener, hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills dive into what makes turkey hunting so special, along with the difference in turkey hunters and other outdoorsmen, particularly those who "get it."  

Also in this episode:  

• What are the most urgent responsibilities of turkey hunters?  
• Should we be concerned about the future of turkey hunting?  
• How can we retain the image of the hunting community for good?  
• Is fanning and reaping a product of not properly passing down turkey hunting?   
• Memories made in the spring turkey woods impact more than we realize.  
• Dissecting the demographics of those who "get it."  

We certainly believe that these are some valuable points of interest surrounding the current state of the wild turkey, and those who hold the hunting of them near and dear to their hearts and purpose, and we look forward to hearing from those who agree and even disagree with our two cents on the subjects.

Today, we discuss prescribed burning for wild turkey habitat with one of the most notable gurus in the entire country on the subject, Dr. Marcus Lashley AKA Dr. Disturbance.  

We hope to see local listeners at The Refuge in Flowood, MS, at the Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza on Friday 7/29/21 thru Sunday 8/1/21. Come meet hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills at booth #509. Spring Legion Apparel will be available for purchase, as well as a book signing for Ballad of a Turkey Hunter throughout the entire trade show! 

The new address to The MS Wildlife Extravaganza is 2200 Refuge Blvd, Flowood, MS 39232 
 
A few questions we asked Dr. Lashley:   
 

•  How do you get proper training and a permit for burning?  
•  How long until turkeys move back into a burned area?  
•  When and how often should you burn for better wild turkey habitat?  
•  How tall is undergrowth needing burned?   
•   Why is prescribed burning crucial for wildlife?  
• What factors into the permissible burn window?  
• Who should you reach out to when your land needs to be burned?  

We hope y'all enjoy learning up on one of the most beneficial discussions we have ever hosted on The Spring Legion Podcast, in terms of bettering wildlife habitat, especially for the Wild Turkey.

We're kicking off an off-season full of behind-the-scenes insight, conservation Q&A, and  up and coming organizations in the outdoors with an interesting look behind the design for a new line of gear which focuses primarily on waterfowling.

Whether you're a turkey hunter who survives the off-season by wading through the hardwoods, or an all-around outdoorsman who has been looking forward to duck season since hanging up the turkey vest this past spring, we think you'll enjoy hearing the processes behind creating a new product in the outdoor space, as host Hunter Farrior sits down to pick the mind of Chêne Gear's designer Jeff Jones. 

As mentioned in the opening comments, Spring Legion has just released four new designs of summer tee shirts, including up to eight color options for anybody needing an affordable, comfortable, casual tee to wear around this summer while planting food plots, running trail cameras, or just hanging out with friends.

To learn more about the Chêne Gear line of products and waders that will be launching on July 14, 2021, check them out at chenegear.com 

Upcoming episodes will be centered around the realm of conservation and habitat management for the wild turkey, including a dive into the rising Turkeys For Tomorrow Organization, so click the subscribe button to follow along!

Highly requested guest, and a crucial part of the Spring Legion team, Breck Farrior finally hops on an episode to talk turkey with host and oldest brother, Hunter Farrior, amid dodging tornados and chasing Texas Rios this week.   

Eleven years separate the two brothers, but without Breck, The Spring Legion Podcast would not be, as he is the tech guru of the group with all things audio and video. Dubbed the "Rio Magnet" over the years, Breck has held a passion for hunting Texas Rios since the age of seven, and is since known for his descriptive story telling when it pertains to the subject.  

Also in this episode:  

• Two Tornados travel alongside the truck on the ride into turkey camp.  
• Jakes, Jakes, and more Jakes.  
• Breck's first solo hunt results in a huge Mississippi gobbler.  
• Hunter decides to spend the next few weeks hunting and filming alongside new people in the industry to connect with likeminded turkey hunters across the nation - so feel free to reach out if you see him in the area!

Host Hunter Farrior heads down to Alabama to do a little turkey hunting with Slade Johnston, of Trips4Trade.com, to get a little background on Slade’s latest role in a new world record for the Wild Turkey Grand Slam.  

Slade details the hunts of which he and the team pursued harvesting an Eastern, Osceola, Rio Grande, and Merriams all under the then-standing world record of 46 hours. The quest was taken in efforts to raise donations and new or renewed memberships for the NWTF.

Woodsmanship in turkey hunting is crucial - it is also by far the most requested topic we receive from our listeners. This week's episode takes a situation that hosts, Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills, found themselves in while hunting longbeards with Logan Cooke a few weeks ago, and provides some explanation to the hunt.   
 
Click Here to watch "OFF DAYS: EP 3" on Mossy Oak Go   

Even better than explanation, the video to reference is viewable on Logan Cooke's new show "Off Season" which is available on the Mossy Oak Go App and will be featured on next Monday's Mossy Oak Go's Live Series. A link to the show is provided above and really helps unfold how the hunt went down according to this week's episode.   

Also in this episode:  

• Repositioning on stubborn henned-up gobblers   
• Setup approach: West vs. East   
• Camouflage choices  
• When to call to turkeys  
• When to be patient and when to make a move  

We highly encourage y'all to check out Logan's hunting show "Off Days" and help spread the word to the turkey hunting community. He does an awesome job capturing the hunts and providing real outdoor content when he's not working at his day-job, playing NFL football for the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills are headed back to Mississippi a day early with four Osceola fans on the dash.

• Gobbles - All or Nothing.  
• Logan Cooke joins a hunt to capture an awesome six-hour battle with a henned up Osceola on film and also helps the fellow Mississippians adapt to the new terrain and subspecies in his new home state.

Our good buddy Gary Stanton makes the trip from Nashville, TN, down to Mississippi to hunt turkeys with hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills again for the second straight year.  Gary reflects on his reintroduction into turkey hunting and the wild ride his lifestyle, and the music industry as a whole, has taken within the past year.  Gary is a great example of what it means to be obsessed with the pursuit, regardless of prior experience or years spent in the spring woods.  

In this Episode:  

• How Gary met Hunter and Sills on a spontaneous MS turkey hunt last year.  
• How 2020's canceled live-shows and music tours opened doors for a new passion.  
• Hunter and Sills each give their opinion on the hot topic concerning changes in bag limits, season dates, and other measures being taken for the sake of wild turkey populations.  
• The responsibility of turkey hunters and the direction of turkey hunting as we know it.  
• The inevitable impact of today's culture - how social media, trends, and excess innovation are potentially derailing the heritage of an American pastime.  
• Are you trying to make turkey hunting easier or to become a better turkey hunter?
