The Spring Legion Podcast

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 wood...

We stack booth 607 with spring bundles, then shift into pure story mode with Seals: a youth hunt that ends in laughter, all-day chess with a Kansas gobbler, a heavy Missouri bird, and quiet lessons from boss hens and foggy Florida mornings. The thread is simple—stay patient, hunt the bird in front of you, and let the woods set the pace. • NWTF week setup at the Gaylord and booth 607 • $250 spring bundles and surprise giveaways for Spring Legion gear • Youth hunt chaos and a strutter at the p...

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,...

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...

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 la...

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 an...

Today, we're talking about Chase's big Delta buck, and taking a deep dive on smarter spring turkey hunting tactics. We unpack first chances, second chances, midday loafing, sign-reading, terrain, and the confidence to walk away and win tomorrow. In this episode: • cold front, new gear and a busy shop • Delta buck story, management and shot follow-up • why first chances feel best but second chances pay • midday loafing windows and patient scouting • reading sign before calling and moving with...

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 punis...
