If you're in need of anything from creating a website, online storefront, and professional logo, to becoming one of only five official sponsors for The Spring Legion Podcast, we're dedicated to working toward a better outdoor community by helping bring your idea to life and getting your message in front of like-minded people.
Spring Legion went through growing pains just like every other business in the outdoor industry; the show's hosts, Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills, reflect on the early days, the lessons learned the hard way, and dive into some of the lasting friendships made along the way. Sills talks about our gator hunt this past weekend, and we rain-check a round-table discussion due to Hurricane Ida.

On this Part 2 episode, we're not just swapping hunting stories; we're taking you on a wild ride through the highs and lows of our outdoor adventures, replete with unexpected encounters and the kind of camaraderie that can only be forged in the great outdoors.
Strap in for tales of triumph and tribulation as we navigate the unpredictable world of turkey hunting on public lands. 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.
