- 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 TH-cam, 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 lands.
As the podcast comes to a close, Hunter Farrier expresses gratitude for the community that has formed around Spring Legion, both through the podcast and the brand. He invites listeners to join in the shared passion for turkey hunting, to learn and grow together, and to anticipate the thrill of the next spring turkey season.
