Great Podcast
I got roped into coaching a youth soccer team this spring, so combining that with family responsibilities I wasn’t able to get out much this season. Luckily, I discovered your podcast and have been listening religiously this entire spring to get my turkey fix. You guys have great conversations that are both understandable and educational. I’ve read both books and am already counting down the days until the next turkey season here in Iowa. You guys are doing fantastic work!

Religious
I listen to yall religiously over here in Arkansas…based on some of the tips, tricks, and feedback you’ve given out I was able to fill my limit of two long beards this spring for the first time ever at age 38! Yall Talk about exciting experiences which keeps it entertaining, but you talk about your love for turkey hunting which keeps me listening. There couldn’t be a better podcast for those of us who love the sport; all of us who consider themselves part of the Spring Legion! Thanks gentlemen, and keep it rolling!!!

Quality Content, Keep it up
I began listening thanks to my good friend who got me turkey hunting three springs ago. It’s perfect for earbuds at work or on long journeys (like my first out of state hunt in TN). Id like to thank this podcast for knowledge of situations and experiences to which I can either relate to or learn from. I also borrowed my friend’s copy of “Any Given Spring Morning”. It built me up and tore me down. Absolutely phenomenal. If you haven’t read it, do yourself a favor and grab a copy today. Talk about laugh until you cry (literally and figuratively). I’m waiting for a copy of “Ballad of a Turkey Hunter” currently.

Doesn’t get much better
The SL podcast is undoubtedly one of the best turkey hunting podcasts out there. Hunter and Chase discuss valuable information and provide tactics that can be applied to the turkey woods regardless of the region you hunt. Keep em coming guys.

THANK YOU
Thank you for putting out a clean and educational podcast I am 33 years old and just killed my first bird and did it on Louisiana public ground. Listening to the Spring Legion Podcast was a big part in making that happen thank you again and keep them coming.

March Fun
Honestly I hate podcasts. With that being said I am driving two hours for work one way and I started listening to an episode because I enjoy everything turkey also have your book. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening to all the relatable experiences in the woods and tips and tricks that I have forgotten about.

New to podcasts
I’m very fresh into listening to podcasts. Never gave it a thought. Didn’t even know I had a podcast app on my phone… but when I came across SPRING LEGION on a TikTok video. I immediately started listening. New and old. Very knowledgeable guys love listening to the storytelling. And all the information they share!

Long Live the Real
Some of the best hunting storytellers of our time. It’s a lost art, but I really feel like I’m sitting on the next tree over when y’all relive a tale from the turkey woods. Keep up the realism and honesty!

Love it!
Found the podcast a few months back and have listened to every episode since and some previous. I enjoy the knowledge and the honesty.

Go to for all things turkey
Hunter and Chase and even Sills the few times he makes an appearance are always so helpful with tips and tricks that I never would’ve thought about either in the turkey woods or just in preparation for it. They also always get back to me on Instagram when I have questions and they’re always willing to help a fellow turkey hunter. Real stewards of the game.

Great knowledge and Relatable
Have been listen to the guys for a while, and look forward to hearing each episode! I find myself remembering days in the woods and being in similar situations when the guys are telling stories. I feel like I could miss a whole hunt standing around the country store in the morning drinking coffee with these guys! So down to earth and relatable! I’m also learning something new each time I listen. If you’re new to the turkey woods, or been there before, everyone can learn something from the guys. Keep up the great content, amazing hunting gear, casual gear, and literature!

WV hunting
If y’all want to hunt some WV turkey next year let me know. I heard chase talking about wanting to hunt the east coast.

Learning curves never end in the turkey woods
First off amazing podcast/group of guys. Great content from beginner turkey hunters to experienced and all between. I consider myself in the in the between group. I have killed several turkeys in my day in Arkansas and I had thought I had a good system. Until them gap years hit and I’ve had to really work for them! The many tricks and tips, sometimes but not always, and woodsmanship skills you gentlemen preach on will make anyone listening a better turkey hunter. May not make them a better turkey killer but the passion and respect you fellas have trickle into the turkey hunters across the US making the group as a whole better! Proud to be a woodsman and proud to be a turkey hunter! Keep up the great!

New/Veteran Turkey hunters
If you are a new turkey hunter, or you have been tested and tried in these turkey woods, I definitely recommend listening to each and every episode. Awesome stories, great tips to learn from, and just an awesome couple of guys that continue to fire me up as PA spring turkey approaches!

A good reminder
Absolutely love listening to this podcast to get a little mind refresher on getting closer to a long beard and having more success in the spring. Talks a lot about being natural and getting where he can feel comfortable

Awesome podcast for all turkey hunters
Love this podcast for learning about the great sport of turkey hunting! I love how yall talk about all the facets of the sport and give newer guys like me confidence and tips to succeed. The woodsmanship you guys discuss really helps me be a better hunter. Keep up the good work fellas!

Grateful
As a guy that’s had to teach himself the woods and haven’t really had someone to guide me and pass on knowledge through my younger years, these guys help tie together the things I’ve scouted/seen/picked up while I’ve been outdoors. I’ve been hunting turkeys for about 6 years, and last year I finally shot my first bird. I had been close to bagging one a handful of times but could never close the deal. I worked this bird for 2 days and got him on the third. Public land in Florida. Thanks for all yall do and for helpin guys like me find success.

A great podcast and even better people
I love the show and their different takes on situations in the turkey woods, but it doesn’t compare to the quality of people behind the mic. At NWTF this past weekend, Chase went out of his way to make sure I got a free mask for wearing one of their shirts to the booth. Great Folks!

Love the podcast, helps hearing familiar stories to learn from and enjoy. I’d love to see you guys do a segment on calling sequences, as an intermediate turkey hunter just looking to improve on the little things.

Great show!!!
Each time I listen the guys throw a tip in that I have to pause the podcast and write it down so I don’t forget it.
Great show.

Turkey killing phase
I want to say thank you for all yall do for the wild turkey. After listening to the podcast old and new episodes I have realized that I have been in the phase that yall talk about. Only caring about shooting and killing the bird and not the bird itself. But yall have made me look at turkey hunting in a completely different way and will be going into the woods this year with a way different perspective. Not going to use decoys, just a yelper and a shot gun.

Best podcast
Love this podcast. As a turkey hunter I love listening to other turkey hunters sharing stories and giving advice! I’ve listened to you all since i started hunting when I was 15. Now that I’m 17 I know from listening to guys I’ve learned a lot from this podcast.

Late season public
Hey guys love the podcast. What are y’all’s thought on traveling, finding and hunting late season public birds after everyone has put the gun up and called it a season versus early season pressure
Gucci_Maines
Great podcast
Great podcast for learning about the Wild Turkey! From Houdini black magic to tree hopping long beards. Not a better way to get your mind right for this Spring listening to them.
GarrettRose2
Great Listen
I randomly came across this podcast on a Facebook reel. Needless to say I'm hooked. As a life long turkey hunter I can't get enough talkin turkeys. The podcast provides insight on some of my experiences and actually brings up some things I may have overlooked regardless if I was successful in some of my particular hunts. Now that it just turned 2025 I'm full send already to the spring turkey seasons. Keep up the good content boys!

Great!!
Great to have yall back, also glad to see some people my age carry themselves as turkey hunters in a way that a turkey hunter should carry themself, and that is with the most respect for the turkey. Thanks for setting the bar for others. 👍🏼

My obsession with the wild turkey has me always looking for turkey talk and like minded individuals. I found this podcast shortly after they started and love the talks and tips and discussions around the subject. Top notch podcast and just wish it was 365.

Podcast about the obsession!!
Great podcast talking about everyone’s spring obsession. Great for picking up tips and they honest about when they mess up. Sounds like some guys I would like to hunt with.

The new age Tom Kelly’s
Found out about these guys at ricks cafe in Starkville. Loved the live show and ordered a book and read through it within 2 days (haven’t done that in many years). Their mindset is that of the legends that a lot of people have forgotten and Hunter’s books and the spring legion podcast will show you just what I’m talking about. Got a chance to talk to em a few times at the NWTF convention and they’re just some good guys who love turkey hunting and the companionship and woodsmanship that comes with it. Awesome show guys

To the kings of spring:
Always love hearing yall talk all things turkey and hearing yalls experiences! Keep inspiring the younger generation to get out there and get after those thunder chickens!

My personal favorite podcast.
As many modern outdoors men nowadays, I listen to a lot of podcasts. There is no shortage of them. But these fellas, stand with the best of the best, unapologetic for who they are nor wavering in their convictions. They are learning as we are learning with them and it is endearing in today’s world. I’ve messaged Hunter and Chase both a few times and been happy to hold conversations with both at different times. Genuine men, with genuine passion, and it’s enjoyable and enlightening to digest.

Keep the Fire Burning
Hunter and Chase,
As a young turkey hunter, I appreciate listening to the stories you guys have to tell. Y’all make it seem like I was there on these hunts, and I feel like I’m learning from turkeys that I never knew existed. It’s nice to see a passion for the wild turkey being shown in December, when the wild turkey is the last thing on many people’s minds. Great stuff you guys are putting out and glad to hear there many more to come.

Solid Turkey Hunting Podcast
As a passionate turkey hunter, I listen to quite a few podcasts. Hunter and crew do a great job of keeping you interested and wanting more. Knowledgeable guests help even an avid turkey hunter learn a thing about areas where most never even consider.

Spring Legion is awesome
Man I don’t know these guys but I feel like I do. It feels like I’ve stood around a tailgate talking with them. Love the podcast and am looking forward to a successful 2025 season

Best Turkey Hunting Podcast 🦃
The Spring Legion Boys have passion for Turkey Hunting! Hearing that intro into the podcast maybe the best sound there is! But on a serious note when it comes to Turkey Hunting, Hunter, Chase, and Austin have a wealth of knowledge. They are the definition of woodsman and the knowledge from this podcast has made me a better Turkey Hunter. Anyone who enjoys the outdoors and gettin after a few thunder chickens will enjoy this podcast!
On a side note check out Hunters two books as well. Any Given Spring Morning and Ballad of a Turkey Hunter, both are freaking GREAT!
