The latest episode of the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast features Hunter Farrior, who began Spring Legion Turkey Hunting in 2019 with no plans, no internet, and no warehouse. Farrior started his venture from a trailer in Learned, Mississippi, and discusses how it all unfolded, according to the podcast.
Farrior recounts how he accidentally published his first book during quarantine and sold his first hat before he even knew how to ship it. He also describes the chaos of having an 18-wheeler drop pallets at his residential address. The episode explores what sets turkey hunters apart and the importance of woodsmanship.
Farrior explains why he hunted the same turkey 83 times and shares his mission to preserve turkey hunting heritage in a digital age. Spring Legion now ships gear, apparel, and books to turkey hunters across all 50 states and beyond, all driven by Farrior’s passion for tradition.
