Hunter Farrior started Spring Legion Turkey Hunting in 2019 from a trailer in Learned, Mississippi — no internet, no warehouse, no plan. He joins the Mississippi Outdoors Podcast to tell the story of how it all happened.
Hunter talks about accidentally publishing his first book during quarantine, accidentally selling his first hat before he even knew how to ship it, and somehow ending up with an 18-wheeler dropping pallets at his residential address. He explains what separates turkey hunters from everyone else, what woodsmanship really means, and why he hunted the same turkey 83 times.
Spring Legion now ships gear, apparel, and books to turkey hunters across all 50 states and beyond — and it all started because Hunter wanted to preserve the heritage and tradition of turkey hunting in a digital age. Great episode for any turkey hunter who's ever felt like the obsession is a little out of control.
