A Turkey Hunter’s Testimony with Cuz Strickland

In this powerful and heartfelt episode of the Turkey Season Podcast, host Paul Campbell sits down with legendary turkey hunter and storyteller Cuz Strickland for a conversation that goes far beyond the spring woods. From Paul's emotional story of discovering turkey hunting during one of the darkest times in his life, to unforgettable moments in the early days of Mossy Oak and "The Truth" video series, this episode is packed with legacy, laughter, and a deep love for the wild turkey.

Cuz reflects on his time with icons like Will Primos, Harold Knight, and Colonel Tom Kelly, and shares the deeply moving story of a young hunter named Ryan "The Rock" Welch—one of the most memorable hunts of his life. Together, Paul and Cuz dive into the spiritual pull of the spring woods, the four stages of a hunter’s journey, and why turkey hunting continues to change lives.
