Is navigating public land hunting as challenging as it seems? Join us as we welcome back the exceptionally skilled, and a good buddy to us, Land Smathers to the Spring Legion Podcast. Known for his deep expertise in public land hunting, particularly turkeys in the Deep South, Land offers a treasure trove of insights from his expansive hunting experiences. We explore the thrill and complexity of hunting on public lands and compare it to the exclusivity of private hunting clubs. Our discussion paints a vivid picture of the excitement and fulfillment that comes from pursuing game across diverse terrains.

We also immerse ourselves in the world of spring turkey hunting, sharing nostalgic tales and strategic insights. Whether it's using kayaks for a stealthy approach on public lands or the sheer joy of early morning hunts captured on GoPro, the conversation reflects on cherished hunting traditions. As we gear up for the 2025 spring season, the focus remains on celebrating the camaraderie and excitement of turkey hunting. We invite our listeners to join the conversation, share their experiences, and suggest future guests, fostering a vibrant community of outdoor enthusiasts.
