LIVE From Starkville: Talking Turkey with Lake Pickle and Jordan Blissett

Gather 'round the campfire, fellow turkey hunting aficionados, and join us at Rick's Cafe for a centennial celebration of the Spring Legion Podcast that's sure to ruffle some feathers—in the best way possible. 

Our special guest, NFL's Logan Cooke, doesn't just punt footballs but also champions the cause for clean water in Kenya through his work with Zoe Ministries. Lake and Jordan, from OnX and Open Season, stop by to regale us with their journey from wide-eyed novices to seasoned pros in the outdoor industry. It's more than just an evening; it's an assembly of stories, charity, and the shared passion that ignites every hunter's spirit.

As dawn breaks over public lands, so do the tales of triumph and the odd gobbler that got away. This episode is your backstage pass to the strategies that mold the craft of turkey hunting, from the old-timer wisdom on roosting to the serendipity of an impromptu chase with a shotgun in hand. Listen closely as we unravel the twine that binds turkey behavior to the land we steward, with a nod to prescribed burns and their intriguing role in the ecosystem. Whether you're a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to the call of the wild, these anecdotes from the woods will surely add a few new feathers to your cap.

Let's talk turkey stamps, mouth call techniques, and the symphony of sounds that can make or break your spring hunting plans. The conversation flutters from tales of moonlit turkey landings to heartfelt discussions about wildlife conservation with experts like Adam Butler. And when it comes to finding the perfect pitch, we debate the merits of glass vs. slate with the gusto of a gobbler in full strut. So whether you're out there to listen, learn, or just enjoy the camaraderie, this episode of the Spring Legion Podcast is your ticket to the greatest show on dirt.
