The Spring Legion Podcast
Welcome to a year-round discussion on the wild turkey and those who hunt them. Hosted by Hunter Farrior, founder of Spring Legion and author of Ballad of a Turkey Hunter, the weekly podcast is geared for all outdoor communities and dives deeper than the usual tactics and calling tips. Holding true to the brand, topics are built upon respecting the heritage and challenges of hunting, with a never-ending appreciation for all that the spring season provides. Enjoy insight from special guests like Dave Owens of Pinhoti Project, Cuz Strickland of Mossy Oak, our friends at NWTF and Muscadine Bloodline, and so many more widely known for their impact in the turkey hunting community, as well as the deer, duck, and waterfowl realm, who exhibit the obsession of which only a real turkey hunter may truly understand. Thanks for listening.

Today, we discuss prescribed burning for wild turkey habitat with one of the most notable gurus in the entire country on the subject, Dr. Marcus Lashley AKA Dr. Disturbance.
We hope to see local listeners at The Refuge in Flowood, MS, at the Mississippi Wildlife Extravaganza on Friday 7/29/21 thru Sunday 8/1/21. Come meet hosts Hunter Farrior and Austin Sills at booth #509. Spring Legion Apparel will be available for purchase, as well as a book signing for Ballad of a Turkey Hunter throughout the entire trade show!

A few questions we asked Dr. Lashley:
- How do you get proper training and a permit for burning?
- How long until turkeys move back into a burned area?
- When and how often should you burn for better wild turkey habitat?
- How tall is undergrowth needing burned?
- Why is prescribed burning crucial for wildlife?
- What factors into the permissible burn window?
- Who should you reach out to when your land needs to be burned?
We hope y'all enjoy learning up on one of the most beneficial discussions we have ever hosted on The Spring Legion Podcast, in terms of bettering wildlife habitat, especially for the Wild Turkey.
