Welcome to Fist Full of Dirt, the official podcast of Mossy Oak Properties hosted by Ronnie "Cuz" Strickland. Whether you own a small farm, lease land or just love hangin' in your backyard.. we’re all about the outdoor lifestyle and how to get the most from your time in God’s great Outdoors.

Send us Fan MailThis week I’m sitting down with Scott Branca from Branca Boys Spurs. Most turkey hunters know Scott from his incredible replica spur creations and custom knives but there’s a whole lot more to the man than craftsmanship.We talked turkeys .. how a hunt back in 1994 changed his life forever and why turkey hunting gets so deep in a man’s soul. Scott is one of those humble, steady people you’re thankful to know. The kind of man who quietly pours his heart into everything he creates. I believe y’all are really gonna enjoy this conversation.

Send us Fan MailThis week I’m sitting down with the guys from Great Plains Ag to talk summer food plots. Folks tend to overthink it sometimes, but the truth is it doesn’t have to be complicated. Heck… I did it.We’re talking timing, planting tips, mistakes to avoid, and ways to make your property better without turning it into a full time job. If you’ve been thinking about putting in a summer plot but weren’t sure where to start, this one’s for you.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailThis week’s episode is a little different and it’s one that means a whole lot to me. A few weeks ago I got a message from a family down in Georgia about a man named Jeff Daniel who was going through one of the hardest seasons of his life after losing his wife earlier this year. They thought maybe a short phone call from me might lift his spirits a little.Instead, I loaded up and drove to Georgia. What followed was one of the most meaningful weekends I’ve had in a long time. We shared supper, swapped stories and hunted together the next morning. But what I didn’t fully realize until later was just how much that time meant to Jeff and his family.Without me knowing it, “Laureen” reached out to Jeff’s grandson Clint and recorded their side of the story and hearing it for the first time on this podcast reminded me that sometimes the greatest part of hunting has very little to do with the hunt itself.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailThis week I’m in the middle of the spring turkey run, and it’s been a good one. I’m sharing two hunts that couldn’t have been more different… but both meant a lot.First, a road trip out to Nebraska with two of my grandsons where Cranky wrapped up his Grand Slam. There’s nothing like watching that happen and being there for it. Then, back closer to home, an unexpected hunt with my youngest daughter, Lauran. No big plans, no pressure.. just time together in the turkey woods. (And we made it count!) Two hunts, two stories and a reminder that it’s not always about the distance traveled or the tag filled, it’s about who you’re with when it happens.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailThis week we’re back with Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Marcus Lashley, better known as Dr. Disturbance. Last week we got into plenty of turkey talk and this week we’re picking right back up where we left off.Marcus has spent a lifetime studying wild turkeys but what I enjoy most is talking to him as a hunter. There’s a difference between knowing about turkeys and knowing how to hunt them.. and Marcus brings both to the table. We covered more strategy and stories so if you enjoyed Part 1, you’re gonna love part 2.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailThis week I’m sitting down with Dr. Marcus Lashley, better known to many of y’all as Dr. Disturbance. Most folks want to talk science, biology and research when they sit down with Marcus. That’s all good and well, but I wanted to talk TURKEY HUNTING.And let me tell you something… this man knows his way around the woods. We swapped stories, talked hunting strategy and what years in the woods will teach you. Marcus is sharp as they come, but he’s also the real deal when it comes to chasing longbeards.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailGod bless Texas. In this episode, I’m recapping a special trip down to the Lone Star State, starting with a hunt alongside the winner of the Foxhole Shootout Auction and then heading to Heart of Texas with my three grandsons.The highlight? My youngest grandson Ben (better known as “Cranky”) joining the brotherhood. He was able to harvest his 2nd Rio, but this time he called all the shots. This one’s special.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailAfter sharing the first five, it’s time to finish the list. In Part 2 of the “10 Commandments of Turkey Hunting,” I’m covering commandments six through ten… the rest of the tongue-in-cheek lessons the spring woods have taught me over the years. If you’ve spent any time chasing turkeys, you’ll probably recognize yourself in more than one of these. And if you’re new to it, maybe these last five commandments will save you a little frustration… or at least give you something to laugh about when things don’t go as planned.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411

Send us Fan MailAfter the overwhelming response to my NWTF Convention talk, I figured I’d bring the “10 Commandments of Turkey Hunting” straight to the podcast. These aren’t hardcore how to rules… they’re the tongue-in-cheek lessons and humorous truths you only learn in the turkey woods. In Part 1, I’m sharing the first five commandments. They’ll hopefully make you laugh, nod your head and probably remind you of a hunt that didn’t go quite as planned. Whether you’ve chased gobblers for decades or you’re just getting started, these stories will hit home.

Send us Fan MailThis week I’m sharing my account of the Mossy Oak 2026 Veterans Hunt down in south Florida. These hunts are always special. It’s time spent with men who’ve given more than most of us ever will. I’ve got a lot of admiration for these warriors and what they represent. Grateful for everyone who helps make it happen and for all of you who continue to support it.Stay connected with Fist Full of Dirt: Instagram: @ffodpodcastInstagram: @moplandforsaleTwitter: @FistDirtTikTok: @originalturkeythugInstagram : @CuzStricklandTwitter: @CuzStricklandFacebook: @CuzStricklandYouTube: Cuz411
