Voices: A podcast by DOA Dorward Outdoor Adventures

In this episode, I sit down with the one and only Shane Hunts—a self‑filming diehard, a storyteller in his own right, and a guy who brings equal parts wit, grit, and humor to every hunt he touches. We dive into the early roots of his passion for the outdoors, shaped by family influence long before he ever picked up a camera. From there, Shane walks us through the decision to uproot his life and head west to Alberta—a move driven by opportunity, adventure, and the pull of big‑woods whitetails. We get into the art (and chaos) of self‑filming hunts, the discipline it takes to hold out for a buck that matches a very specific vision, and the mindset behind staying patient when the season tests you. Shane’s honesty and humor make this one feel like a campfire conversation—raw, real, and full of good laughs. If you love stories about growth, grit, and the pursuit of something bigger than the tag, you’re going to enjoy this one.

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Darren Cheverie for a conversation that hits every note of what makes the hunting lifestyle so meaningful — the food, the friendships, the emotions, and the unforgettable moments in the wild. We dive deep into the art of cooking wild game and the respect that comes with harvesting your own food. Darren opens up about the powerful bonds built with hunting partners — the kind of friendships forged through early mornings, long sits, shared doubts, and shared triumphs. This one is packed with stories that matter: • Experiencing “firsts” in the field with his daughter by his side including • Harvesting his first bear • Taking his target whitetail with a bow • His first rifle harvest — another milestone shared with her He also shares the story of an unbelievable night where he tags a big bull moose and a whitetail buck within minutes of each other! It’s an episode about more than hunting. It’s about connection, mentorship, gratitude, and the moments that remind us why we return to the woods year after year. If you’re here for wild game cooking, emotional storytelling, or the true meaning of friendship in the outdoors, this is one you won’t want to miss!

In this episode, I sit down with Jon Lehman for an in-depth conversation about family, tradition, and the powerful connection that forms when life is lived outdoors. Jon shares meaningful stories about mentoring his young sons in the outdoors, including the emotional and unforgettable experience of watching his son take his first big game harvest—a whitetail deer taken this past season. We discuss what that moment truly represents: responsibility, respect for wildlife, and the passing of hard-earned knowledge from one generation to the next. The conversation also turns to a challenging elk hunting season that tested both patience and perseverance, and how setbacks in the field often become our greatest teachers. Jon reflects on the lessons learned and the drive that keeps him returning to the elk woods year after year. One of the highlights of this episode is Jon’s account of building a log cabin deep in the remote wilderness with a group of close friends. This ambitious project became a gateway into reviving the lost art of trapping, reconnecting with self-reliance, and rediscovering what it truly means to live simply and intentionally in wild places.If you enjoy real hunting stories, backcountry living, wilderness skills, and authentic conversations about life outdoors, this episode delivers!Connect with me on the following social platforms for more!Instagram - @DorwardOutdoorAdventures Facebook - @Dorward Outdoor Adventures #OutdoorPodcast #HuntingPodcast #WhitetailDeer #ElkHunting #WildernessLiving #BackcountryLife #LogCabin #Trapping #CanadianOutdoors #WildNorth #DOAVoices
