The Meanings Behind The Moments - Ep. 8 Jarid Wulff

In this episode, we sit down with a man who has quietly shaped generations of young people — and who has been shaped just as deeply in return. Jarid Wulff joins me to talk about Narrow Lake Youth Camp, a place that changed my life and my kids’ lives in ways I’ll never forget. We dig into the years he spent volunteering there: the early mornings, the late nights, the laughter, the chaos, the breakthroughs. The moments where a kid’s world opens up… and the moments where Jarid realized his own was changing too. This conversation is about impact — the kind you don’t measure in numbers, but in memories, confidence, and the kind of growth that only happens when people show up for each other. We also dive into Jarid’s life as a hunter, father, and husband. He shares what it means to bring his wife and young children into the field with him — not as spectators, but as part of the story. No shortcuts, no “maybe when they’re older.” Just real family, real wilderness, and real lessons learned together. And of course… we get into the wild stuff. A bull moose harvest that will live in his memory forever and a November 30th last minute once‑in‑a‑lifetime elk! Moments where the adrenaline spikes, the world narrows, and you walk away changed. This episode is equal parts heart and horsepower — a tribute to the places that raise us, the people who guide us, and the wild experiences that remind us who we are.

FOCUSED, FILMED, FULFILLED EP.6 - Shane Hunts on 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.

FOOD, FRIENDS & FEELINGS EP.4 Darren Cheverie on VOICES, a podcast by DOA Dorward Outdoor Adventures

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.
