Voices: A podcast by DOA Dorward Outdoor Adventures

Geoff Dorward

VOICES is the newest addition to the DOA channel ! This is a podcast where the outdoors comes alive through the people who live it. Each episode brings you face-to-face with hunters, anglers, and adventurers as they share their stories, their lessons, and their voices. More than just tales of the wild, VOICES dives into the person behind the adventure, capturing the grit, gratitude, and wisdom that make outdoor life unforgettable. Available in both audio and video, every conversation is posted on YouTube so you can see and hear the stories as they unfold. For years, I’ve invited viewers into the raw, unforgettable moments of the outdoors—standing just yards away from big game, feeling the surge of adrenaline as an arrow leaves the string, and sharing the flood of emotions that follow a harvest. Alongside the triumphs, I’ve opened up about the hard lessons and the mental battles that come with facing the wild landscapes of Alberta, Canada. These experiences have built a foundation of authenticity and connection with my audience, and now I’m expanding that journey. VOICES is where I bring in the people whose stories inspire me—hunters, anglers, and adventurers—so together we can share their voices, their challenges, and their outdoor journeys with the community we’re building. From bow hunting and archery, to rifle, to the pursuit of big game animals like deer, moose, elk, and bear—including the challenge of big horn sheep and rams—VOICES explores the full spectrum of outdoor adventure. We’ll dive into fishing stories, whether it’s battling trout, perch, pike and walleye in open water or braving the chill of ice fishing. Beyond the hunt, the podcast embraces hiking, backpacking, and the rugged beauty of the mountains, always circling back to the inspiration that drives us into the wild. These are the experiences, lessons, and voices that connect us to the outdoors and to each other.

    Kids, Cabins & Campfires Ep.2 Jon Lehman on VOICES, a podcast by DOA Dorward Outdoor Adventures

    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!
