Episode notes
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!
