What happens when you combine the thrill of deer hunting with the serenity of sobriety? In this episode of the Spiritual Underground Podcast, host Dan Reeves takes listeners to the Fargo Hunt Club for a unique blend of outdoor adventure and personal growth. Recorded on a crisp November evening, Dan and his crew—Shane, Travis, LJ, and his brother Neil—gather for their fourth annual Sober Dudes Deer Hunt.
This isn’t just any hunting trip; it’s a celebration of recovery, camaraderie, and the healing power of nature. Dan shares how this tradition has become a cornerstone of his sobriety, offering not just the thrill of the hunt but also moments of deep reflection and connection.

Whether you're a seasoned hunter or someone curious about how outdoor activities can enhance recovery, this episode offers a fresh perspective on finding joy and meaning in the journey.
