Jenn Danella is a sportswoman, hunter, and wild game chef with a passion for the great outdoors. She was introduced to hunting at a young age by her father—and she still remembers their first fishing trip. She eventually started hunting on her own and with friends in high school, and soon after, hunting, fishing, and cooking became her full-time passions.

Her goal is to inspire everyone, but especially women and young adults, to get more involved in outdoor activities. She wants to showcase her own life as proof that women can be a strong asset to the hunting community through their skills and knowledge. In regards to wild game, Jenn believes it is important to share approachable recipes that celebrate the range of flavors wild game brings to the table. After all, there’s no better way to inspire more people to hunt and fish than by demonstrating how delicious it can be! Find her online at jenndanella.com.
