Nick sits down with generalist hunter and kitchen wizz, Ward Danger. Ward has traveled all over pursuing many types of game, including some time Africa. He has spent time as a guide, worked in the oil fields, and has put together his very own seasoning blend called Musketpowder. This guy is a walking talking story book of awesome adventures.

Show Notes:

Ward takes on his journey of chasing after critter all over the country and even the globe. His story of culling an aging giraffe in South Africa was eye opening. Both to the obserdity of trying to stalk a 16 foot creature without being seen, and how the taking of that animal was used to feed the village for a period of time. His perspective on Texas hogs is also a bite into reality. Having a family member who runs a ranch and has to deal with the pig infestation on a day to day basis, Ward has some strong feelings about what needs to be done.

Ward has also gone through the process of creating and marketing his own seasoning blend. Musketpowder is almost an extension of that famous hot sauce “you can put that sh*t on anything”. The blend really highlights whatever you put it on. The addition of de-caffinated coffee was surpirising to me. Just that little bit of slight bitter, makes the whole dish sing.
