Game Warden Stories

Protecting the Great Outdoors...One Story at a Time! They go by many names: game wardens, conservation officers, fish cops...but whatever you call them, their job is the same: to make sure that natural resources are not depleted, and that the bounty of forests and waterways is shared equally. To do their job, they need the acumen of a detective, and the best of them can stand alongside big-city policemen in their skills and smarts. Finding a needle in a haystack looks easy compared to finding a shell casing in 60 acres of woods. Matching tire tracks to a vehicle that might be 10 or more miles away is a challenge that could require interviewing myriad people with varying levels of recall and veracity. But with all the challenges, human nature always provides comic relief. This entertaining memoir from a game warden demonstrates the ups and downs of an unusual and fascinating job. Every conservation officer has many tales to tell...enjoy these thought-provoking and often hilarious anecdotes of the great outdoors.
