Full Description
Read this collection of illegal hunting and fishing stories, which prove that life as a game warden is surprisingly dangerous and thrilling.
Two conservation officers attempt to chase down a motorboat in their canoe. A married couple illegally catches more than 60,000 crappies over a 12-year span. A duo of poachers run over Tom Chapin's motorbike—and nearly kill him in the process. As a Minnesota game warden for 29 years, Tom investigated hundreds of harrowing and exhilarating cases. In Poachers Caught!, he shares 36 of his most memorable ones with you.
Throughout his career, Tom meticulously wrote daily reports and was a stickler for taking photographs to enhance his records. So the stories recounted here are as realistic and factual as possible. From the vividly detailed capture of illegal night hunters to the deconstruction of major fish poaching operations, Poachers Caught! allows you to experience each riveting encounter as if you were there.
The tales of true crime are action-packed, shocking, and wildly entertaining. They appeal to anyone with an interest in hunting, fishing, and law enforcement, as well as anyone who's concerned about the protection of our natural resources. Tom's writing serves as a tool for educating people about poaching and for promoting ethics in nature. It also yields a heightened appreciation for the wildlife officers who protect our fish and wildlife resources.
Tom says, "I always believed a game warden's job should focus on this one concern: providing an equal playing field for all who purchase a hunting or fishing license."
