Full Description
More stories, more action, more danger—read these shocking true accounts of illegal hunting and fishing activity, as told by a former game warden.
An out-of-state firefighter poaches 186 walleyes for his department's fish fry. Two nights and two high-speed chases result in the capture of two pike poachers. Illegal hunters lead a conservation officer into the woods and hold him at gunpoint. If you thought Poachers Caught! was exhilarating, get ready for the sequel! Tom Chapin, a Minnesota game warden for 29 years, was cussed at, chased, shot at, and nearly run over. He has enlisted the help of his colleagues and friends to present another 31 harrowing accounts in More Poachers Caught! Read about some of the most memorable poachers who were ever busted—and some who got away.
To keep the stories as accurate as possible, Tom relied on official recordings, written reports, and photographs taken on the job. Dangerous, spontaneous, and sometimes comedic, these short stories bring readers face-to-face with the problem of poaching. They represent greed, selfishness, and hope.
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."
