Wildlife agents prepare themselves for anything. In the blink of
an eye, a routine arrest for hunting rabbits at night -- a crime
that carries only a nominal fine -- can turn into a manhunt, with
an officer's life suddenly at risk.
In Louisiana Wildlife Agents, officers tell of the unimaginable
dangers lurking in their supposedly mundane tasks as they police
Louisiana's bayous and backroads. The sequel to Game Warden: On
Patrol in Louisiana, this book allows wardens to share their
stories detailing the perils and pleasures of life behind the
wildlife badge.
Jerald Horst has compiled dozens of vivid anecdotes, including,
among others, accounts of the grueling training academy for
wildlife agents and the real dangers in New Orleans after Hurricane
Katrina, all told in the officers' voices. Agents' spouses also
share their perspectives on the work of a wildlife guardian.
Thrilling and amusing, at times heart-wrenching, but always
life-affirming, the stories of Louisiana Wildlife Agents will
instill in readers a new respect and appreciation for this
challenging profession.
