Most Texas game wardens work alone much of the time in very rural out of the way and unnamed places. It is not uncommon for wardens to find themselves in situations where they are enforcing the law on uncooperative subjects who are armed. They are alone with no other officers in sight for miles. And, at a hidden hunting camp on some secluded ranch at midnight, no one could find them even if backup was available. This is when training, skill, experience, and luck come in. The skills and knowledge they possess, the conditions that they sometimes work under, and the uniqueness of the state they serve makes Texas State Game Wardens an elite group of law enforcement officers. For a quarter century the author was proud to be one of those game wardens. These are his stories. TALES OF A TEXAS GAME WARDEN is an opportunity for a reader to climb aboard and go on patrol with one of Texas' most experienced and well-known game wardens. In the woods and over the water, through daylight and darkness, sometimes deadly serious, sometimes just humorous, this thrilling collection of tales reveals what it is really like to wear the blue badge of a Texas Game Warden.

The year was 1977. The internet had not yet come to be. Cell phones were not even a concept. Cars were still powered by high power, belch fire V-8 engines. GPS and Satellite navigation were years down the road of development and nautical travel was described in terms of compass deviation, dead reckoning and chart plotting. Law enforcement communication was comprised of 5 watt hand held radios, tube/transistor type mobile radios and station to station radios at the district offices. Text messaging was several decades in the future. And Menominee County was a sportsman's paradise. Fresh from the police academy, Conservation Officer Wayne Coleman is about to embark upon the adventure of a lifetime. His lifelong dream of becoming a Game Warden has been realized with his assignment in the forests and farming country of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. During the next quarter century many changes and developments make his career varied and exciting. Wild Turkeys are introduced into his county. Increased populations of Black Bear bring new challenges, more hunters and new problems. The local fishery expands with the introduction of new species of sport fish. Changes in hunting, fishing and recreational safety laws mean new methods of enforcement; some for the better; others, not so much. Ride along with Officer Coleman as he recounts the experiences of his career. Some of the stories are exciting and informative. Some are humorous, some are tragic. Some will show mankind's darker face, some will renew your faith in humanity. The stories are based on true accounts with many of the names changed for numerous, obvious reasons. Enjoy, good and faithful reader!

Tall Tales is a short peek into the sometimes exciting, often funny, and occasionally scary 33 year career of Washington Fish and Wildlife Police Officer Steve Rogers. From trapping beaver, raccoons, and cougars to herding elk on snowmobile to catching poachers, there were not many dull moments. Whether horse packing into the high country or running boat patrols on the Columbia River and undercover fishing patrols, there was always plenty of work to do. There was never a quiet deer or elk season in Central Washington, especially when there were antler restrictions involved. Rogers worked with a wide variety of people from fellow Washington Game Wardens and Biologists, to Forest Service Agents, and Officers with County, City, and State Agencies. He forged lasting friendships with many trappers, sportsmen, and fishermen. He also made a few enemies that had no sense of humor. There must be humor in this line of work. One final note - not a good idea to write your local Sheriff a ticket.
