The Last DaysIt is inevitable. The day will come for every outdoor enthusiast--the hunter, the fisherman, the trapper, and all others so inclined--when the ravages of time and life itself will speak the words, "That's it." There will be no reversal. What is done is done. Only the memories of days afield will remain.It is to these memories of mine and those of all outdoor adventurers that I dedicate this book to. For those who have not yet reached this end stage, I challenge you to prepare for that day by not only making new memories but, in some form or fashion, taking steps to preserve them. Photographs, daily logs, and other recording methods will help ensure that when it ends, the memories will not. You need not write it all down as I have done with this book. But by some method, I encourage you to prepare a record of some type that will suffice for your needs.Glory be to God for creating the fields and forests within which I found so much pleasure and comfort. Maybe sometime in the future afterlife, my loyal Mia and I will be reunited again, together, to walk the golden fields of grass, looking for the elusive pheasant.

The book is a collection of stories and situations a game warden will encounter in his work. The work can be difficult and very disheartening and at times very gratifying. Wardens do much more than enforcing fish and game law, and many of these activities are noted. I have offered a few tips about hunting and fishing, which I have learned during my seventy-five years of participation in these activities and observations gathered while spending countless hours in the great outdoors. The goal of this book is to inform the public about a warden's life and the many things he is involved with in his work. I'm sure there will be some who will be critical of what I've put on paper, but I can assure you, what I've written ain't fiction. I hope you purchase a copy of my book, read it with an open mind, enjoy a few laughs, learn some things you weren't aware of, come away with a little more support, and hopefully respect for the work a game warden does for wildlife and benefits created for those who care about our great natural resources today and for generations to come.
