Description
Most people have never imagined the often dicey, comical, and sometimes bizarre job of a Florida game warden. Backcountry Lawman tells what it’s like to catch an armed poacher in the act – alone, at night, without backup or a decent radio to call for help. These stories describe the cat-and-mouse games often played between game wardens and poachers of ducks, turkeys, hogs, deer, gators, and other species. Few people realize that “”monkey fishing”” – electrocution of catfish – had the same outlaw mystique in the rivers of Florida as moonshining once did in the hills of Georgia and Tennessee.
