After thirty years as a West Virginia conservation officer, David R. Long has some incredible stories to tell. Entrusted with the conservation of a wild land and the protection of those who enjoy it, Long is well aware of the highs and lows of his profession. But for this Appalachian game warden, it's his deep love for the land that fueled his passion for natural resources law enforcement for more than three decades. This vivid environmental memoir chronicles adventures through the rivers, fields, mountains, and forests of one of America's wildest regions. Readers step into Long's shoes as he tracks poachers, captures bears, patrols rivers on kayak, and lives off the land he loves. Along the way, he explains what it really means to be a rural game warden and offers readers a front-row seat to the sweat of summer, the chill of winter and the beauty of every sunrise.
