Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Book DescriptionPennsylvania Wildlife Tails is a fun way to learn about wild birds and animals. Wasserman, a state game warden for 32 years, has heard some pretty wild tales (er, tails in this case) about wild critters. Herein you will find 94 amazing anecdotes about encounters with humans and animals. This book is guaranteed to make you laugh. From the Publisher: Having spent more than sixty years in the outdoors, Wasserman has learned one indisputable fact about animals: whenever you tell someone that a wild critter won't behave (or misbehave for that matter) in a certain way, you're bound to be made a fool. This is a fun book for hunters, nature lovers and those who enjoy reading about birds and animals, especially when they act in unusual ways.

Follow in his footsteps as he wrestles with deer trapped inside buildings, confronts rabid raccoons, subdues combative Canada geese, investigates deadly hunting accidents, tracks down villainous urban trappers and much more. Wasserman has proven once again that he knows how to keep you turning pages in this sometimes humorous and sometimes emotional assortment of tales from his first years as a young game warden.

Excerpts from Poacher Wars:'I imagined my chest being ripped apart by a brutal magnum slug as I picked my way up the mountain. Then I quickly shook the nightmare out of my head, my skull screaming back at me that in thirty years of chasing armed poachers, I had always come out unscathed.''Sinbad came barreling around the corner in an astounding wheel stand! He was coming straight for me, his red mane billowing wildly about his head, lips twisted in a lunatic grin.' 'He could see two men inside, two rifles on the seat between them. And in that fleeting second, he realized he was outnumbered and outgunned! He reached back quickly and grabbed the butt of his revolver, pulling it from his holster.''I looked back at the injured man. Bud had his shirt open, his body deathly white. Thick, purplish blood seeped from his wound. He could die right here! I thought grimly.'Author BioWilliam Wasserman, a third-degree black belt in Korean karate, and a former national bodybuilding champion, has written four books about his life as a state game warden.

You'll feel like you're right there watching everything happen in front of your eyes. It's a must read that might just save your life one day.Deceit, Lies and Alibis is about poachers who will do and say just about anything in order to kill over the limit of game. But Wasserman uses a few tricks of his own to get confessions from these outlaws.Outlaw Trappers is about a man who should have been born a hundred years ago. He is a self-professed outlaw who traps out of season, uses illegal traps, and trespasses on private property at will.

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - As a Pennsylvania Game Warden for more than three decades, Wasserman investigated thousands of game law violations and arrested many violent career poachers. But another big part of his job was in the public relations and education field where he penned a weekly newspaper column entitled It's a Wild Life.

It's a book that expands one's sense of awareness about the complexities of the natural world surrounding us and helps the reader understand and appreciate its existence both with and without human interference.
