Page v This book is dedicated to Elliott Sutta, one of the most intelligent and complex world of wildlife professionals I ever met. He was always able to understand the big picture and respond to its trials, no matter what legal trail he had to take in order to guar antee its success. He was always there, supplying gifted counsel, supported by an ethic that loved challenge, and providing solutions that furthered the preservation of the resources of this great land of ours. To the man I admire as a wildlife professional, respect as a man, and love as a brother, I dedicate this book of stories from one westering man to another.

Page ix Preface Originally, I hoped to leave behind some form of written word as a record of my days as a California state Fish and Game warden, then as a U.S. game management agent, and finally as a special agent with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Initially, this dream of short stories was committed to loose stacks of paper in a forgotten corner of my office, which were someday to act as a reminder to my children and grandchildren of what their father and grandfather had done with thirty-two years of his life. However, as the work in progress grew and others shared in the reading of those loose stacks of paper, another dream began to grow Today those dreams and paper stacks have metamorphosed into the book you now hold in your hands. This book traces my footprints across the face of time in the world of wildlife as I tried to protect those natural resources, our national heritage, if you will, against forces hell-bent on their destruction.
