Book Description
In "Wildlife Wars," Terry Grosz serves up fascinating stories—alternately hair-raising, hilarious, and heart-wrenching—from his 30-year struggle to protect wildlife in America. A natural storyteller, Grosz writes about the remarkable characters he met—on both sides of the law—as he matched wits with elk poachers, salmon snaggers, commercial-market duck hunters, and a host of other law-breakers. Best of all, though, these stories are so remarkably entertaining you won't want to put them down.

 Another great book by a great author August 12, 2008
My husband is a Game Warden and I bought this for him. He could not put it down! He said it was very well written and very interesting. He then passed it along to his fellow officers, recommending it to all of them.
In place of the docudrama on Animal Planet Network July 7, 2008
When you can't think of a thing to give your outdoor guys, this is it. I was introduced to Terry Grosz on the docudrama on Animal Planet Network and wanted to give the DVD as a gift. I could not find it; I wish it were for sale. The stories in this book are primarily the basis for the TV show. He is an excellent story teller who has a profound regard for our wildlife and game. He nails the humour in serious situations. Just a great read.
Excellent read from a Game Warden March 24, 2008
I first picked up this book not knowing what to expect, I thought if it was bad, I would throw it in the corner. Little did I know, how much I'd love this book and actually all of them in the series. From the first page, I was not able to put the book down. I think I read Wildlife Wars in about 3 days and quickly started ordering all the books. Mr. Grosz is a bear of a man with a heart as big as he is! He spent 25+ years defending wildlife so that the next generation would have something left. Some of the stories are exciting, others comical and some just amazing, but in the end I was sad finish the book. When reading his adventures, its easy to close your eyes and picture what he saw so many years ago. If you are looking for an adventurous book that leaves an impression on you, then this is book for you.
Helped shape a path for me March 16, 2008
I bought this book back when I was a junior in high school, in 2002. At the time I was considering where I wanted to go to school and what I wanted to major in. This book, and others by Terry, helped me decide that wildlife conservation was my path. I've since graduated from Humboldt State with my BS in Wildlife Management and Conservation and will be applying this fall as a Conservation Officer in Idaho. Wildlife management takes many forms, from academia to habitat management, but I've decided I can best protect "America's wildlife heritage" by being part of the first line of defense against their destruction thanks in large part to getting a idea of the field from Terry's first hand experiences. Terry also stresses the importance of community support and education if we are to have a hope of winning the wildlife wars. The field of wildlife is my passion, and Terry's books helped put me on that path.
 Easy Read January 7, 2008
This is a fun, easy to read book. I hate to think that all of the incidents of this book occured, but at least there are some out there willing to fight for those who can't fight for themselves. Love the way Grosz lays down the law.
