Product Description
In his newest book, Genesis of a Duck Cop, award-winning author Terry Grosz takes the time to reflect on the events in his life that led him to a career defending wildlife, and the milestones that occured within that career. With the same characteristic blend of outrage and humor that his readers have come to expect, this book also takes a look at the stories behind the man. The stories are numerous: there are heartbreaking tales of loss of innocence, the hilarious drama of coming-of-age, and the history of the courtship that led Grosz to his wife. Through it all, there are also the stories of adventure, rescue and danger that marked Grosz's earlier books. Learn how a boy who pitched hay, worked as a logger, played high school and college football, and discovered the beauty of the outdoors became the man who worked in state and federal wildlife enforcement for 32 years. And rediscover why, as people like him get more and more rare, we find that we need them more than ever.

 To Know Terry Grosz is to Love Him July 7, 2008
This book includes more about his personal life than his other books. Still some good stories though and you feel like you know him. Terry does repeat himself regarding his wife's support and various beliefs, but the game warden stories are so darn good that he is forgiven.
An over view of the real Terry Grosz July 2, 2008
Terry Grosz is a 6 foot plus conservation law enforcement agent of great renown, but who is he really? Duck Cop introduces you to Terry's life from the eighth grade on and lets you watch his love of nature grow from the days when hunting and fishing were done to feed the family to when his greatest joy was protecting "God's creatures". Terry always believed that he had two guardian angels keeping watch over him and that there were many times they had very ruffled feathers. Writing in his own distinctive manner you find yourself crying, laughing hysterically and wondering how in the world will he get out of his current scrape. A wonderful read of "Memories & Milestones".

We have all his books and this one definitely show how and why he became the Wildlife Warrior he was. I bought this for my husband but had to read it as Terry always tells a good story.

This review of Terry Grosz's book is based in part on the response of my husband, to whom it was a gift for Father's Day. He was thrilled. The men in our family are all hunters, fishermen and lovers of the Great Outdoors so it made sense to me to get the
latest book in the series. Our men, who are not wide seaching readers, devour these books, quote from them and pass them around. Based on Mr. Grosz' extensive experience in Wildlife Management, these stories are sometimes hysterically funny, sometimes maddening (at people's greed, cruelty and general stupidity toward animals) and always entertaining. I'm looking forward to purchasing the next book as a gift for one of my deserving fellas.

I bought all his books and consider him the best wildlife writer in the world. I usually check out my books at the library but his are to keep. Terry exceeded himself in Duck Cop. This book should be required reading for the downtrodden and the underprivileged. Terry's family life would have broken the average man. Hard knocks gave Terry the will to succeed. Thanks Terry for being man enough to tell us when you fell short and how you got up again.
