About this listen
This compelling nonfiction work takes the reader into a convoluted eight month infiltration of a group of squalid criminals trafficking in wildlife by two undercover game wardens. Latham doesn't hold back on the language in this book nor does he downplay the vile acts that occurred against both the human and wildlife victims in this twisted tale. If you think poachers are just a bunch of good old boys out for a bit of meat, this true story is bound to reshape your opinion. Books written about undercover wildlife trafficking investigations are rare - this one will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Story
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.

Story
This white-knuckled tale is about Idaho game warden Charley Cove struggling to stop a bloody string of deer shot and left in the snow. He's stymied by a lackadaisical prosecutor and a questionable deputy - the tug of two cultures running through his veins seem to be pulling him in different directions. Cove uncovers evidence that ties the shooter to crimes against people, and unknown to the warden, his bad guy is about to come unglued and drag his bloodbath into a nightmare for a two-legged victim.

Story
On a cold winter night in 1928, three deputies are sent to arrest a man they know little about. They don’t know he’s on the run from a string of dark acts that stretch for 15,000 miles or why he’s shown up in the middle of Idaho. They don’t know that a far-off court has charged him with lunacy. They just know they need to arrest him. This gripping chronicle—filled with more than a dozen murders—twists and turns like a dust devil on a hot July day.

Story
In 1908, near Folsom, New Mexico, a cowboy discovered the remains of a herd of extinct giant bison. By examining flint points embedded in the bones, archeologists later determined that a band of humans had killed and butchered the animals 12,450 years ago. This discovery vastly expanded America's known human history but also revealed the long-standing danger Homo sapiens presented to the continent's evolutionary richness. Distinguished scholar Dan Flores's ambitious history chronicles the epoch in which humans and animals have coexisted in the "wild new world" of North America.

Fascinating and Riveting!
Fascinating look at illegal game hunting in rural America. This was a riveting book with plenty of suspense and action--even better because it's true! About an Idaho Fish & Game undercover officer investigating a ring of illegal wildlife hunters who slaughtered hundreds of elk, deer, moose and salmon for illegal sale of meat.
I was born and raised in a big city and I thoroughly enjoyed this glimpse into a way of life that I have never experienced.

Absolutely well done, and exciting to the end!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I picked up this novel on recommendation from a friend. I have very little exposure to the topic of trafficking, much less the ins and outs of hunting for game. This book not only was a well written and fascinating story about a game warden's work in stopping trafficking as an undercover agent, but also was well narrated and presented! With Audiobooks, I am always worried about how the narrator will present the book and the story of the author, whether it is fiction or non-fiction. However, I was very thrilled with the narration provided, which made this book an easy and exciting listen.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone that either loves wildlife and wants to hear about some of the abuses that exist today (as well as the work being done to curb and stop trafficking), or are looking to expand their knowledge into new areas. The story is well written, well narrated, and is captivating and compelling. I would love to hear more stories like this!
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the slow build, the thoughts of the author as he slowly entered a world that was completely different from everything that he knew before, as well as the characters presented and the conclusion of the events. The author took his time in detailing a world in which you could easily imagine the people, locations, and events. Very well done!!
Which scene was your favorite?
My favorite scene in this book was the build up to the conclusion of the climax (no spoilers), as well as the tension that was created.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely. It took me about two days to listen to the entire audiobook, which is a quick listen in any account.
Any additional comments?
Both the Author (in sharing his story) and the narrator (in presenting the story) did fantastic jobs in sharing this tale of trafficking. Would love to read/hear more from both author and narrator, and will recommend to friends.

not bad
Good story, i knew people could be sorry pieces of crap but the people this game warden delt with are worse. Its amazing the kind of people these guys have to deal with. I am thankful for them. The story got slow for a bit but overall kept me interested because i wanted to know what charges they would get.

The ugly underworld of poaching exposed
a harsh glimpse into the carefree waste of wildlife for profit, the grim Fate of wildlife hunted out of season and sold for a few bucks from the back of a pickup. justice remains underserved in this dangerous game.

Great insight into what happens behind the scenes
I've known Tony for many years and he is very passionate about his work with the IFG. His passion also shows in his writing. Great story with detail so that you not left wondering. Enjoyed the book from the start, you will too. Just never accept home made jerky from Tony. His leaves a nasty aftertaste!
