Wildlife Wars

The Life and Times of a Fish and Game Warden

By: Terry Grosz

Narrated by: Pete Simonelli

Length: 10 hrs and 28 mins

Publisher's summary

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. Wildlife Wars is the winner of the 2000 National Outdoor Book Award, Nature and the Environment Category.

Sad it had to end

One less great book to enjoy in my daily routine, I'll miss looking forward to the stories each morning.

What a surprise!

So good and well worth the listen. The worst pet is that it ends leaving you wanting more.

Great storyteller

Loved this book. Wish there were 5 more to go along with it. Sad to hear Mr Grosz has passed on. Rest in peace lawman, may your tales inspire the next generation of Mother Natures protectors and watch over them as they do so.

Fun and entertaining listen

If you could sum up Wildlife Wars in three words, what would they be?

Griping, Fun, Outdoors

What other book might you compare Wildlife Wars to and why?

Although there is not a direct comparison that I have, it fits the outdoor genera with books like Into the Wild, The Monkey Wrench Gang, The Golden Spruce, A River Runs Through It.

Have you listened to any of Pete Simonelli’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first Pete Simonelli book. I did enjoy his reading.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The secret life of those that protect our natural resources!

Any additional comments?

I really did enjoy this read and have recommended it to friends and family.

wow.. amazing story. I will listen again. get this

its hard to find new books this good. go get it, get it. worth it.

Scofflaws won't like this

Reminds me that there are those who don't respect resources. I want my grandchildren to see the migration of water flow and the bugle of an Elk. I am a meat eater and love the flavor of venison but like harvesting there is a season for this activity

Great experience and example!

Wonderful true stories to look forward to listening to - it’s refreshing to have a strong moral role model for others to look up to thank you Terry, for the great stories and sharing so much of your life and career with us.

Game warden memoirs worth the read

This is the third book I've read by game wardens. It is the first one that stands up as actual literature. Well written, with vivid imagery, striking metaphor, and appropriate pacing. It often had me laughing hysterically, and occasionally had me wiping my tears away. I suspect that anyone giving the book a negative review had been caught and cited by author Terry Grosz.

Amazing tales of shameful waste of wildlufe

These short stories share the grind, adventure, humor and shock about people who shamelessly waste wildlufe resources for selfish intent.

Awesome story!

As an avid sportsman, I can appreciate the job that the Warden service does every day. As the author states, if they don’t stand up for the wildlife, who will?
