(NY: Lothrop, Lee & Shepard Co. 160 p. 1969, March 15, 1969)
Jack lighters, or deer shiners, drug hunters of waterfowl, alligator thieves, hawk killers, and fish robbers - these are some of the human predators whose crimes a wildlife agent somehow has to witness and then prove in court. Using cars, planes, snowmobiles, boats, and scuba-diving, equipment, conservation officers try to search out the violators of state and federal law, and often risk their lives in their efforts to protect our natural heritage.
