Dave Keller worked well at Marcy’s Filling Station but his great wish was to become a game warden—as fine and devoted a one as his father was. However, the waiting list was very long and the qualifications to be met were most exacting.Dave had a second big dream for the future. He wanted to prove that hunting the “varmints”—the coyotes, bobcats and lions that ran rampant in the nearby countryside—could prove a challenging, diverting sport to the countless hunters who swarmed into the area each open season, mostly in quest of deer. This would also put a stop to the reckless placing of poisoned bait by certain ruthless sheepmen whose flocks were being raided by the varmints.Dave’s invaluable aid in his campaign was his loyal companion, Mulligan, a very giant of a dog, who, like the famed stew, had a mingled makeup, but who feared no bobcat!How Dave moved toward his first goal through the second offers worthwhile reading.
