How to keep his friend the fisher from raiding his father's trapline poses a problem for young fourteen-year-old Terry Carter. For Pekan regards the trap baits of fresh meat as a good source of food in the deep winters when all wildlife battles for survival. He not only springs empty traps and eats the bait, but will devour any trapped animal he finds as well. Pekan survives both the deadly set gun and the snares with which Long Joe attempts to rid himself of his unwelcome trapline guest, and what Pekan learns provides Terry with a way of protecting his father's traps. Eventually a bond of friendship forms between Terry and Sheba, the pet cougar that he raised from a kitten, and Pekan the Shadow.
