Stalking the Big Bird: A Tale of Turkeys, Biologists, and Bureaucrats

Stalking the Big Bird: A Tale of Turkeys, Biologists, and Bureaucrats

Editorial Reviews
Joe C. Truett, co-author of Circling Back: Chronicle of a Texas River Valley
"An honest and refreshing look at what really matters in wildlife conservation."

Book Description
While focusing on a particular bird of the Southwest, this book is really a field study of another rare species: the wildlife management professional. Through stories about his own experiences studying Merriam's wild turkey--anecdotes about the foibles of field work and the bureaucratic boondoggles of wildlife management--Shaw offers a sober and seasoned view of what managers are doing, and failing to do, in their efforts to protect the animals and landscapes that we love.
