Description

HIS PLAN WAS TO STAY IN IOWA, maybe get a job counting ducks, or do a little farming. But events conspired to fling Carter Niemeyer westward and straight into the jaws of wolves. From his early years wrangling ornery federal trappers, eagles and grizzlies, to winning a skinning contest that paved the way for wolf reintroduction in the Northern Rockies, Carter Niemeyer reveals the wild and bumpy ride that turned a trapper - a killer - into a champion of wolves.

Critical Reviews

"Niemeyer's cogent tale is full of empathy, and his adventures and the mind-boggling challenges he faces will rivet readers." -Publishers Weekly

"...a Rooster Cogburn meets Forrest Gump adventure..." -The Oregonian

"(Niemeyer) is a kind of thoughtful everyman, beset by marital troubles, poverty, doubt, befriended by eccentric outcasts, often bossed around by lesser men, rattling along in a bucket-of-bolts old truck, hungry, cold, and always, always, enthralled with the wild animals that he, in the end, serves rather than destroys." - High Country News
