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

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.
