Really??

Although I enjoyed the bear stories, it makes me sick to think about the hog stories. I, personally wanted to hear about the good, bad & ugly, funny about the bears and yes I got that, but your stories about the hogs disturbed me. All creatures, good or bad, and who are YOU to make that call?? A ranger who supposedly loves wildlife but yet determined what is good or bad. I don’t get it, and I will NEVER understand this.
Shame on you protectors of wildlife.
Sorry but not sorry about my opinion.

Hilarious Reality of a Park Ranger

Amazing, funny and touching. Read both volumes. I can’t wait for more. I’ve always enjoyed the Smokies and now to hear someone who spent their life there has been a blessing.

Not just a continuation of book 1

I really enjoyed book 1, but I figured book 2 would be just more of the same, and I didn’t think it would be as good as the first. I was very pleasantly surprised. The descriptions of the challenges and successes of the elk and red wolf reintroduction programs were fascinating, particularly since one of our local science museums has participated in the red wolf breeding program. This book far exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it.

I could hardly put my earphones Down.

Kim is an entertaining author, and the reader made me feel like I was right there in the Smokies listening to a live wildlife ranger. Kim's stories come out of his own personal experiences.

I was moved by his compassion for the animals, from the bears to the bats to the hogs to the elk. He risked his life for the preservation of the animals and for the park. He also provides guidelines for encountering a bear, and gives strict warnings about not feeding any wild animal.

I highly recommend this book, for outdoor adventurers as well as for city slickers.

A great story that will entertain and educate

This book is about another under appreciated essential occupation we need in our Nation's National Parks. These professionals keep the wildlife and the "dumb" visitors safe at their peril. The book was entertaining but also and education in how people treat the natural wonders of our Nation. Very enjoyable. Read book 1 too.

Great Story

The story was very captivating and the person reading it was perfect. I felt like I was there watching the story unfold. I loved it and learned a lit along the way.

Disturbing

A good book about the very dedicated men and women of the Forest service.
I will say that if you have to sacrifice a healthy animal at the very least the meat should be donated to those in need. What a waste to bury an elk when it could have fed many. People are extremely self-centered when they feed wild animals, more often than not leading to a tragic outcome for the very creatures they are so fascinated by.
