Mercury"Sometimes humorous, sometimes harrowing… this book is for the outdoorsman or anyone who craves the true tales of an alligator-wrestling, drug-cartel-snuffing undercover badass."Garden and Gun Magazine"For readers who love the outdoors and lowcountry wildlife, this is a must-read book."Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier"The book is entertaining, funny enough to make you laugh out loud, and, above all, insightful."Columbia (S.C.) State"The stories are pure, honest and unembellished… Moïse ably demonstrates his passion for his job."International Game Warden Magazine"KnowingReading this book, at times, I came to appreciate how it is that rare and extraordinary folks walk among us, administer to us, lay their hands on us and greatly desire that we be comforted, healed and lifted up. I got my first camera 4 decades ago.I've developed a love for capturing "the moment".My love of adventure combined with my curiosity have put me in some unbelievable places.In the early eighties I became involved with environmental issues.Over time I became the spokesman for all the Sierra Club Groups in my home state of South Carolina.My connections got me pointed down an ever increasing number of wilderness pathways.Traveling by plane,auto,sail,canoe,kayak and on foot I have learned to sneak up on scenes from Death Valley California to The Western Isles of Scotland.My camera is always with me.The necessity of earning a living keeps me primarily in The Lowcountry of South Carolina.My photography puts me in many of the same places that this Author writes about.Scouting in the daytime ,I take for granted getting up in the dark,traveling in the dark and getting in position early. This one fills the bill. Nice book, but was a bit disappointed.. Typically one gThis memoir chronicles grueling stakeouts, complex trials, hair-raising adventures, and daily interactions with a host of outrageous personalities.. Moise served with distinction as a South Carolina game warden for nearly a quarter century, patrolling the coastal woods and waters of the Palmetto State
