Second Cache BULL PEN CHRONICLES: More I-Witnessed Brouhaha of a Stony Mountain Game Warden (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578340807)

Stalking similar ground as his first book, the Second Cache resumes tattling tales of Colorado Wildlife Officer Stephen H. Porter; time stamped stories, essays, and poems, personifying the (mis)behavior of people interacting with North Park's rich and diverse wildlife resources.

Na?e as a spring colt, green as spring grass, Steve galloped into North Park an educated, well-trained, and well-equipped recruit who soon realized his cultural, social, and biological education had just begun. And what a journey it was! Riding herd over droves of men and women recreating throughout the North Park outback for over two decades, Steve encountered awe-inspiring tales on every trail.

Set in the high elevation remoteness of North Park, the Native American bison hunting grounds they called the Bull Pen, the reader will understand why Steve's lengthy stay extended far beyond the valley's wild splendor. The human element of family, friends, community, sense of place; working for the wildlife resource with people who cherishes it as much as he does.

Both the First and Second Cache were Steve's Covid-19 therapy, giving him time to complete the most mind boggling, soul cleansing, heart wrenching accomplishment of his entire life.

Written as personal memoirs to be enjoyed by family and friends, Steve's tales have roused the imaginations of those who hunt and/or fish, those who do not, and others interested in the duties of a Rocky Mountain game warden. Those enjoying the taste of the First Cache, will certainly savor the stories penned in the Second.
