The Poacher's Nightmare

Stories of an Undercover Game Warden

By: Kennie Prince, James L. Cummins - editor, Alfred Nichols - foreword

Narrated by: Chris Abernathy

Racoons are not the only bandits wearing masks in the wilderness. Growing up, author Kennie Prince spent most of his time in the woods and creeks near his home in Rankin County, Mississippi. A highly skilled outdoorsman, Prince began his career with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife Conservation in 1983 and dedicated his life to protecting Mississippi's fish and wildlife resources in dangerous undercover work. The Poacher's Nightmare: Stories of an Undercover Game Warden contains dozens of hair-raising accounts of covert wildlife operations, often spanning years, requiring ingenious planning, complicated secrecy, and deft coordination.

Prince infiltrated bloody-minded, wary criminal groups, winning their trust. When his traps were fully set, he involved other state and federal law enforcement officials to bring an abrupt halt to abominable thefts of vast fish and wildlife resources from the public trust. Smart, creative, knowledgeable, tenacious, disciplined, passionate, and a natural-born actor, Prince bore a unique skill set that made him an ideal fit for this perilous undertaking. This memoir details how Prince gained the confidence of tightly knit circles of loyal, leery poachers and put an end to their destructive evil.

Fantastic Listen!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! The storytelling, the different cases, the overall feeling I got listening to it. Best of all, the author's consistently putting his faith and his walk with Jesus Christ first!

Amen.

Loved it. It was almost as though I was there with the author making arrests.

Interesting stories mixed with way too much preaching.

I enjoyed most of this book, but the freqent repeating of "God is good!" and constantly talking about how he believes God directly caused everything that happened in his life became very tiresome. The narrator was great and most of the stories were interesting.

Christ and the outdoorsman come together in a must listen book!

Incredible book. Wild stories of covert Mississippi Department of Wildlife Fisheries and Parks agents working some incredible cases and actually leading some of the targets of those investigations to find Christ. Phenomenally written and incredibly narrated. A must listen for any Christian outdoorsman. Or perhaps even better for those who don’t know Christ and the outdoors to find their way.

Dedicated and devoted man of God

Awesome warden. Didn’t want to put it down. I love the outdoors and I appreciate the men and woman of law enforcement. Not afraid or ashamed or the gospel.
