Grouser Looking for a Sponsor

Seeing Jim's faded vest in the photo with Phoebe - the same vest I helped him purchase c. 1995 - I realized that what he really needs is a corporate sponsor.

I don't consider myself to be a gear guy, but I do love my Badlands vest from Uplander's Warehouse. The ergonomic suspension system rides perfectly during long, grouseless trecks through the Pennsylvania woods. The game pouch can handle all the treed fool hens a man can shoot in the early Maine grouse season. My vest even has a slot for a "hydration bag" to slake the thirst that comes with missing grouse after grouse in northern Wisconsin coverts. And, the vest is extremely versatile. It'll handle timberdoodles too.

Thinking Like a Manager:

Reflections on Wildlife Management

by John F. Organ, Daniel J. Decker, Len H. Carpenter,

William F. Siemer and Shawn J. Riley

Artwork by Daniel P. Metz

2006 120 pages

Thinking Like a Manager is a fictional novel that follows six wildlife managers—each a representative of a different perspective of the profession—succeeding an emergency survey mission in the aftermath of an oil spill in the Northwest. With the mission complete and with time on their hands due to inclement weather, they discuss the doctrines, theories and tribulations facing contemporary wildlife biologists. Some struggle with and some embrace the human element in wildlife management, yet all agree that the element is inescapable.

Thinking Like a Manager is an entertaining means of exploring the interrelationships of Aldo Leopold¹s ecological tenets, the public trust doctrine and sociological practices that today's wildlife management professionals must incorporate to be effective. For a profession that has changed drastically since its inception in the early 1900s, this novel offers a model for teamwork to achieve such an end.
