Taller Tales could be considered a sequel to the original Tall Tales. But, it is also a memoir of the life and times of retired Washington State Fish and Wildlife Police Officer (Game Warden) Steve Rogers. It is a compilation of examples of working conditions, seasons, job tasks, and mention of the many people Rogers worked with over the years. He wanted to make the point that being a Game Warden is not just writing tickets to bad guys, although that is a big part of it. So many other duties round up the big picture of the job. As a deep thinker and ponderer of life (see front cover), Rogers wanted to impart a few lessons learned, or things NOT to do during a career in wildlife enforcement. Like, don’t believe an “elk proof fence” is; Don’t release turkeys or try to increase the goose population before thinking of the ramifications; Don’t get caught shooting from your vehicle; and for God’s sake, don’t cross the border into Canada at the International Peace Gardens with a loaded pistol on your hip.
