Sequel to Wildlife Cameraman, (and one of my favorites by this author), this follows Jase Mason as he works for the Conservation Department in recording an elk migration. There is a lot of interesting writing regarding the conservation, and their still-new efforts to restore the wildlife, that make this interesting. Always enjoy his books. Seen again is also the Agent Tom, as well as some new characters. Add a few meat hunters, and you get a great tale.
