Upstate New York is the setting for Colonel Meek's new dog story, in which Rip, a pointer, and his master, Budge Outland, a Game Protector for the State of New York, carry out the trying job of enforcing game laws in the interests of conservation. Out-of-season hunting and illegal fur trade are their main problems, requiring of them expert detection work and keen knowledge of the outdoors. Often at the risk of their lives, the two of them live through an exciting story of a little-known, yet extremely valuable branch of public service.
