"River Boots" with Robert Lynn Steiner


Listen Later

River Boots is a career synopsis, a training manual, a history book and one conservation officer's slightly twisted view of a quarter century in the business. It is a sometimes "belly laughing" look at a profession that can turn deadly serious in a second and can leave tears running down your face from laughter a few minutes later. The 253 stories in River Boots were written for fishermen, hunters, boaters, conservation officers and their deputies, all law enforcement officers and anyone that has an interest in the outdoors. For conservation officers it is a textbook, with the how-tos and the how-not-tos, the whys and the why-nots. For conservation agency folks, it is a bit of nostalgia with a smirk. Other law enforcement officers will see a little deadly serious, perhaps lifesaving thinking, coupled with a "Barney Miller" attitude. Folks considering a job in the agencies will get an on-the-spot look at what they are asking for and will come away eagerly awaiting their turn to join in. The license-buying hunter, fisherman or boater will get a firsthand look at how their license fees are spent for the good of the sport, the environment and the fish and game resources. Sorry, no statistics or charts included. You will laugh at the scofflaws and the conservation officers alike. Mostly, like reading "Notes from the Stream" or "Field Notes" produced by our fish and game agencies, you will grin and laugh and ponder.

Robert Lynn Steiner is a retired PA Fish & Boat Commission Waterways Conservation Officer.
