Captivating real-life events that will take you to forests and fields where you will feel the passion of experienced investigators as they uncover the facts of injury and death, 30 chapters of "CSI In The Woods"
These stories uncover the actual facts, not just what some think might have happened. They will dispel the mistaken notion that “It was just a hunting accident.” This term has been used too long as the standard answer in hunting incidents. Law Enforcement, the media and people in general accept these words as if to say, “no harm was meant”, and “they have suffered enough.” Therefore, no one should be held accountable because, after all, “it was just an accident.” As the reader, you will no longer readily accept the word “accident” when it is used to describe an incident involving firearm tragedy. You will visualize the impact these cases have on the investigators themselves and how they persevere despite the personal toll. The passion they share and their need to know has become their lives’ work. Held up by their faith and integrity; the mission to save one more family from tragedy is the river that runs deeply through the authors of this book. Their years of service, honor, determination and dedication, not to mention the worldwide respect they have earned from their peers in the field, has been nothing but extraordinary.

The use and misuse of firearms make the news every day. Each of these news stories focuses on the trauma that comes from bad people doing bad things with firearms. In contrast, this book will let the reader know what happens when everyday people fail to follow the basic rules of safe hunting and firearms handling. When these rules are followed, hunting and handling firearms is proven safer than swimming or golf. However, these rare mishaps will still make front-page news because every firearm incident - intentional or accidental - is a tragedy. The lessons learned after each story will do what the authors intended by sharing these stories, instill the “PREVENTION” of Hunting Related Shootings.
