[Mike Bowditch 4.50] • M04.5 The Bear Trap

RETIRED MAINE WARDEN PILOT Charley Stevens is one of the most popular characters in the Mike Bowditch series. So I thought it might be fun to write a short story about his first year as a warden in the 1970s.

The result is "The Bear Trap," about Charley's battle of wits with a mysterious "North Woods Hermit"

Legendary Maine woodsman and bush pilot Charley Stevens tries to convince young Mike Bowditch of the dangers awaiting rookie game wardens.
