Jackson Landers has a unique solution to the problem: Eat them! This adventure narrative describes Landerss quest to hunt twelve invasive animal species and turn them into delicious meals, showing how anyone can feed a family while enjoying the thrill of the hunt and helping to protect and conserve the natural environment.
