Description :

Born with a learning disability at a time when teachers didn’t know what to do, Dennis Pemble struggled with school and from bullying. No one ever asked him what he wanted to do or be when he grew up. But a family move when he was in Grade 5 resulted in meeting a guy who would become his best friend and whose dad was the animal control officer for BC’s Lower Mainland. They had hounds for cougar complaints and Dennis developed an aptitude for hounds and hunting which eventually led him to the rare three-decade career of literally hunting for a living – the envy of every hunter.

Required to keep a daily journal of his activities, Dennis now shares his stories of tracking stealthy cougars, relocating grizzlies, catching coyotes, and removing uninvited guests. Each wildlife encounter is as educational as it is entertaining. He will describe how wild animals are managed through the years, why sometimes animals can’t be relocated, and how humans can stay safe for animals’ sake.

During his career, Dennis Pemble shared his experiences with wildlife authors and reporters, bringing them on ride-alongs to witness his work first-hand. He has also contributed expertise to many magazines. Retired since 2008, Dennis lives in Abbotsford with his wife, Karen. They spent several months writing his memoir (The Last Wildlife Control Officer in BC: Thirty Years of Dealing with Problem Predators) in their cabin on Shuswap Lake.
