Burro Creek Canyon is a deep, jagged gash carved into the Malpai Mesa of western Arizona. It's wild country-isolated, unforgiving, and ruled by rock, heat, and distance. Out here, cattle can turn feral in a heartbeat, slipping beyond fences and human control.
When an environmental group decides this hard land is the perfect place to reintroduce a jaguar, trouble follows fast.
Predators don't recognize property lines, and ranchers don't take kindly to experiments that put their livelihoods at risk. Tensions rise, cattle disappear, and the canyon becomes a battleground between modern ideals and old-time survival.
Read on to see how the cowboys of Burro Creek deal with a problem as ancient as the land itself.

Along the way, Dennis has been a active roper in rodeos and jackpot competitions. He's been a finalist in the international feedlot team roping finals, first in Las Vegas, then Elko Nevada. In 2012 he started writing, first in memoirs of forty years in the cattle business, then moving on to cowboy fiction. Most of his work has been an enjoyable pastime.
Since he retired from rodeoing, he has started producing the 'REX ALLEN DAYS RODEO' in Rex s home town of Willcox AZ.
Rex was Dennis' hero and from early childhood, he has always wanted to be an Arizona cowboy.
