It helps that I am sitting in a cabin in Eden VT on a lake no less. These stories are as funny as Grizzard or Foxworthy. And even better-they are true or mostly so. “No cussin, no gore, all funny” no kidding. I read two of these in as many days and enjoyed them thoroughly. A little disappointed when I was done like a kid who eats the last slice of cake. Imagine my delight when I encountered at least three if not four more at Bear Pond Books in Stowe. Added to my haul of all things Vermont to take back home to TN.

Just finished this one, very, very entertaining. My Uncle was a Vermont Game Warden and reading this book; brought back sweet memories of stories he used to tell us. Each story had it's own degree of suspense and humor. Cannot quite declare which one I liked the best. Like Luke declared in "Gimme the Gun" these guys are truly angels. Enjoyed this easy read immensely.

3+ This is a book of true short stories from a Vt. Game Warden. Some of the stories are more engaging than others, and it's a very light read, but it's a fun one. I read stories to my husband on long car rides. The occupation of Game Warden is not one I ever wondered about. This book opens fun new windows!

Vermont Wild: Adventures of Vermont Fish & Game Wardens by Megan Price is an excellent and frequently hilarious read. Though I doubt you'll find this is bookstores outside of Vermont, it is well worth "Amazon-ing" for.

I bought this while vacationing in Vermont. a compilation of many crazy short stories of Vermont Fish & Game Wardens. I enjoyed hearing about the hungry bears, raucous raccoons, clever poachers and so much more. A fun read.

A fun and sometimes gross book about the life and times of former Vermont Game Warden.
It got a lot of laughs! I think it would be a fun book to read around the camp fire on story at a time!

[Rebecca Sofferman]

Very fun book for fans of the outdoors, hunting, fishing, or animals. Funny and entertaining.

[Julia]

Each chapter being a different story is nice and makes for a light read.

I would to sit around a camp Fire with Eric Nuse and listen to him tell his tales of adventure. His stories. like those of most rural game wardens are full of animal stories and hunters who do not respect the law.

The book however did not meet my expectations. The writing somehow got in the way of the stories.

A fun read, but not one that I would really recommend. But if you ever hear of Eric Nuse speaking in your area, I would go.

Great stories! Who knew being a Fish & Game Warden could be so interesting? Moose Vesuvius was the first story I read per a friend's recommendation and after that I just had to purchase the book. I'm looking forward to future volumes.

[Carol Hall]

getting so i really dislike books that replace indented new paragraphs with unindented double spacing. it makes the story too choppy to read.
