5.0 out of 5 stars A very funny book about deerhunting, September 18, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Buck Peterson's Complete Guide to Deer Hunting (Roadkill) (Paperback)

My family has been deerhunting for years and I've listened to many funny stories about their hunts. This book is a funny guidebook and has lots of neat illustrations too. My mom gave the book to my Dad last Christmas and he's laughed out loud a number of times. The book is really fun for those who have hunted for awhile. Buck really knows deerhunting and deerhunters.

5.0 out of 5 stars My kind of guy!..., November 6, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Buck Peterson's Complete Guide to Deer Hunting (Roadkill) (Paperback)

Buck is one funny guy. Other guidebooks are soooo serious about deerhunting and miss the humor involved with any kind of hunting.
Buck pokes everyone and everything with a deserved sharp stick.
The illustrations by "Sourdough" are hilarious too. Great gift idea.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not informative, and not very funny, October 4, 2011

The title really says it all. I enjoy hunting mags, books, and humor, but found this one to be less than worth the reading time. I couldn't bring myself to finish it. Perhaps your sense of humor will run differently than mine, and from the other reviews others have enjoyed it, but it wasn't for me.
