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.

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.

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.

Back in the glory days before those living in them knew they were glorious, Buck "Buck" Peterson unleashed this heaving monster on blood sport readers. GUIDE TO DEER HUNTING is back in action, tarted up for this next decade with nifty type and a swell new cover. The insides are much what you'd expect from Mr. Peterson, an unabashed pleasure at satirizing people with guns. Chapters on deer, deer hunting, and deer hunters delve deep into the viscera of stalking Bambi's parents. What I want to know is, what happened to nasty comments about the thickness of Polish women's ankles? Is Buck maturing with age?

There are a few jewels in this book, but not many, and you have to wade through way too much nonsense to get to them. I guess if you're out on a long long camping trip with the buddies & you over induldge in adult beverages you might enjoy it, but don't buy this one in hopes of learning anything.
