This collection of 26 short stories is considered by many to be the best of its kind. Readers come away with a vivid and colorful picture of what the lives and adventures of California's game wardens are really like. All of these true stories take place in California, which has more natural diversity in wildlife habitat and species than any other state and is second only to Alaska in its vast areas of wilderness.

Tough Customers: Review,
By Oliver Roofer (Northern California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tough Customers : True Adventures of Game Wardens and the Outlaws They Pursue (Hardcover)
This is a very enlightening book that shows the true life stories of some of the toughest and most clever law enforcement personnel. Game Wardens are an underestimated and under respected group. This book brings forward the true nature of back woods criminals and shows the dangers that Game Wardens put themselves into on a normal basis. For anyone who loves the outdoors, and the nature of it which involves both plants and animals of the wilderness, we can rest easy knowing that even though there are groups of people dedicated to its destruction, there is a group more dedicated to its protection.

Review-Tough Customers,
By Harry Larson (Concord, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tough Customers : True Adventures of Game Wardens and the Outlaws They Pursue (Hardcover)
Tough Customers is his best book yet. Because the stories are true and exciting I would recommend them to any adult. Hodges books are difficult to put down. The stories are very well written. He is one of the few authors that I follow to see when he is going to publish next. I understand that his next book-Predators-is going to be out soon. I will be the first in line to buy it.
5.0 out of 5 stars

My husband works for the government and is a real outdoorsman, and he absolutely loves this book. He hasn't put it down since he got it.
