Book Description:
Blanco County, Texas.

It's one week before the start of deer hunting season, and everyone in town has come down
with a case of...Buck Fever.

The fury begins with Red O'Brien and Billy Don Craddock, two drunken poachers who fire a shot in the direction of Blanco County's most important resident: a wide-eyed, white-tailed deer named Buck who lives on the Circle S ranch. Now Buck is on the loose, and no one knows where to find him: not Trey Sweeney, the man who took the bullet meant for Buck, albeit right in the flank of his own deer costume; not Tim Gray, the veterinarian who can't function very long without popping a few canine tranquilizers; and especially not Roy Swank, owner of the Circle S, who wants desperately to find Buck for reasons no one can quite understand. Navigating all this turmoil is Blanco County Game Warden John Marlin, with a little help from his best friend Phil and a beautiful nurse named Becky who seems too good to be true. But when a dead body turns up, the real mystery in madcap Blanco County soon boils down to a single question: Just who is hunting whom?

This was pretty broad comedy with redneck good ole boys who aren't very bright (along the lines of "My Name Is Earl" on TV), but I liked it. A lot of similar stuff, like Hiassen, is just over the top for me, but this one wasn't. It's not Great Literature, but it's good for a chuckle.
