Cover Shot Vermont Wild Vol 2

Volume 2 of Vermont Wild Hot Off the Press!

October 17, 2011  –  Hot off the press, Vermont Wild, Volume 2, containing more hilarious  stories from retired Vermont game wardens is being distributed to stores now.

Volume One, containing more than a dozen stories from veteran warden Eric Nuse of Johnson, was  one of Vermont’s runaway best selling books over the 2010 holiday season at many stores.

Volume 2 has a few more of Eric’s stories and introduces readers to other retired wardens and their equally wacky  adventures.  Volume 2 story titles include: 4WD, Stowe Turkey, Tick Trail, Dog Fish, Fly Trap, Track Star, Search Warrant, the Skinny Goose and many more. 

Published in paperback, Volume 2 contains 300 pages and as just as in Volume One, each story is illustrated.  Both volumes feature a full color laminated water resistent cover and is designed to slide into a backpack and taken into the woods for a great day of reading – or enjoyed over a cup of hot chocolate before a wood fire on a snowy winter day.

These stories have proven to be a hit with ages 9 to 99, both women and men.  The book makes a great holiday gift.

The book is on sale at independent bookstores throughout Vermont as well as Dakin Farms, Shelburne Farms, the Vermont Historical Society and a long list of shops throughout Vermont.   Support your local stores!
