About Open Season: True Stories Of The Maine Warden Service
Review "Worcester has written a wonderfully authentic book that is anything but a recycle of warden stories that we have already seen on TV or read before. Open Season contains 20 real-life stories as told to Worcester by 12 different wardens, most of them retired. A couple of the hair raising, life-and-death scenarios recounted by Worcester were familiar to me having worked with a number of these wardens selected by Worcester for his book. Nonetheless, the book and the detailed recountings of these events kept me reading well past my bedtime." - V. Paul Reynolds, Editor of Northwoods Sporting Journal Product Description Before reality TV, GPS devices, and dashboard computers, there was a coming of age for the Maine Warden Service. It was a time when a compass, map, and one's wits were what mattered most in the field. Every day offered the potential for an exciting new adventure, many of which endangered the wardens' lives.Recreating the full warden experience, Open Season includes 20 stories from two former colonels, two lieutenants, two sergeants, four district wardens, a warden pilot, and one currently active-duty corporal. Altogether, their cumulative experiences account for more than 300 years of north woods law.In addition to hair-raising, life-and-death scenarios, the collection covers moments such as a child innocently outing his parents as “looking for deer” at night, the doldrums of a stakeout, and the grief of tragedy. You'll live through the eyes of these twelve wardens and feel the excitement of a twig snapped in the dark...the frustration of second guessing yourself when lives are at stake...and the duty to do what's right, even when it means breaking the law.
