"This was the first of the Joe Pickett series. Wyoming has far reaches for Joe and the job of forest ranger. He tracks down unlicensed hunters, squatters, and protects visitors from wild animals. In this story, Joe must go to Jackson, Wyoming to protect against animal rights activists: those who want the animals to roam free and not be prey and those who want to raise their own animals and slaughter them as they choose. The ranger before Joe died under suspicious circumstances, setting into motion Joe's hunt for justice. I haven't read any of C J Box before, but he certainly has my interest piqued. I have ordered the first one in the series to see how this all starts."

" Wyoming game warden Joe Pickett gets a temporary transfer to Jackson because the previous game warden committed suicide. Joe has lots of opposition in Jackson as he tries to figure out what pushed Will Jensen over the edge. Pretty decent book, some language. "

" Joe Pickett series #5. Joe is transferred to Jackson after warden, Will Jensen kills himself and he ends up in the messes of a potential housing development, animal rights protesters, a hunting outfitter besides the problems he has at home. "
— Laura, 12/23/2013 -
" Open Season is about the problems a game warden encounters with deadly poachers and the danger his family faces. I feel the outdoor setting is more in line with masculine interests. The smooth writing made for an easy read. This book was the choice of my mystery club. "
— Meb, 12/23/2013 -
" I've read all of C.J. Box's books, with his recurring character, Joe Pickett who is a guy you grow to like. Box pulls you into the book with his vivid description of the great outdoors. I'm a sucker for a good murder mystery. Easy enjoyable reading. "

" Good book, but I felt like the story was just getting going for about the first half. Not necessarily slow, but just a lot of leading up to a rapid conclusion. "
— Jessie, 11/19/2012 -
