Title: alternative hunting tale
Product review: This novel was first published in the late 1960s and was later made into a not very good film, starring Peter Fonda. The essence of the story concerns three respectable members of the community who are ex-Vietnam veterns. Each year they leave their normal lives to go into the northern woods on a hunt like thousands of their fellow Americans. They have built a cabin in a remote area which is equipped with all the comforts of home. Where they differ from everyone else is that they like to kidnap people and then release them near the cabin and hunt them down like any other game. Unfortunately for them, this season they are being hunted by a realtive of someone they harmed when much younger and this person is just as skilled and ruthless as they are. The book can be taken as an indictment of war and how it dehumanises people and allows psychopaths to thrive, or, it can simply be enjoyed as a tale of some bad guys getting their comeuppance.
