Inside the book
This is a collection of all 42 “Back
Shelf” columns that appeared on the last page of Hunting & Fishing Collectibles Magazine from 2006 through 2012
and the inspiration and stories behind each one. Written by Ronald Koch,
Senior Field Editor, Emeritus, the columns and the backstories reflect a life
lived with duck hunting at its heart. See
how Ron’s offbeat, self-deprecating sense of humor has entertained readers of
the magazine for years and follow him as he runs afoul of ducks, women, dogs
and anything mechanical. The author also gives readers a glimpse of his
more serious side as he weaves his respect for his father and other men who
have had a profound influence on his life into his tales.
