About the Author
Ed Zern was an American humorist, columnist, and conservationist best known for his satirical takes on hunting and fishing in Field & Stream. His witty commentary offered a fresh spin on outdoor sportswriting in the mid-20th century.
Great gift for fishing buddies, lodge libraries, or collectors who enjoy smart, satirical takes on outdoor life. Only one available.
