A "must have" book for all sheep enthusiast!!,
By circlet@gateway.net (Spruce Pine, Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Arc of the Wild Sheep (Paperback)
Although published in 1964,this is perhaps the most complete work on wild sheep avaliable to the layman.Written in an easy read style, this work is full of stories of old hunts and the trials of old hunters.I find myself coming back to it time after time......

Good read, but not what I expected,
By
This review is from: The Great Arc of the Wild Sheep (Paperback)
This book was interesting for a number of reasons, but it is not a "hunting book". If you want sheep hunting stories and tactics look elsewhere. The book discusses the various sheep species of the world in a easy to read but scientific manner. Also included is some interesting historical details of the mountainour regions these sheep inhabit. If you are thinking about sheep hunting internationally this would be a great (but a little outdated) read.

Great Background for Horned Domestic Sheep,
By J. Custer (Lake City, MN USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Great Arc of the Wild Sheep (Hardcover)
As an owner of many domestic horned sheep, which are descended from the wild sheep described in the book, I found this book fascinating especially the attention paid to horn type, growth and comparisons between subspecies. It serves as a great foundation as I continually learn to understand and improve my flock.
