4.0 out of 5 stars Dall Sheep Hunting, December 25, 1999

By	Luther Cutts (Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, Canada) - See all my reviews

Having hunted all kinds of sheep throughout Alberta, British Columbia and the NWT, I found Tony Russ's book to be both refreshing and comprehensive. He has done an outstanding job of describing every salient aspect of hunting these magnificient animals. His style of writing is warm and genuine, and his ability of describing the things that apparently happen to every sheep hunter is superb.

If you have ever hunted these amazing sheep, or even thought about it, I would urge you to read this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sheep Hunting in Alaska: The Dall Sheep Hunters Guide, March 9, 2003

By	Clyde A. Bullion (Anchorage, Alaska) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Never having hunted before I moved to Alaska, I sought information from guides and shooters on whom to read for the best information on hunting Alaska. Everyone I spoke to agreed: read Tony Russ first, last, always. From how to dress ("cotton kills"), to what to carry, he covers it in an easily readable style. Having read his books before each hunt helped refine my techniques, and helped me to secure my prey on every one of my hunts. This book should be required reading of every hunter on his or her way to Alaska.
