New Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Book

[Jay Scott]

Guys if you like Desert Bighorn sheep and specifically Arizona rams then please read, "As most of you know, Tom Saad and I have been laboring on a book on Arizona desert sheep since January. The book will be over 400 pages with more than 365 COLOR photos, including 91 of the top 100 rams ever recorded in AZ. This includes 31 rams that have never been entered in any record book, and 5 of those are in the top 10 in the history of AZ. The book will feature well over 200 rams with many stories as well. We have also included several color unit maps, tables such as the top 100 list, and notations of rams that have won FNAWS medals, B&C awards, Arizona Wildlife Federation annual contests, and rams that were taken on auction or raffle permits.

 

We’re in the final editing phase and hope to be ready to print within 2 weeks or so. I wanted to start with a relatively short list of friends and lucky hunters that have rams featured in the book and explore the possibility of a pre-sale. If we can sell 200 copies relatively quickly, that will fund the cost of printing, which is very high. We expect to have a website up shortly and will post a piece of the book to view, but trust me when I say it is extremely impressive. In the event we can’t fund the printing by pre-selling 200 books, we may have to go with a different printing option to print fewer copies and the price would go up.

 

Please respond with your interest, and pass the word on those sheep nuts you know that will also want a copy. Cost is $125 plus $10 shipping ($25 outside U.S.), which can be waived for local guys that we can get these to in person. The books will be signed and numbered and as incentive, we will issue the numbers in the order that we sell them in. Pre-selling the first 200 is the key to keeping cost down and pushing this baby to the printer by early July. Your support is appreciated – I hope to hear back from you!"

Not sure if this one made it in the book. This was the 170+ ram that Iowa resident Don Oostenink took last year on opening day in Unit 15D. The two largest rams in this unit were taken within minutes apart and we have some awesome video of them knocking heads just before BOTH got taken!

 

This is the ram we took in 2009 in Unit 15D with Paul Taylor from Tucson. We had looked at a ton of rams before Paul put the hammer on this big guy!

Guys apparently the printing is done on the book and it is being bound now. Sept 10th is the date I am being told. Should be the best book ever compiled on desert Bighorn Sheep! I am pumped about it.

Just got my book this weekend!!! I love it. My son and I were going through it this weekend he likes the pictures. He kept trying to get a hold of it for a taste test so it was a little hard to read. LOL The quality of this book is unreal!

This book has exceeded my expectations! Geof and Tom did a fantastic job. I don't know that anyone could ever top this book. I would venture to say that this will be the most important books for desert sheep hunters ever produced.

Top notch, first class, and I agree that there will likely never be another like it.

 

Some of the best advice I received when I drew my tag was to start getting my eyeballs on as many Ram photos I could find. Even better if I could find pictures with scores.

 

I bought all kinds of books, old magazines, new magazines, etc. and spent countless hours on the google. This one book would have blown away everything I was able to scrounge up in panic mode.

 

A true collectors item. My hat's off to Tom and Geof on a terrific book. Thank you for all you put into it, it obviously was a labor of love.

The book turned out awesome!! Tom Saad and Geof Moss did an outstanding job!
