New Arizona Desert Bighorn Sheep Book

[Jeff Welker]

Yesterday I picked up a copy of this wonderful book. If you enjoy sheep hunting at any level, this is a "must have" for your library. This is a hardbound book that is printed to the highest quality. The photography (historic and recent) is as good as any I've seen. IMHO, this book is the equal of any limited edition hunting book you can purchase anywhere.

 

To be clear, this is not an anthology of sheep hunting stories or a "how to" tome on equipment, technique, etc. It is a book that wonderfully documents the history of desert bighorn sheep hunting in Arizona - from its inception in 1953 to 2010. If you enjoy large rams (who doesn't) this book is for you - especially if you dream of what many consider to be the hardest of the North American Grand Slam for which to draw a tag.

 

Obligatory statement: I have no relationship with Mr. Saad (business or otherwise). I have not recieved any remuneration or compensation from Mr. Saad for recommending his book. That being said, I was lucky to pick-up the book from Mr. Saad in person and thoroughly enjoyed talking hunting with him for a short period of time. His humble trophy room is a "Valhalla" of bighorn sheep. Tom is a very nice person and his book is definately a fine reflection of the author and his lifelong dedication to desert bighorns.

Just to resonate what others have already stated.. this book is absolutely awesome. What I love most about the book is some of the introductory words. Mr. Saad was able to encapsulate the essence of sheep hunting better than anything I have ever read. For those of us lucky enough to have been on a sheep hunt before, this book will get the blood pumping again as you turn the pages. Another great feature about the book is that it is current, and it includes all the great rams taken in 2010.

 

My Dad finished it in one sitting (which I am glad for, because I didn't want to wait to read it), and I have cruised through it in only a short amount of time. There was a lot of work that went into making this book and I would like to thank those that helped put it together. I know I will be picking it up over and over again.
