Notes: The author takes us hunting for many species of wild sheep in Iran, Mongolia, the Pamirs, the USA and elsewhere, with and an excursion to Africa in search of the Lord Derby eland. Not to mention a snow leopard. Argali, urials, bighorns, "most ibex", markhor, chamois and others. "There is no person we know of who has hunted in the Pamirs for Marco Polo more than Soudy. Besides having numerous poli over 60 inches, he has hunted sheep in just about every conceivable place on earth, and he holds a number of world records as well as numerous top-ten heads. Soudy has close to 100 wild sheep hunts to his name, and once you have reached such a phenomenal number you can only write a book about the most interesting hunts and the highlights of your career. Whether it is the North American Grand Slam of Sheep, the huge argali rams of Central Asia, or the urials of his native Iran, Soudy has hunted them all as well as most ibex and chamois. This is a phenomenal story of a single-minded obsession that has taken the author more than four decades to fulfill."
