From the small urial sheep of the Middle East to the mighty 60-plus-inch argoli to the majestic Rocky Mountain ram, it is fair to soy that no other class of animal evokes such great passions in hunters as do the wild sheep of the world. The authors of this book definitively classify every type of sheep, which is the first time in more than forty years anyone has attempted to do so.

Detailed distribution maps and color photos help make this the best overview and information to date on the wild sheep that are so sought after worldwide. For purposes of completeness, blue sheep, Barbary sheep, and tur have been included, even though they ore not true sheep. Both Drs. Mike Frisina and Richard Mitchell have spent countless days in the field studying and observing sheep in areas os diverse as Pakistan, Central Asia, Mongolia, Alaska, and the Western United States. The authors reclassify many sheep, which is sure to be controversial to some and. In so doing, offer a new and fresh approach to a subject matter that fascinates endlessly. As Dr. Thomas Bunch wrote upon reviewing the manuscript: "This one-of-a-kind book on wild sheep, informative to anyone interested in wild sheep, will be considered a classic."
