I'm currently a bit obsessed with the central asian/middle eastern countries and the incredible animals you can hunt there (marco polo, ibex, markhor etc.) Seems like there are a plethora of books on Africa and other hunting destinations, but what about books on hunting this part of the world? I'm interested in how-to books as well as stories. Anyone have any titles?

I share your obsession, but my bank account doesn't..  I have done one ibex hunt and ready for the next one this fall. I think Safari Press is a good place to start. You can look spefically for sheep/mountain. The book "Memories of a sheep hunter" by Rashid Jamsheed is quite good, with a lot of stories (but not so much how to).

McElroy hunts Asia-McElroy Hunting in Mongolia by Batsukh Galsan As posted above, Memories of Sheephunter by Jamsheed This book is I believe one of the best but it is not only Asian hunting but a variety of hunts from around the world such as Elgin Gates "My hunt for the rams of Shangri-La", and the Shah of Iran hunting red sheep. The book is titled Great True Hunts by Peter Barrett. Kathi kathi@wildtravel.net 708-425-3552 "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page." | |||

I can recomend Golabchi`s Obsessed as a book with a lot of interesting stories from sheephunting all around Asia (and the World). Many stories about hunting Marco Polo in the Pamir mountains. Hope too go there myself sometime.. | |||

I'm in college, great suggestions, but I can't even afford the freaking books!  ----------------------------------------- "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden | |||

"Trophy Hunter in Asia" by Elgin Gates is a very good read. | |||

You have to look harder and pay more money for books on Asian hunting ,there is a book ''Asian Hunter ''by Capt John H.Brandt which covers most Asian countries ,although there isnt really enough photos in this book, as there should be .Its a fairly big book ,and there is one on ebay now, if you want to grab it, as i think there was only a thousand or so copies printed | |||

Too rich for my blood, thats a lot of beer money... ----------------------------------------- "I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. -Henry David Thoreau, Walden | |||
