Never before has the scope and concepts of trophy hunting been so vividly defined, nor has a more complete account of big game hunting in Asia ever been written.

Saeed, my friend,

This silhouette of Elgin makes it look like either he has been aroused by an argali in the distance, or he is wearing a tutu.

Asia! Where men are men and the sheep run scared.

Thanks for the neato forum you have added. Now I am lusting after more books!

A great book. I have this book and now I want to have the "Trophy Hunter in Africa".

This book shows some of the finest trophies in Asia.

The episode about Marco Polo Sheep is wonderful. This hunt of Gates is also mentioned by George Scheller in "Stones of Silence" as told to him by Mir of Hunza (where Gates hunted Ovis Poli)
