BOOK: "Sheep Hunts" by Paul Carter

[Maxhunter]

I just ordered the stalking sheep in Alaska by Tony Russ.

I'm getting the sheep hunting bug since I applied for a Alaska sheep tag again. Last time I hunted was in 2010 archery. Hopefully I get drawn come Feburary!

Both are great reads. They are not sheep hunts only, but very well written. Alaska's Wolfman was my favorite.

Thanks, I am going to have to pick a few up you recommended. I want to build a hunting library as you mentioned.

I could go back and get a bunch more from my library. Right now I am more into my notes and stories.

I should note that Jack O'Connor's Hunting on Three Continents are two books directed about sheep hunting.

I am about 1 year from my book about history of guiding in the
Wrangells.
Just got to get pictures. Book 2 is about half done.

Always seem to find out more stuff and want to backtrack.
Howard Knutson is helping me so it should speed up a bit when he gets back from Cabo.

Sincerely,
Thomas

Not sure I knew that you were writing a book. Be sure to let us know when it's available, I will look forward to it!

Lots of great recommendations for good reading, I should take advantage of the winter slow down to do some reading I suppose.
