(From the back cover)  I found this book an engaging account of one man's arduous, long-term, and respectful relationship with Dall sheep as observer and hunter.  It is not a biology or management book or a scientific or historical treatise.  Rather, it is a collection of stories about human interactions with Dall rams wherein Ace Sommerfeld reveals himself as a well-rounded Dall sheep aficionado in the very best sense of the word.  -W. Heimer, Dall Sheep Biologist, Fairbanks, Alaska

Ace Sommerfeld has managed to both intrigue and scare the livin' daylights out of me.  Any outdoorsman with an adventurous spirit and love of horn is drawn headlong into his Alaska.  A burning love of high-country and all things sheep bleeds from his prose, yet Ace doesn't mince words: the land of Dalls is not from the physically unfit.  Thought I might dream of sharing a tent with him someday, I don't fancy hikes that'll reduce muscle or jelly, or worse, bones to shards.  Fortunately, I can hunt rams vicariously through this master storyteller's exploits.
