From the back cover:  "Ace Sommerfeld has an uncanny knack for slipping truly useful information into his campfire yarns.  In his new book about Alaskan mountain goats, the read is comfortable and you'll smile the next day to discover how much you learned from his experience and easygoing style.  The abundance of photos genuineuly enhances the text, and makes for delightful reading.  Whether  you are a hunter or photographer, "The Mountain Goat Challenge" is a worthy addition to the library or everyone who appreciates these mysterious white masters of the high country."  Carl Wambach - Montana goat hunting guide and author  

"Ace Sommerfelds "The Mountain Goat Challenge" is at once exhilarating and intimidating reading.  His decades of experience pursuing skittish billies on Alaska's craggy coastline lace this entertaining memoir with cautions and morals that the first time goat hunter would be a fool to disregard.  Sommerfeld's Alaska guarantees nothing but toil, but after devouring these chronicles of an accomplishment so rare, so grand and so wild, any hunter with a thumbnail or wanderlust will be headed to the Last Frontier."  Darren Thornberry - Managing Editor, Buckmasters  

"Danger, excitement, obstacles, success, and personal satisfaction are all found in this compilation of Alaska goat hunts.  Readers will find non-stop action in these pages -- along with the camaraderie of the hunt.  An enjoyable read about an underestimated game animal." - Tony Russ, Alaska Author
