The BAREBOW! SHEEP BOOK (The BAREBOW! BOOK Digital Series 4)
Republished here in eBook format, this is Book FOUR in a seven-volume series, presenting all the stories, art work, and other material drawn from the four different sheep-species chapters in the original hardcover, coffee-table book that came out in September of 2008. That book, titled "BAREBOW! An Archer's Fair-Chase Taking of North America's Big-Game 29", won five national awards in 2010, and contains 104 stories of true adventure and misadventure, chronicling the personal odyssey of author Dennis Dunn, as he pursued and eventually accomplished something no one had ever done before: namely, the harvesting — with bow and arrow only (barebow) — of all 29 huntable big-game species on the North American continent. "Barebow" means that the archer uses no yardage sight-pins or other aiming devices attached to the riser of the bow above the arrow rest. In other words, purely instinctive shooting is the only system in play. To many, this constitutes the ultimate challenge in fair-chase hunting.
Volume Four, The BAREBOW! SHEEP BOOK, presents 18 stories recounting the author's efforts to take (with bow and arrow only, and "barebow") a mature, legal ram of each of the four N. A. wild sheep species: Those four chapters are titled, "DALL'S SHEEP", STONE'S SHEEP", ROCKY MOUNTAIN BIGHORN", and "DESERT BIGHORN". In addition, you will find here the same comprehensive, taxonomic and biological information which made the parent book an encyclopedic reference work on ALL North American big game.
The reader is invited to visit the author's website at www.str8arrows.com, where one can view video footage of Dunn arrowing his Pope & Young World's Record Grizzly Bear from eight yards distant. Also, one can watch the footage of his Alaska Brownie taken from just five yards! Many book reviews, testimonials, and even two short-story excerpts, are also posted there — including one from the Dall's Sheep Chapter (drawn from a story titled, "The Changing of the Guard").
If you enjoy being an armchair adventurer, with literature that will never put you to sleep, nor expose you personally to the hazards of setting foot in the wilderness, yourself, then the seven forthcoming volumes in this exciting e-Book series should definitely be on your "bucket" list!
All the books --- just like the original hardcover edition --- are designed to appeal to the hunter and non-hunter alike. For that reason, they contain no "hero photos" of the author with any of his trophies at the kill-site. That omission, however, is more than compensated for by the remarkable and abundant wildlife art of wildlife artists Hayden and Dallen Lambson, a highly-revered father/son team from Pocatello, Idaho. Taken as a whole, The BAREBOW! BOOK is truly a stunning Fine Art book (50%), as well as a Treasury of compelling outdoor adventure stories (50%).
