Obsessed: Hunting Mountain Game in North America, Central Asia, Iran, and Elsewhere

by Hossein Golabchi

There is no person we know of who has hunted in the Pamirs for Marco Polo more than Soudy. Besides having numerous poli over 60 inches, he has hunted sheep in just about every conceivable place on earth, and he holds a number of world records as well as numerous top-ten heads. Soudy has close to 100 wild sheep hunts to his name, and once you have reached such a phenomenal number you can only write a book about the most interesting hunts and the highlights of your career, which is exactly what he has done. Whether it is the North American Grand Slam of Sheep, the huge argali rams of Central Asia, or the urials of his native Iran, Soudy has hunted them all . . . plus some, including most ibex, markhor, and chamois. This is a phenomenal story of a single-minded obsession that has taken the author more than four decades to fulfill.

This a great book by a man that had seen and done it all in regards to mountain hunting. The author shares his experiences and talks about the challenges and sacrifices he's made along with the dedication and determination to succeed. He's traveled the globe and found great success in his hunting adventures. For those of us that will never be able to experience some of these adventures nor have the financial resources or freedom from work that Golabchi enjoys, this is a very good book full of hunting tales.
