A former 3M executive Erwin Brown wrote a new book called \u201cHunting the world\u201d which will be published in October. The book will be hard-cover 300+ pages covering adventures on five continents over the last 70 years and 130 pictures. The story of connecting with Mr. Brown is a story on its own. The day Mr. Brown came to speak at my business networking group was the day I spoke at a local Rotary club about China. Therefore I did not meet him. However I was very interested to find out what he talked about and I e-mailed him to introduce myself. We made connections right away on common interest of travel and particularly my interest in Asia. Mr. Brown is kind enough to send me an entire chapter of the book on \u201cTranscapspian Urial Sheep in Turkmenistan\u201d. Here is a snippet of the beginning of the chapter:
\nI am often asked which one of my adventures has been the
\nmost interesting and exciting. It is difficult to answer, as every
\njourney has suspenseful moments and interesting twists. Life-
\nthreatening experiences aren\u2019t much fun when they\u2019re happening, but
\nmake fascinating stories in retrospect. Sheep hunting is plain hard
\nwork, and there isn\u2019t much smiling and laughing during the process;
\nbut the satisfaction of accomplishment when the sheep is down is hard
\nto beat.
\nI had collected the five different species of North
\nAmerican wild sheep, the European Mouflon, the Barbary Sheep of
\nSpain, and the Gobi Argali in Mongolia, but had yet to experience a
\nhunt for one of the Urial sheep specie of Southern Asia. Of all the
\nspecies of Urials, the Transcaspian Urial is the most handsome. The
\nmain range of the Transcaspian Urial is southern Turkmenistan and
\nnorthern Iran. A hunt in Iran is out of the question, so I arranged a
\ntrip to Turkmenistan for February 1990. Bob Kern of The Hunting
\nConsortium made all the arrangements.

\nWhile I am waiting eagerly to see the chapter of \u201cGobi Argali Sheep in Mongolia\u201d, I can\u2019t wait to share the good news of the book with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
