The book is a personal account of the author's hunting expedition in the Altai and Mongolia regions of Central Asia. The book is divided into six chapters, with each chapter detailing the author's experiences in different parts of the region. Demidov describes the landscape, flora, and fauna of the region, as well as the local customs and traditions of the people who live there. The main focus of the book is on the author's hunt for wild sheep, which he pursued for sport and for their valuable wool.

The book is also notable for its illustrations, which were drawn by the author himself. The illustrations depict the animals, landscapes, and people that Demidov encountered during his expedition. Overall, After Wild Sheep In The Altai And Mongolia is a fascinating account of a bygone era of hunting and exploration in Central Asia.
