Okay Ladies and Gents, how about we have an AR Awards thread to compete with that movie thing this weekend.

Although I spend too much time on AR, I certainly don't see everything although I would like to.

So maybe we could nominate a few recent entries in each category and then vote on the 'best' of this or that to sort of summarize things in one thread. So for the animals it would be the best taken by an AR member (so the buffalo in the Ngorongoro don't count). Rifles would be the best owned by an AR member, not something at Holland & Holland.

Suggested categories might include:

Best Wildlife Photo (I'd vote for one of A. Dahlgren's)
Best People Photo (same answer?)
Best Story (my vote would be JudgeG's lion story)
Best Hunt Report
Best Elephant
Best Buffalo
Best Lion
Best Leopard
Best Croc (Dave Fulson's with the bushpig in its mouth?)
Best Hippo
Best Bongo
Best Lord Derby (has to be Marc Watts' I think?)
Best Mountain Nyala (Marc Watts' again?)
Best Livingston Eland
Best Kudu
Best Sable
Best Warthog
Best Waterbuck
Best Tigerfish
Best Sunset
Best Shot(s) (Ivan Carter's shots on the charging lion in Boddington on Lion? Especially with the "that's why you carry a double" line.)
Best Double Rifle
Best Bolt Rifle
Best Single Shot Rifle
Best New DVD (Boddington on Lion?)
Best New Book (Bill Stewart's Elephant book?)
Best Trophy Room (Will Parks'?)
Best Great Deal on a Rifle
Best DG Cartridge (just kidding, we all know the answer to that!)
Best Snappy Answer
Best Controversy

What about:

Best Client Hunter in a Leading Role?
Best Professinal Hunter in a Supporting Role?

Or is it vice versa?

Or how about:

Best African Hunting Costume Design?
Best Foreign Language Game Scout?

Best Makeup?

most fun to spend time in camp with. PH and Hunter.
