pichon1WHO ON AR, WOULD YOU LIKE TO HUNT AFRICA WITH?
Here's another hypothetical. Now that a lot of folks have told us who they would like to have as a PH from the past or present, given the choice, who on AR, would you like to hunt Afica with?

Mac,
I second that comment...and hope to make it happen some day soon. I can't think of a better group of guys to share a camp fire with.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!! 'What the hell could possibly go wrong?'

Frank BellerOK, I'll go first - Retreever & Die Ou Jagter - in Tanzania. Now, you guys, since Joyce is retired & I'm darn near broke, which of the two of you will buck up & pay for my safari with you, now that I've sucked up to both of you ? I'm waiting ..........

SnellstromI'd like to hunt Africa or anywhere for that matter with a friend I made on AR, "Taylorce"
and an old friend of mine from my childhood that I reconnected with by chance on AR, "logjam".
Have seen some interesting characters on here some I'd like to meet but I have to get to know someone to walk afield with them with guns in hand, I don't trust just anyone with a loaded weapon unless they show me they handle a gun safely regardless of age, experience or personality. My very first choice of anyone to go to hunt in Africa with is my brother, my two friends are a very close second.

To paraphrase Will Rodgers, I can't think of an AR member that I've met that I didn't like.

SGraves155Whichever ones are after the "tiny five" or whatever its called, so I can hunt the big stuff without simultaneous "competition".
Now it the question was "who would you like to have a drink and a couple of hours of BS with" several come to mind.

PalmerSaeed, Walter, Ray and Butch Searcy would be a fun time.
Other than that - any DRSS member.

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.

katiesgunsIve been in camp overnight with Palmer and would gladly share 10 days with him. Don't know anyone else personally but with try to put with anyone that paid my way.
29 August 2008, 06:46
FrostbitAnyone that would pay my way!!
Beyond all, my son. He is eight, have a few more years yet before it will happen.
Then I'll second 465H&H's thoughts. I would like to hunt with him and see him shelac an ele with 550gr Woodleighs.
Also 500 Grains, 450NE No2, Will and other members here who love to elephant hunt.

prof242As has been said, almost anyone on the forum would be a good companion. However, my hunting partner of over 25 years, Brett, and I will be going to Namibia next June. We'll be hunting 2-1 because, like Walter and Saeed, its more fun laughing at each other. No competition between us either.

WinkI had the pleasure to meet several AR members in Dallas 2007, some members who have come through Paris on their travels and some of the Euro AR members. They are all great people and I would gladly hunt with any of them.

Wendell ReichWalter, hands down, my choice is Walter.
29 August 2008, 19:20
WyoJoeHands down it would be Judge G & Ray Atkinson. Our host Saeed would awesome to hunt with too. That is my top picks.

Die Ou JagterFrank, thanks for the kind words, I will defer to Mike as he is a retired educator here in Pa and I know about their retiremant plans and he can afford to stake both of us. I am the oldest of the 3 and am still working, can't afford to retire. You need to take pity on me.
29 August 2008, 19:30
hikerbumI dont personally know any of these people, but have posted along side them, or exchanged a few pm's.
Saeed and his group
JudgeG
Jorge
Wendell
probably many others, but the above's postings seem to stand out in my mind.

JudgeGI'd love to hunt with Saeed, of course and I actually know Walter and he's a pretty special guy particularly if you like European Football (Germany and Spain?) ... 1115 is my brother-from-another-mother... Ol' Fart Ray.... Tony Black.... Palmer, I've been in camp with Shakari and he's tops... and others too many to mention... but this past June I had the opportunity to hunt with my sweethearts!
JudgeG ... just counting time 'til I am again finding balm in Gilead chilled out somewhere in the Selous.

Aaron RustThere are a lot of guys that i would love to hunt with. There also are guys that encouraged us a lot when my wife was sick in Africa. MacD73, Rusty, Ray Atkinson were alway the three people than wrote a note the quickest. They also coached me on a double rifle purchace I bought from Dirk De Bod in Namibia while living there. (someone threatened me with money and i sold it, I feel so ashamed!
) There are a load of other guys that have been great friends. I haven't posted a lot in the last year due to change in jobs. But now i have more time...
29 August 2008, 23:04
quickshotIt would be a honor to hunt with the fine posters on AR!
I have exchanged few emails with a few, but other than that, I haven't meet any AR members as of yet. Hope to change that in the future!
hopr to make it to the AR
party in Dallas!

SGraves155I would at least like to share a campfire and a drink with JudgeG, Bwanamrm, and shakari. I had to cancel a hunt with shakari, but am looking to rebook next year, if he has an opening.

AMEN TO THIS IDEA. my hunt in Moz next month was an SCI donated hunt for a hunter and an observer. i couldn't find any friends around here who wanted to go, so i am going by myself. my leopard hunt in Bots. 3 years ago was the same deal with the same result.

RopesBased on the fact that I don't know actually know anyone in real life this is all a guess.
Anyone who wants to hunt not shoot, spend more time hunting than drinking, it would help if they could talk but its not really required.
They would have to know how to handle a firearm safely, get along with my wife with out hitting on her, bonus points if you can teach me something.
They also have to add more value to my life than they take away.
I would guess there are quite a few who would meet the requirements.
