Tough question, but several folks come to mind (in alphabetical order):

• Craig Boddington
• Buzz Charlton
• Dave Fulson
• Harry Selby
• Marc Watts

One of these will come to pass: It's my good fortune to be hunting with Buzz in late 2010 - tuskless, croc, kudu, hyena, zebra.

Sorry guys, I'm sure that I would enjoy sharing a camp with most of you, but my pick is my sons. They don't post here, but there is nothing quite like hunting with your kids.

disclamer: I did not mention my daughter because she is a bunny hugger. If she would agree to refrain from hassling me, ( she calls my trophys my victims ) I would love to take her along.

I have hunted Africa with a lot of people. We all have. My favorite on the truck and in camp is my wife.

Timbavati

Agreed! Sadie is my partner in everything and a great companion on safari.

Mark

All that I have hunted with. Very special people.

Phil Shoemaker. Old school.

Without a doubt Saeed, the hunting would be great and the stories around the campfire would be hilarious!

Many here on AR. But, to be honest, I enjoy going on Safari with my wife. Safari for us is more than the hunt to us. We enjoy the history, the cultures, the countries, the people, the foods, the sights and sounds together. Hunting is the added bonus for us.

UEG. That’s great and wonderful.

Obviously, my next hunt will always be with my father.

If I could be as cool as Trump, Saeed, and Cal; then again I want Larry to bring the rock stars.

Basically, I don’t know. I can list people I don’t want around.

Crap, I forgot Jon. I met him for 20 seconds at DSC.

Have I got a plan for you!

My choice would be Mark Sullivan and Saeed. Probably it is too much to add Trump to the above pair. But, just with Mark and Saeed and myself we could have a hell of a time. Then, after the hunt, we could have some social time on the town and fly north to Dubai. Maybe visit a college bar and take in a wet burka contest!

The things we dream about...
Cal

Now your talking...

I can see "YOU TUBE" all over this. Daily live stream from the field. Step by Step as it is being live streamed world wide.

Oh, this could be some positive footage arising from this Safari, provided no one got shot while out and make a field stalk.

Just the lively banter in the field and around the camp fire. The group would set a "You Tube" record as the days went along.

WOW Cal, I think you have a winner... Living the Dream...

I sure we would all be honored to hunt with one of the greatest hunters of our time Phil shoemaker, a true gentleman and a scholar..and beware of Palmer (Alan Johnson), he is the luckest guy I know of, he can reset the boone and crocket scores within a mile or two of camp. He made me famous with trophies I never knew existed! Walter is a blessing to any camp, You can't keep a straigt face when he and Saeed get into it..Its just a great world of great people in this camp..Thanks saeed.

Old post dragged from the past, but I have hunted with Wendell Reich and would hunt with him again. Met Larry Shores in Australia; would love to hunt with him someday - he is a true gentleman.

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?

Saeed! For the campfire tales...

For me - my wife and kids and in-laws.

Second would be Frans Coupe

Third would be Walter

Ross, now you hurt my feelings!

Buzz Charlton
Richard Harland
Kevin Robertson
Rudy Lubin (if he’s here on AR)
I’d have liked to know Don Heath too

If I was to pick a favorite then it would be Frostbit and that safari had the best of ingredients.

Steve416 because we are mates and he has incredible luck on safari.

Darin because she is fine.

Surefire7, Micheal Robinson, etc, and many more and they are all hunters the safaris have been memorable.

Saeed would be a great choice as many others here who simply enjoy hunting.

Dad is 80, and can't walk and is on oxygen.

If I could go back in time 20 years ago and have taken him to Africa when I went the first time I'd love to have that memory.

For some stupid reason he didn't go. Would have been happy to have him along, we could have split the bag and he'd just be in it for the flight.

We'll be lucky to hunt antelope together this year.

Why MacD37 of course.

I have hunted with Larry Shores at his lease in Florida. Would love to hunt with him in Africa or with our sons in Argentina on a bird hunt.

Would also like to, and probably will, hunt with Steve Ahrenberg.

Cal Pappas would be on my list as well, with or without one certain MS!!

Add Hogbreath the list for good measure.

I have not hunted with Harry Selby, but have had interesting conversations with him and it would be an honor to spend 30 days in the Selous with him.

James Cardwell, no need to go on safari, meet me at the American and we can talk roping and let these guys fight the tetsi and mosques..

Larry Shores
Todd Williams
JTEX

Would not be a hunt by any stretch of the imagination.

Proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, one cannot hit a barn door from the inside with his big bore - doubt me? Read his so called "hunt report"!

The other has devoted his life to walking up to animals that have lost 90% of their lives, so he can put them out of their misery with a large bore that is almost as large as his ego, shooting a bullet that weighs 1,000,000 time more than his brains!

Saeed, don’t pull your punches, please tell us what you really think. Ouch.

.................................. MacD37

Well, my main hunting partner has been my wife for (7) of our African safaris and I love her company, and a couple more without her but with my friend my Matt. Fairgame (Andrew) has been my PH for my last (4) safaris in Zambia and I have really enjoyed his company and guiding. He has helped me take some of my most desired trophies.

There are a number of AR members that I think would be great to hunt with, but the only one I've shared a camp with has been Mike Burke, who joined us in Andrew's camp one year, where we all had a wonderful time.

Perhaps one day I'll be fortunate enough to share a camp with other AR members.

There are several PH's on AR that I definitely want to hunt with and will. Andrew comes to mind. There are a lot of folks out there that I'd love to share a camp with, with separate PH's and garis, but I've never hunted with another hunter and not likely to start now.
