I've hunted with Saeed and I'm sure he has killed more Buffalo than Selous, he left me deaf after one trip, and I also hunted with Walter, what more could one ask of life

I've always thought a lot of Harry Selby and I know him and Mark very well, but never hunted with Harry, that would have been nice...

I really would have liked to hunted with John Taylor but he was gay, so I suspect it would have come to blows, no make that fistacuffs, sooner or later, he liked to fight btw and was apparantly a very good fighter as well as a hunter...

Hell, I don't know, I'd rather hunt with Will than any of them and sure I would love to have the .470 brass, be glad to pay for it, my friend.

If you could turn back the hands of time and hunt with any singular African hunter who would you choose ? I should think Barclay Cole or Lord Delamere would have been as intersting as the game and colonial Africa.




Definitely Harry Selby. It would be interesting to hunt with Jack Lott also.

Well I suppose he's not known for hunting in Africa, although he has done some. Jim Corbett would be my pick.
For purely Africa, Bell. I'd like to see him hunt elephant with a 7mm.....and I'll be standing waaaaay over there.

Harry Selby for me.

-Bob F.


For a nice bio of Mr. Selby by Joe Coogan see:

Also, be sure to visit Gail Selby Wentink's web site at:< !--color-->

Gail with her father Harry Selby
"Over the years I have experienced many wonderful moments in the Botswana bush with my father, Harry Selby. Each trip held its share of fear, humour, excitement, disappointment, success and hard work. I enjoy hunting (I shot my first elephant when I was 14 years old) and have had the privilege of being a spectator on many great hunts.
from: "The End of Season Elephant" by Gail Selby.

F.C. Selous, Fletcher Jamieson, John Taylor (he apparently was not a poof), Brian Marsh and not neccesarily in that order!

"Pondoro," TR, or Hemmingway. Hunting with any of these chaps would have been quite interesting, for various reasons.

Lord Delamere, F C Selous

But my all time favorite would be Dennys Finch-Hatton He was the man back then.



Cheers,



Andr�






I have very a limited knowledge of the classical hunters, but Finch-Hatton was a name that came to my mind as well. I guess we Scandinavians have a special relationship to him thanks to Karen Blixen.

Martin

I don�t really care, as long as it would be a six month safari..
But seriously, I believe I would chose Bror Blixen, just because he was a little off the rocker, so to speak. Might have been interesting.
