Hope this is fun I used some pretty poor pictures to make things tougher and covered many decades. Not looking for all the names in all photos but there are a number of photos with two and at least one photo with up to three recognizable figures. Some will be a piece of cake and some are damn tough but I'd say naming 20 or more would be A+!

A Hunter's Who's Who

This is fun, like Romper Room . . . I see . . .

Bob Petersen
John Wayne
Jan Oelofse
Craig Boddington
Jimmy Sutherland
Fred Bear
Warren Page
Herman Goering (!)
Harry Selby
Bob Ruark
Elmer Keith
Jack O'Connor
Ross Seyfried
Jack Lott

and maybe:

James Patterson
Jim Corbett
Jim Carmichel

and of course:

cats

It is a good thing us hunters love pictures of ourselves.

Yes, I recognize about half of them. Tomorrow I'll try to post one that might have you guessing.

Also:
Warren Page
Harry Manners
Cottar brothers
Tony Sanchez

And a couple others I've forgotten already!

I see John Boyes and Constantine Ionides

Oh, mrlexma! Only 15? Hell, my money was on you to be the frontrunner! Sure you looked at all of them?

Still damn good though!

Yes Will but just Mike Cottar & Client.

Kino - Excellent! I thought Saeed might get Ionides first.

Just read PHC's African adventurers last year

Nick,

I'd have done better, but: (i) I didn't study; (ii) I got the flu and missed that day; (iii) I lost my textbook; (iv) my dog ate my homework; and . . . (v) there were too many damned bowhunters!

Saxton Pope and Arthur Young!

Kino - No it is not.

I'm filling in the names over the photos, as we go.

To quote the inspirational Joliet Jake Blues:


Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD.

NO????? R u sure???

Thanks Nick and Canuck. 22 is Wooters.

And I just noticed that you didn't give me credit for cats, er . . . I mean wynwood, er . . . I mean Bob Swinehart.

Nick, there was no "wry grin" emoticon to attach...my comment was directed to the guys that got all the hard ones and missed that slam dunk.

But that was all I had.

Canuck

Canuck, you are not getting credit for Wooters.

No "wry grin" you say. HA!

Nice try!

I "missed" the Swineheart - O.K.!

John Wooters! Canuck there are still bigger slam dunks in there!

Charles . . . okay, okay, so Jake had better excuses. But let's don't forget that he had help. He was on a mission from God!

Nick, muchas gracias.

"Swineheart," as opposed to Swinehart, was a nice turn of phrase, BTW.

It's guess but Selous for #30

Roger Whittall!

Kino - No it is not but just skip that one (ridiculously tough). There are remaining, some VERY famous African hunters to be identified.

melexma - YES!!!! I hereby declare you the winner of this months contest but I shall leave the photos up for the day crew to ID.

I can't skip it, I'm sure I've seen that photo before.
I'll be up all night

I, too, will leave it to the day crew. Thanks, Nick, for a lot of fun tonight.

I do wonder, though, if I didn't see Phil Percival in there somewhere . . .

KINO - you may have seen the photo in a hunting magazine but he is not generally known as a hunter, rather something else.

If you did, he was probably seated in a tent somewhere. Detested walking, that fellow.

I recognized John Kingsley Heath with Jack O'connor and Ionides with his custom hat..

I remember when Heath was mauled by a lion and I have never forgot his face or beret..I was a young boy when I read the story in a hunting magazine...

That may have been Jim Corbett with the tiger...Read his book Maneaters of the Kama

Pope & Young

Mike

I don't see a guess yet for #023. If I'm not mistaken, that one is Howard Hill.

Kingsley-Heath and Howard Hill are corect!

Is 23 Howard Hill?

Is Jim Carmichael with a young George Hoffman?

Steve

Shoot,

Somebody got HH while I was looking at the pictures. If I turned it in a day late, do I still get half credit?
