There are several professional hunters in Africa who, in my opinion, deserve to be considered Living Legends. A few that come to mind are:
  • Buzz Charlton
  • Coenraad Vermaak
  • Danny McCallum (retired)
  • Jeff Rann
  • Joe Coogan (retired)
  • Johan Calitz
  • John Sharp
  • Luke Samaras
  • Michael Angelides
  • Pete Fick
  • Pierre van Tonder
  • Robin Hurt
What notable PHs do you think should be included on this list? My list is non-exhaustive and many worthy hunters are not named.

Identifying today’s top professional hunters is relatively easy, but predicting the next generation of legends is more challenging. Which PHs who are currently operating do you believe will become future legends? This post got a lot of engagement on the Double Rifle Society Facebook group. I'm interested to see what the AH members think.

The Duckworths from the Save should make that list. Many P H’s are worthy but aren’t as well known because they don’t have a tv show or blog.

The Duckworths are definitely list-worthy!

By the way Lou Hallamore had Buzz as his appi when Buzz was but a grass hopper

Morning Rob, Any feeling for how the 300 H&H shoots? How's the barrel condition?

Hello. I see you hunted with Sampie recently. If you don't mind me asking, where did you hunt with him? Zim or SA? And was it with a bow? What did you hunt?

I am possibly going to book with him soon.
Currently doing a load development on a .404 Jeffrey... it's always surprising to load .423 caliber bullets into a .404 caliber rifle. But we love it when we get 400 Gr North Fork SS bullets to 2300 FPS, those should hammer down on buffalo. Next up are the Cutting Edge solids and then Raptors... load 200 rounds of ammo for the customer and on to the next gun!
