When I hunted in Cameroon last year there was a couple of guys from Africa in camp, they were saying Andy and Michelle had a parting of ways. I then noticed the last season or two of TIA, Michelle was not in any of the videos. Like you, I always thought they'd be a fun bunch to be around.

Dang.. I’m sorry to hear that. Looked like a blast

My wife has been enjoying the Nick's Wild Ride show and thinks he hunts ands travels like we do.
As for me, hell I don't know. I've never really liked anyone around me much when I'm hunting. Having my wife in camp at the end of the day has been very nice.

I’m too Midwestern, but I would choose one of the Realtree guys probably Michael Waddell, he seems like a good time in deer camp.

 

[Brod]

Blake Shelton or Kid Rock
Either would be a lot of laughs in any camp.

My cousin actually went on a hunt in Michigan with Ted Nugent.

He had a good time and said that Ted was a good host.

I don’t remember if he had a hunting show per se, but I remember Babe Winkelman on Saturday TV doing fishing shows. That would be a guy I could hunt with.

Marlin Perkins, “and here comes one now”! What ever happened to Jim?

Jim Fowler is busy in the pit wrestling with the crocodiles, so let's take a short break to talk insurance with our friends from Mutual of Omaha!

I have guided several. All were good folks. I would rate Will Primos near the top. When we were hunting moose, he was reciting scenes from our favorite movie, Jeremiah Johnson, all the time. Will was friendly and funny. He came up with funny nicknames for all of us. Unfortunately, the footage for the show was stolen out of his rental truck at a gas station near the Denver Airport when his cameraman left the doors unlocked when they both went inside the station! Someone grabbed their carryon bags and took off!

I've guided both Jim Shockey and Colorado Buck..... two very different people!

I’d love to hunt a hippopotamus bull on land with Mark Sullivan or an elephant bull with Jeff Rann.

Does Marlin Perkins count?

If not, then Keith Warren. Always seemed like a solid guy.

Keith Warren had me on a couple of his shows back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. Only spent time with him then but he seemed like a good guy.

Don’t care about hunting a hippo, but yes, an elephant with Jeff Rann is on my list.

I’d pass on hunting with tv personalities, I work in the hunting and shooting sports industry in the US and I don’t even know who half those people mentioned are.LOL

+1 on Marlin Perkins, but Jim Fowler would have to be along for the hunt. From the same era - Grits Gresham would be high on my list.

I did a few episodes hunting exotics in Texas with Keith Warren back in the 90's. He was always a gentleman and enjoyable to hunt with. One memorable episode was with Bela Karolyi, the world renowned gymnastics coach hunting Scimitar Horned Oryx. Here is a photo I found on the web from the episode. Thats a much younger me in the background as Bela was about to shoot. Dave Fulson was the videographer, another fine gentleman hunter. It was an all-around great experience.

I don’t know if he counts or not but I’m thinking Fred Bear, I started as a bow hunter and (still do) and expanded in rifle, pistol and shotgun hunting, Grits Gresham would be another one, I met Babe Winkelman once and wouldn’t want to even share a boat with him. I would much rather hunt with people who can still find humor when things go to crap.

Andy and Michelle are brother and sister. Michelle married Chad the hunter that was on most of their shows and is now here in the states.

If memory serves.....

My thoughts exactly. I have been in hunting camps with some of the tv personalities and found almost without exception they were a little full of themselves.

Tom Orr from mountain men , I don’t even need to hunt anything with him I could just spend an evening around a campfire listening to his stories and be happy.

I randomly sat down next to a couple bearded fellas at an airport bar when I was coming back from an Alaska hunting trip and we got to talking. One was Tom, the other was one of the Willow Bend trading post guys. I had never seen the show. Talked about brain tanning and what it was like filming. Nice guys.
