To get a new post going –
1) What African animal would you like to hunt if money, time, or place was not a factor?
2) What African animals do you plan on hunting in the future?

Gemsbok, nyala, sable, gazelle, lechwe, redbuck? I have heard from friends in New Mexico that the gemsbok, or oryx is the best eating meat on the planet. I would like to have a mounted nyala head. Other than that, stories say that when one is on safari, they choose from the animals that present themselves in the particular area where they are. Its not like you have this shopping list of animals and check them off and you drive to them and get them.

I know zilch about what are considered trophies and zilch about which ones are most prized or expensive to hunt.
But I would say Cape Buffalo, Sable, then either an Eland or a Kudu.
I'll probly never have the means to hunt anywhere outside of the midwest.

1. Lion and Bongo lead the list, but it includes every other species that walks the continent.
2. Every huntable species that walks the continent. (I dream big!)

The Kudu is an awesome animal.
Headed over there in Aug. and looking for a Kudu. Going to a wedding in SA and the kudu would be the wedding day dinner. Can't wait.
What an opportunity!
Can't wait! I said that already. But i can't wait!

The kudu feed and move about only in the early morning hours, the late afternoon or deep into the night, making them even harder to spot. During the heat of the day they rest in bushy thickets.
thirteen or fourteen white vertical strips. A conspicuous white patch can be seen on his throat. There is also a white bar on his lower neck. The white chevron between his velvety eyes and the white area around his mouth give character to his dark face. Running down his neck, shoulders and back is a short, white mane. His head is crowned with two triple twisted horns that gracefully spiral upward and outward.

The body of the male kudu is a rich gray color,banded with thirteen or fourteen white vertical strips. A conspicuous white patch can be seen on his throat. There is also a white bar on his lower neck. The white chevron between his velvety eyes and the white area around his mouth give character to his dark face. Running down his neck, shoulders and back is a short, white mane. His head is crowned with two triple twisted horns that gracefully spiral upward and outward.

I have never been to Africa, but have dreamed of going on safari since I was a wee child. I am thinking that once my son out of college(in 7 yrs hopefully), I can take him on a trip. To answer your questions...
1)Cape Buffalo
2)Kudu, Sable, Eland, Gemsbok, Bongo, Nyala
I can't say that I am interested in taking Lions or elephants, and definitely not Zebras. None of these species has ever held an attraction as a game animal to me. I would, however, consider taking a Leopard. I think that would be a cool hunt.

1 - Sable and Derby Eland
2- Cape Buffalo in July 2010 and who knows what sundries I'll get at the same time. I should start giving that some thought.

One of each. 
2) What African animals do you plan on hunting in the future?
Sable, warthog, maybe leopard, and any antelope found in the area that I'm hunting that I haven't already shot.

I'd love to stare down a charging Dugga Boy with a double rifle in hand, waiting for that final rush of adrenalin to clear the head and steady the hands...
I have a long list of animals I'd like to hunt there, as many of the spiral horned antelope as I could find, the bigger ones first - Darby's Eland would be great, Nyala, Kudo of course. The Bongos look beautiful, but I don't know if I'd like to hunt in those hot conditions, maybe I could be persuaded. I don't think I'd chase the big cats or the Elephants, for some reason they just don't appeal to me (and they're ridiculously expensive regardless). A Zebra rug is something I've always wanted...
One of these days...one of these days.

Does Africa have Pheasant, Chukar, Grouse? Dove? Should I bring my shotgun with my upland stamp?
