The other love of your life

My wife and daughter
Fine rifles
Reading
My work, for what it allows me to do outside of work.
 
I was looking at boats one day out in front of the Bass Pro in Grapevine, TX. An old timer passed by and he said to me "You know what boat stands for? Break Out Another Thousand. Don't fall down that hole" and he kept on walking. :LOL:

Just guns for me mostly but I do have quite a few knives that I enjoy. Spyderco and Zero Tolerance mostly. My wife gifted me a Spyderco Shaman for Christmas this year and it goes with me everywhere
 
We all love our rifles and guns, but what other posessions do you have that make your heart happy?
i have two, the first is my Series 1 Land Rover that we take on hunts and I drive every day.
the other is boats, fishing boats for Lake Kariba tiger fishing mostly. The flagship is a 22ft Interceptor hull with a Yamaha 250 SHO 4 stroke on the back, quite fast. My daughter drives this one, she has her skippers license and can handle it better than I. The second is a 19ft Falcon with a Yamaha 115 4 stroke. My brother and I use this one. Number three is a Samurai, also 19ft with an old dog Evinrude 150 on the back.
Why so many boats? Because I always fish in s group with family and friends and a dozen people on one boat is a bit much, especially when hooks start flying around!

Now Kevin my mother told me she killed off all the stupid ones in our family lol!!! Of course my greatest treasure not possession is the beautiful Mrs. Rare Breed!!!
 
Hunting and my hunting rifles are my passion but unfortunately I can’t be hunting all the time so my other possession I love is my boat. Of course my true love is in that boat

That would be hunting in North America
 
Wife, Grand daughter, daughter (in that order), 17 ft deep V Tracker boat (could fill a bobtail truck to the brim with the fish that have come into it) all my guns, and antique wood working tools, many in an antique chest where everything is fitted into its place--keep them all true and sharp as a razor. Could include blueing equipment. Can't leave out a good church full of good people...

may I suggest Intaba Safaris in the East Cape by Port Elizabeth, Eugene is a great guy, 2 of us will be there April 6th to April 14th. he does cull hunts(that's what I am doing) and if you go to his web site he is and offering daily fees of 200.00 and good cull prices. Thanks Jim
Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
Very inquisitive warthogs
