You know you are a safari addict when…

You know you are a safari addict when:
The pictures in your wallet are of your African Trophies and not the wife.
 
When you design an Africa room in the house you're planning, and you haven't even been yet.
And when you've already bought the .375 H&H although the only game around is deer, goats and roos.
 
When on the day you return from safari #5, you ask the wife to help save for the next trip trying for next year.
I started saving 3 weeks ago on my first day back stateside, she said "yes, lets go"! :-)
 
You know your a safari addict when your wallet is empty and your trophy room is full.
 
When your three year old daughter tells everybody daddy hunts kudu for a living
 
As per wombat........
and when you keep looking for stuff to sell to pay for the next trip.....the boat is long sold, a rifle or two gone, I sold my dog ...he came back..I sold my dog, he came back, I sold my dog....s..t he's a clever mutt!
 
Well said Diamondhitch!!!!!

"You know your a Safari Addict when"....You walk into your bank and the loan officer says "I haven't seen you in five years, since your here, the last loan must be paid off and you must be planning another trip to Africa"
 
When you get your wife and kids to hunt as well! VERY EXPENSIVE !!!:think:
 
"You know you are a safari addict when", you are spending too much time away from the wife and she is suspicious, all this time you are spending it with your taxidermist.

A Dream can be relived again and again in Africa
 
You know your a safari addict when your wife threatens to divorce you, "if you bring another d _ _ _ dead animal into my house."
 
Your are there when this phrase makes perfect sense

"I hunt so I don't have to play golf"
 
even worse (like me)

Your guns are cleaned, your bags are packed, you check "hunting deals" twice a day and have 5 airlines on speed dial

As the current S.O. says.... a sad little man

Every time you have to go to the airport and you see someone in Khaki you are wondering "I bet he's going hunting!
 
When driving arround your town, you start to notice every wooded lot looks like the African bush!........then you start to hallucinate......Did I just see a Kudu standing there!
 
When you wear your Courtney's and gators to church.
 
When your trophy room is larger than the rest of your house......
 
When your travel agent asks which seats you would like and you reply "next to another hunter".
 
When you have to go buy an XMark Zero turn lawnmower (a couple hours from now) and you keep thinking that "my son and I are going on our first safari and that is the same price."
Then you wonder how much the neighbors would complain if you booked a trip for next year with that money and just let the grass grow.
 
When you start dreaming of ways to smuggle a raw kudu tenderloin past the guys at customs........

When you mention the word "Safari" and your taxidermist cracks a huge grin.......

When you're standing at the Blesbok exhibit at the San Diego zoo and some busybody gets all offended when she sees you looking through trophy photos to see if yours is bigger than the one in the exhibit........... That still cracks me up!

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

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?
