You know you are a safari addict when…

[detutt]

When YOUR house IS the trophy room

When YOUR house IS the trophy room

I'm working on that one.

You know your an addict when, You start to think Danm I can do better than a 55 inch Kudu and start making calls!

 

[Stretch]

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!

He he. We were just at the Madison zoo where my wife Packsy keep estimating yardage and making the motion of drawing her bow back, much to the dismay of some other patrons. Seems that hanging with me has causes her to be "under the influence."

When watching national geographic your misses says honey wouldn't that make a nice trophy and makes the sound of cocking a rifle.

When, before safari, you make trips to Cabelas specifically to look at the mounts...then after your return you go back and smile when you realize your trophies are bigger!

 

[BARTFRNCS]

When all you own and wear is Safari clothes.

 

[Ado]

When you are in the middle of a divorce and all you want in settlement is enough for the next safari!

Ado.

I am in that situation now and almost the only thing I think about is how to have plenty of money for trophy fees when I go to SA to hunt next year

When you measure every day-to-day household expenses in your own unit of currency - the warthog...

"...those jeans cost half a warthog..."

"...that car service cost me three warthogs, and those tyres another two..."

And those bloody groceries, that's a warthog every week!

You are a "Redneck", when you go to the same divorce lawyer as the wife to save $$$$$., Just like hunting 2x1. LOL!

I will only hunt 2x1 if it is my wife or son hunting with me. In either case I am perfectly happy to give them first crack at the animals.

Other than them..I never will again.

Same here. In the total cost of a hunt the price difference is inconsequential between 2x1 and 1x1. In terms that some who have posted above can relate to, that is only 1/2 of a Wildebeest on a 10 day hunt or a Steinbok on a 7 day hunt. Save for 1 more month and go 1x1. If you choose to spend some of those days 2x2 with your hunting buddy, great, your still way ahead.

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.

Yes, I'm there. Practicing on feral hogs with a .375 is quite interesting, though.

 

[Ole Bally]

when you wear your hunting boots into the office with your pin stripped suit coz the PH said they have to be worn in!

When you wear Khaki clothes to the office ...and it's on wall street!

When you cuss the 'African American' yello cab taxi driver out in Zulu ...and he replies!

 

[Ole Bally]

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!

Damn good dog..I mean 'asset' there!

When YOUR house IS the trophy room

That is exactly my case :biggrin2:

I saved money by not getting any lawyers involved in it at all

The only ones I would hunt 2x1 with, are my children.

Norwegianwoods,

Keep your spirits high. AH will help get you through this.
