You might be an African Safari hunter if……

[jimbo1972]

Sitting in Joberg airport waiting to get on my plane to Atlanta after a wonderful plains game hunt. (Hunt report will be posted after I have a chance to absorb all that happened)
Got to thinking it might be fun to start you might be a African Safari hunter if thread:

I will start. You might be a African Safari hunter if you wear your hunting boots on the plane and you look for other hunting boots at the airport.

If you look at AH threads more than once per day....

If you start to develop a taste for instant coffee

And policeman’s coffee

If you find yourself jonesing for biltong

 

[Hogpatrol]

If you find yourself reading hunting reports and instead of staring at a computer screen you're thinking "Damn, I wish I was back there".

 

[TXdawg]

If you’re convinced that the 375 H&H is one of the finest “medium” bore cartridges ever produced!!

 

[shootist~]

If you constantly wonder if you should have bought (or built) that 35 Whelen, 375 H&H, 9.3x62, ......,........,

If you carry around a 404 Jeffery cartridge to remind yourself daily that you're saving for a 404 Jeffery

If you wear Courteney boots on a daily basis.

If in the following week after you get back from your latest "once in a lifetime" trip, you're sitting in a meeting at work and find yourself day dreaming about being on the back of a bakkie swatting Tsetse's with a smile on your face. But then the smile goes away after you realize you're knee deep in a discussion of solder viscosity and you wished someone would put a 375 through your head.

 

[Puddle]

If you tell someone who asked, "it's a 9-3 Mauser" and they don't then say, "what's that?"

 

[358 Norma]

If you find yourself jonesing for biltong

Or trying to figure out how to get Simba Sea salt and vinegar potato chips in the United States!
Or buying another rifle for Cape Buffalo hunting when you already own six of them!

I avoid wearing the safari getup while traveling. I do wear hunting clothes but they look more like something worn to work ... at a hardware store. My boots are inconspicuous. No camo or bespoke safari footwear. I've had people ask at the airport what's the long case for. "Saxaphone." If I was decked out in camo, I'm sure they wouldn't need to ask. I am a hunter but no need to advertise that I enjoy killing things. No Browning buck or Ducks Unlimited decals on my Jimmy's back window.

Guess I'm just not into branding myself. But that's just me.

If Biltong is your car air freshener!

 

[franzfmdavis]

When your two year old spends his mornings asking to hunt “dagga boys” in the back yard rather than playing with toys.

 

[DLSJR]

When you’re in temporary self-induced poverty from hunting too much in Africa!

 

[Connor Baumgarten]

If you can name every African species and subspecies but incapable of remembering important people’s names

What animal is this : sitatunga, easy

What is the name of your mechanic for the last 5 years : ….I want to say Jared, but I just don’t know

If buying Africa hunting gear and guns on your credit card is just a way to get points to fly back to Africa on your next safari.
