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 start to develop a taste for instant coffee

And policeman’s coffee

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