If your grandkids are watching animal cartoons and you change the channel to Nat Geo so you can watch and tell them about REAL African animals.

If your grandkids call you on FaceTime and ask you to show them the animals in your trophy room again.

If you and the grandkids take an empty rifle stock and stalk, hunt, “shoot” and pose with the animals in your trophy room that your grandkids “shot” while your wife takes the pictures.

When driving on a two lane road in the US with a vehicle in front of you doing maybe half of the speed limit with too much oncoming traffic to pass and the first thing you yell is, MOVE YOU POES!!!

 

[NDWoods]

When you can look up in your corporate office and see a Cape Buffalo mount, look up in your living room and see 7 other species, and look up in your home office to see the 375 Barnes bullet pulled from just under the skin of your first Cape Buffalo.

or

When you consider a Jack Russell Terrier an appropriate breed to take when hunting animals that can kill you! LOL I like that one.
