You might be an African Safari hunter if……

If you’re reading this thread from a lodge… in South Africa…

When you go to seat the first .375 bullet of the day and for a split second think you grabbed one for a 30 06.
 
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.

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.
 
If the idea of being in a airplane for 16 hrs doesn't seem that bad!

We did 21. Flight from Jo'burg back to EWR was re-routed to PR to refuel due to a mechanical issue. 21 hours, on the same plane. It was worth it though.
