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!

When all you own and wear is Safari clothes.

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.

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

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!

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

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.
