Ya mean it's not? Well...Damn.

Oops... beautiful legs? I missed read something. I thought this was the hairiest, bloody ugliest legs contest thread.:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Shorts…
 
Love shorts. Would not wear them hunting on the Eastern Cape if they discounted the hunt. Spikey burrs, thorns, bugs and sliding down hills on my ass...no thank you.
 
What about wearing shorts in the eastern cape in the first part of May? Is the temp to cool at the that time of the year? I wear shorts all summer long and end to the early fall while bow hunting here in Arkansas.

Shorts whenever possible, BUT, sunscreen is needed. Don’t want to burn like I did in 2018
 
Easier to get in and out of a high lorry wearing shorts. I am 87 and someone helps me out of vehicle anyway. Plus, I look silly in shorts
 
You’re still hunting at 87, you wear whatever the hell you want. Good on you. :cool:

Its a 50-50 chance on the weather. It has been my experiences maybe the first and second days in shorts the rest of the time wearing pants and long sleeve shirt, and a few days layered in long John's and a heavy coat.

Yeah me too. The nice thing about being in the bush you're not at a fashion show. Any animal that laughs just gave themselves away for an opportunity shot.
 
The last two trips have been cold……May and June in central Namibia, so shorts only in the afternoon.

Hmmm. If that turns out to be a legitimate tactic, I'd consider wearing my red Speedo. :ROFLMAO:

A hard red line must be drawn in the shale, clay, silt, sand, rock, cacti, aka African soil, ......No Men are allowed to wear speedos as exterior clothing.

What's under one's swimsuit, shorts, or pants, is their own business.

It's okay to cause animals, your PH(s), tracker(s) to die laughing while one is wearing shorts. To maliously make animals very nervous as to why they are being hunted is just totally inhumane.

My first Safari over 20 years ago I thought it would be cool to have the zip off style cargo pants. After a couple of days in Tanzania I knew that the bottoms would never be unzipped and so they stopped coming with me on safari. 3 pairs of cotton brush twill pants every safari after is what I bring.

@Gerty , I don't care about the shorts discussion (Lol), but are you back from your hunt? How was it?
 
I typically bring 2 pairs of shorts. I rarely wear them at home, but in Africa I prefer to since it’s a little quieter.

As for ticks, I think I can actually feel them better on me in shorts so I notice them more. I say that after getting Tick Bite Fever in March/April this year but the ticks were the worst I’ve ever seen.
 
I did this last trip to the Save, but won't do so again. The ticks created havoc, one in the groin!
Better still are the WR safari cargo trousers with puttees, comfortable and safe.

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.

Hello,
I might be able to help you out depending on how many you need. I could probably spare 50-75 .285g A-Frames. They are factory pulls that look like new. Let me know if you are still looking,
Thanks,
Gary
