10. You did a satirical rendition of USFWS import permit rules last time you went to improv night
9. You have your taxidermist on #1 in your speed dial
8. Your favorite meal is kudu schnitzel
7. You make automated payments for upcoming hunts but not to your 401k
6. You think 'getting a piece of tail' means you made a bad shot
5. Your dog is named Capstick
4. You consider 338 a sub-gun
73 The stewardesses on the Delta ATL->JNB flight fist-bump you when you board
2. That hot number your wife wears on Valentine's Day is made from real leopard skin
1. You change your ATM pin to the serial number on your Courtneys
 
You spend more time concocting big bore loads than with your family.
Your favorite reading material is a reloading manual.
You rearrange floor and wall space to fit more trophies.

Do we qualify with all of these but trust me when I tell you that I am addicted.
 
You buy a 'sound spa' so that you can fall asleep to "Sounds of the Tanzanian bush"
 
1. When you argue with your wife that Peter Hathaway would make a great name for your first child.

2. You start sporting short inseam shorts and Courtney’s to social events.

3. Your friends know you are so ate up with it they go to great trouble to fly in a case of Castle for you so you’ll quit bitching that you can’t get Castle in Texas!

I bought 4 cases of Castle Lite from southAfricawines.com. Love that beer!!! Looking forward to having it in Zimbabwe again in September!!!
 
The whole time you're at the zoo,
you're judging trophy quality and shot angles.
My sons and I get more dirty looks doing this than you can believe!
 
The UPS driver smiles when he drops off a package at your office that he knows is ammo because of the weight.

Your 13-year-old son’s favorite meat is Hartman’s Zebra.

Your mom commented once that she likes the blue wildebeest rug... so you give it to her immediately and mentally update your list for the next hunt.

(The Courtney boots CC PIN number is hilarious!!)
 
When you estimate shot distance using pets in the park.

When you draw your imaginary bow at something at least twice a day.

The amount of ‘charging’ dogs I’ve dropped with my non-existent Westley Richards double...

I often wonder as I punch in my PIN number how many of us gun nuts have one that is associated with a gun or cartridge?
 
*You check this site everyday

*When you fly, you look at the map in the back of whatever airlines magazine, and dream of taking any of the routes that get you to Africa

*You look at your taxidermy, and loose track of time daydreaming of how each stalk went, and then dream some more about a possible future stalk!
 
As soon as we got home from 1st trip we go to liquor store to check for Amarula! Then we hi fived when we found it!

I don't know how many gates I have that are locked with a 4-digit combo lock that is 3-0-0-6!
