Pet peeves?

For the 2018 season, I'll be carrying a whip....
I suppose I should be thankful for the heads up.

After the hunt people are going to be a bit surprised when I explain the truth about bruises and welts not being from tree branches and such.
 
trying to book a trip with your favoured outfitter/ph to find he has no spaces :cry: when I can travel
 
So, is my new hunting gear going to piss a few PH's off?

A Whip, Short Blue Shorts and a Lone Ranger Mask, Interesting, How soon Can I book
 
I bought a new Win 70 SE .375 H&H. It's a fine rifle fit for a good hunt. I've acquired a few boxes of 300 grain TSX, but haven't fired any. I'm not positive I can handle the recoil quite yet.

Pet peeve? Just when stuff gets in the way of my first trip. Nothing kills the Africa Hunt Fund like a back surgery.
 
Pet peeve #1
On a long stalk in open ground you slowly and tentatively go through a thorn thicket doubled over to avoid detection .
Looking back to see where your great white hunter is .... you see he's not interested in ducking through the thicket but has rather just walked around it, standing upright in open ground Glassing ...

Leaving me full of scratches and thorns , like I enjoy being scratched and making me wonder if he thought that I only went through there to fulfill my obsessive compulsion to be scratched up.
To add insult to injury the game will spot us and be moving off.
Then it's the guides fault ....
Lol
 
High powered rifles.

The beloved phrase used by the media in association with hunters and hunting.

WTF is a high powered rifle.

As far as I'm concerned my rifles have no power unless a cartridge is inserted into the chamber.
They are just assemblies of wood and metal.

The power comes from the cartridge and the explosion of gunpowder.

The rifle is merely an instrument used to propel a bullet to a desired location.

Why does the media seem obsessed with 'high powered rifles' for hunting.
Why can't they say 'high velocity projectile'?
 
Drunks, people who for some pathetic reason can't enjoy a cocktail or two, they have to finish the bottle. The person who can't stop after they start drinking. They're certain that they don't have a problem. They take pride in the fact that they can finish a bottle and still stand. They make no apologies for their actions because they live in a state of denial refusing to accept the possibility that their actions are socially unacceptable.

Hi - the only (best) method of sending you the .375/06IMP data is with photographing my book notes. My camera died so the only way I can do it is with my phone. To do that, I would need your e-mail address, as this
new Android phone is too complicated to upload to my desk computer, which would be easier and to down-grade, reduce the file sizes.
Best wishes
Daryl

Hey Steve, This is Steve Washington we met at KMG last year. I am interested in your Winchester. Would love to speak with you about it. I work third shift and I cannot take a phone with me to work. Let me know a good time to call during one of your mornings. My phone is [redacted]. Live in Florida so I have to account for the time difference.
Look forward to hearing from you.

Good day, Slider.

Do you by any chance have any 500NE brass left that you are willing to part ways with?

Best regards,
Boela Bekker.
