After reading too many threads about why SCI sucks and the perfect dangerous game rifle; I thought I would add a little levity to the forum. Feel free to add on.

You might have an African hunting problem if....

1. You wear gaiters while cutting the grass
2. Take the Perfect Shot Guide to the zoo
3. Know the calling codes for African countries
4. Your taxidermist named his boat after you
5. You read the AR African Forum more then once a day
6. You have your favorite PH/Outfitter/Booking Agent programmed in your cell phone.

Fraid I'm guilty of two of those, and I don't visit the zoo.

I thought I would add a little brevity to the forum.

I think you where going for "levity". Brevity is shortness. Good ones though. I'm guilty of more than a couple!

7. You have 68 African hunting TV shows saved on your TiVo.

Hello my name is Mike......

Second thought, I may be an addict but I dont want any 12 step program. I am quite happy as is. I guess that is what is meant by functioning addict.

... the ring tone on your cell phone is a trumpeting elephant!

You are correct, levity instead of brevity.

My taxidermist named his new building after me!
I haven't seen him for so long we will need to introduced to each other. Getting tired of his promises, maybe I will have to get a new taxidermist that needs a new building.

When your taxidermist phones you once a week to see how you doing.

When your Ph sends you updated pics of animals from current hunts.

When you cancell a valentine date to go to the bush.

When your girlfriend starts reminding you 9 months before that her birgthday is on the 5 April please be present.

When you stop dreaming of sexy naked woman and instead its black mane lion and eles.

I could honestley add about another 100 to this list.But one more

When your girlfriend of 4 years who hates hunting with a passion starts telling you that the new kudu youve just put up will look better in the dinningroom

Just one more.
When youve got hunts booked untill the end of 2013.

I don't have a problem! I am not addicted. I can stop any time I want. Really! It's just that I don't want to stop. But I could if I wanted to. Really,I could.

My wife considers my hunting, including Africa a sickness,,, but I am not looking for the cure!

I built 2400 ft of more storage because I am out of room for trophy mounts, guns and gear,,,

I paid more to taxidermists than what my 401 is now worth,,, thanks to the economy,,,

...... while making love to your wife, she calls you by the names of the last 15 PH's the two of you have hunted with.......

if...

your daughter is called Nyati

your son is called Tembo,

your cat is called Simba,

your dog is called Fisi,

you think re-mortgaging the house to buy a double rifle is a reasonable idea,

you send your wife off on a yoga holiday so you can go to Africa with your mates and shoot things,

you start investing your pension in dangerous game hunts - ratiionalising that the more you do, the less likely you'll be around to need teh money later.

Khaki fewer is a bastard they also get baboon desease

when you put braso first on the shopping list.
whan you start cooking in grains and not grams or ounces

If you wear an elephant hair bracelet every day to work (in an office).....

If all your computer and BlackBerry screen savers are something African...

If you consider a .375 H&H a perfectly reasonable coyote rifle...

If you periodically check Trader Joe's for Tusker or Castle...

If you click on the Accurate Reloading forum more than once a day.

...if you feel inadequately armed because you only have 4 rifles bigger and more powerful than the .375 H&H.

When you consider a 21 day safari a better investment than your 401/ira. Wait a minute, these days it is a better investment. At least you get fed on safari.

When you go to the Field Museum in Chicago, most of your day is spent staring at the Lions of Tsavo and the Maneater of Mfuwe.

Our pitbull is named "Tsavo".

So I guess we have it bad.
