Hey guys, thanks for the props!!! I actually figured out on my own how to change the title. I changed the title for a thread I started from "AFRICAN SAFARI" to "AFRICAN SAFARI PHOTOS". I'd like to know how I can put more than a dozen photos on my page; I know some guys in here can put 24.

In South Africa I used a 7mm Rem Mag, and in Namibia I used a .300 Win Mag. I didn't bring my own gun because I knew I would be visiting Senegal and Botswana as well. I shot a total of 13 animals, and everything except the Kudu was one shot, one kill. Since I shot the Kudu first, that means I shot 12 animals in a row with just one shot. My guide said the average hunter needs 3 shots per animal. I was able to taste a little of almost everything, and it all tasted good to me. I am having everything with horns shoulder mounted, and the zebra and ostrich will be a flat skin. The monkey will just be a bleached skull because my wife won't let a monkey in the house!!! I intend to put as many mounts in the house as the wife will let me get away with, and the rest will go in the garage where I have one stall that is partially closed off, carpeted, and of course cable TV!!! It will take about a year to get everything home, and they will deliver right to the door.

weez, our business is up and running, remember we are at the corner of Gateway and Columbia, next to your favorite store - Happy Harrys. So stop on by! We opening our next location in Crookston, it will be open sometime in November. Might cut into hunting this year, but hopefully will free up a lot of time in the years to come.

catterman, I'd like to go with you next year, but I think I'll have to wait....by the time I get all the mounts hung up in the house in a year or so, I will have about 26k invested. Very memorable though, truely a trip of a life time. Ya'll will have to come out to the OC to see them when they get hung up!!! I am looking at going again in four years with a couple other guys and our families...
BTW - I second the motion on ladies in spandex flexing around!!!!!!!

hot females? or ones you feel sorry for their spandex? is that one of those sexy fitness clubs like you see in the bally total fitness comercials? i am pretty sure that one girls juggs are fake. oh anyways 26 g's is alot but if a person does it one time and it is something you remember for the rest of your life and have a great time then it is worth every penny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CNgwZgoKFc this wasn't from your guyses expedition was it dee???????

weez - no that wasn't me. Beside I hunted alone, no other hunters. BTW - That guide is no longer in business because of that video.

booboobear - thanks, I didn't know that.

catterman - maybe spandex and yoga classes would be a good addition to your buisness? Of course I would also offer one-way glass for viewing purposes....maybe charge for that as well?!!!! With the right ladies I think you could do very well!!!

lol i showed my gf your pictures and she said that steenbok is so damn cute how could anyone shoot them. i looked at her and said you shoot whitetail [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and i seen a different version of that video where afterwards them idiots are all standing around giving each other high 5's. i think when that lion was standing there after the first shot i would have pumped a couple more in it. oh and catterman i bet you didn't think you would get great business advice like this right here on the forum. if you did that i might get a lifetime membership.
