What do you do for a living?

BY day i am a high school history teacher in the suburbs of Chicago. I afford my hunting by starting my own educational consulting and tutoring company. I work two full time jobs that afford me the opportunity to pursue my deepest passion of African Safari hunting

@NIGHTHAWK
Before enlightenment chip wood withaxe and block buster.
After enlightenment use chainsaw and hydraulic log splitter
After more enlightenment get someone else to do the job, charge more for the product work less and still make money.

Hello everyone,

Haven’t posted in a while but just curious. What do you all do for a living to afford your hunts?
Definitely jealous of all of your safaris but living vicariously through your posts!


Thanks

I’m a Construction Foreman by no means wealthy I add everything up for my trip. Tips, airfare, hotel in joberg, flight to PE, day rates, dip/pack or taxidermy there etc… then I figure out how much to save a paycheck or by month whatever works then go. All else fails make you an OnlyFans page and sell that bootie

My wife and I both worked and she was told that she would never have children so I went to Africa. Two years later she got pregnant. It took me 39 years of working in the prison system and paying off our house to make another safari after I retired.

It's mostly a matter of deciding that you want to do it, and then not pissing away your income on unnecessary "extras." Gambling, excessive drinking (or drugs), a new vehicle every other year, etc. cuts into your ability to finance a safari. So does having chikdren. When I went on my first safari, a friend asked me how I could do it. I pointed out yo him that he had just bought a new ski boat for about the same amount of money. Now you have to ask your self, "What do I care about?"
