Safari Club International Weekend - ARRRRRR!!!!!!


Really cool lion mounts.  I'm planning on seeing this in my living room.




And CheyAnn is planning on having this chair in our living room... I'll shoot the zebra


Although extremely large and intimidating, this bear was actually quite friendly in person.

This moose made me feel very small.  But I would still shoot it.

My Dad, Aaron, and I went to the Safari Club International convention in Reno.  The word 'safari' is a Swahili word that comes from the Arabic word 'safar' which means journey.  Heavy trade between Arabs and East Africans brought many Arabic words into the Swahili language.  
Anyway...
Etymology aside, it was extremely sweet.  An enormous convention center filled with (dead) animals, ridiculously expensive guns, and hunters and outfitters from all over the world.  It was pretty much the greatest safari adventure you could possibly have without a) leaving the US or b) killing something.
I had a great time with Dad and Aaron and it has gotten me even more pumped for a lifetime of safaris and adventures and lions in my living room.
