The fact is that there are going to be some very good deals on safaris during the coming year. Some will be from cancellations where another hunter has chosen to forfeit his deposit, and others will be from outfitters who are having trouble selling hunts and need to keep the cash flow rolling.

For those who do not have a bank account filled with funds ready for a hunt, I offer the following suggestions, which I have posted before. To those who have already seen these, please forgive me.

How to generate funds for your safari:

sell your boat
sell your motorcycle
sell your 4 wheelers
sell your airplane
sell your wife's jewelry
sell your duck club membership
sell your photo equipment except 1 pocket camera
sell your telescope
quit going out to dinner
quit going to concerts
quit going to movies
quit going to sporting events
quit buying CDs and movies
quit buying clothes
quit smoking
quit drinking
quit donating to the Obama campaign
take your lunch to work
sell your junk on ebay
sell your antiques
sell your extra car
cancel your family vacation
cancel your cable TV and spend time on the treadmill instead
sell all your rifles except 2
sell all your shotguns except 1
sell all your handguns except 2
sell all the ammo and reloading components for the guns that you sold
get bitten by a dog and sue the owner
get a part time job (if your regular job will permit)
work overtime if possible
etc.

You get the idea.
