Mark, I just finished watching Use Enough Death; excellent, as usual. The buff' that you guys followed up, trying to see if it would charge, was interesting. That buffalo ran off each time it was confronted. A repeat customer, Jim. | |||

The loudest chuckle is coming from the one who is laughing all the way to the bank from the sale of DVDs and safaris booked. Saeed has unwittingly become the absolute best, without a doubt, undisputed, No. 1 Sponsor and Promoter of Mark Sullivan DVDs and Safaris! I mean, who does a better job of keeping the Sullivan name and controversy alive and raging? Exactly the thing a controversial figure benefits from the most ... more controversy!!  Now that's funny right there; don't care who ya R!! | |||

Gents: From last night's count (Alaska time): Thread on Saeed's DVDs: 47 posts and 1087 views. The currently running threads (5) on MS: 917 posts and 42,863 views. And a question. Is it possible to find out who on AR has made the most posts about MS for the currently running 5 threads on him? No conclusions here, just numbers. Cheers, gentlemen.

Has anyone ever heard why he was banned by SCI? ____________________________________________ "Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life." Terry Pratchett. | |||

This thread is a classic. ISS's claim on elk still takes the cake...still waiting on the pictures of those 28 350 bulls so I can sign off AR forever... | |||

In my opinion he was banned because of the Green-Eyed Monster. Nothing more and nothing less. People continually complain about his ego. Who cares about someone's ego? If that really mattered then SCI needs to ban half of its members. People who didn't hunt with him complained about his methods. But those who did said good things and were repeat customers. People didn't like the fact that he made and promoted videos. Some say the same about Craig Bodington. So what? They are making money and not hurting anyone. Did Bell make money off of his books? Corbett? Capstick? Russel Annabel? And what about John Wootters, Bill Jordan, Rick Jameson, etc., etc.....? They all promoted themselves in various ways to sell what they wrote. People buy Sullivan's videos for entertainment and they sell well because they are entertaining. Other outfitters and professional hunters condemn him. They may not have liked his methods but he was a great success at what he did. And, when it comes to professional hunters, Mark Sullivan wasn't the only one guilty of braggadocio. Green-Eyed Monster. Nothing more and nothing less. | |||

As this is one of the recent topics which mentions MS, and has not been moved overnight elsewhere, I will post what I have written in the moved topics, which are now in the "Miscellaneous" part of the "Other Topics" section: So why did this topic (and other related topics over Mark Sullivan) get moved secretly, during the night, from the "African Big Game Hunting" section, into the "Other Topics: Miscellaneous Topics" section? I have been quite saddened that these threads had degenerated into what can only be described as internet bullying. I realize that censorship is not ideal, but felt that at times, those in charge were actually fueling the fire. AR members will wonder where these topics went, if they didn't already have them in their Favourites Folder. Dear Saeed and Moderators, we would value your input please. Peter I believe this type of action is what is leading to the loss of the best contributors on AR, a real shame. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “A man can never have too much red wine, too many books, or too much ammunition” ― Rudyard Kipling | |||

Wow, what a thread! Thanks sorta for resurrecting it. I actually feel very sorry for Mark. How could the most experienced dangerous game PH in modern history have the worst shooting clients in the history of hunting? If I were Mark, I would send every one of my clients to a PH shooting school before they were allowed into the bush with me. Wow they suck.  ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

You might have missed the point. Hunters who like to shoot their own animals avoid him like the plague  Those who are not too confident of their own shooting ability hunt with him. Knowing full well he will kill their animals for them, and get his few minutes of glory  | |||

Well, that's about the only explanation left. I know many of the old school PH's who were with the Zim Parks Board back in the day (80's) who shot thousands of buff a year. None of them ever talk about the armored plated buff, or the buff that rose from the dead, or even the cursed zombie buff that simply could not die. Nope, buff die about as easily as a Duiker assuming proper shot placement the first time. Now Gemsbok on the other hand... oh my hat... I can say Mark is one hell of a shot on charging animals, but then again he has more experience with that than 40 dangerous game PHs combined. He should stop selling videos and open a school and do something useful with all his experience. Seems kinda selfish that he's not sharing, but I suppose there would be a lot more dead clients out there in the bush if he quit guiding. I do have a question for Mark's clients - When you go to mount your trophy, do you put a little plaque under it with "Shot By Me & Mark Sullivan"?  ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

I bet there's more money in videos than there is in a shooting school. But then again, there would probably be a long list of folks wanting to have him teach them. LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

Actually he could combine all three: Have the client pay for the hunt. The clients gets to wound the buff, then the student PH gets to practice on the charging buff while Mark shouts instructions and videos the entire encounter. It's a win, win, win. The client gets a trophy, the student PH begins to learn how to make a buff charge, and Mark makes more money. Hummmm, does Mark have a business advisor??? ___________________ Just Remember, We ALL Told You So. | |||

By golly! I think you've got it. Now, what do we title the video? LORD, let my bullets go where my crosshairs show. Not all who wander are lost. NEVER TRUST A FART!!! Cecil Leonard | |||

There is another, more suitable term, for this, but I won't say it | |||

No Tony I won't say it. It involves wives and husbands wanting other men to do what they should be doing with them. A perfect analogy to describe those who hunt with him | |||
