This site is probably my favorite corner of the internet, which has many corners. I may never get to hunt Africa so I come here for vicarious thrills and to make sure that if an opportunity should present itself I'm as ready as I can be mentally. My initial interest in Africa was sparked by the first book I ever read because I wanted to read it, Carl Akeley's In Brightest Africa, more years ago than I care to admit. I have since read every major and many, many minor works dealing with African hunting, Taylor and White and Cummings and Roosevelt and Berger and Capstick and Ruark and...

It is without exaggeration that I say that, despite reading something north of 75 books on African hunting, I have likely read more about it on Accurate Reloading than all the books combined; certainly more that is current and up to date.

On AR I have "met" Ivan Carter and Butch Searcy and Jerry Huffaker, true gentlemen and absolute craftsmen in their chosen fields. I have been gifted by our gracious host with hunting videos that could have been sold for hundreds, and been well worth the price, merely for asking.

Currently this part of my favorite corner of the internet is dominated by Mark Sullivan. Some think he's the finest thing since soft toilet paper was invented, others, myself included, find him a thoroughgoing asshole. Nobody's mind is going to change.

Either way, please, enough.

Please?

I agree but you can easily do such as I ... don't click on those threads! I have no idea what is even within them, nor do I really care!

A wise decision, Grasshopper...

I couldn't agree more. If you like Mark good for you. If you don't so what? No one wants to hear it anymore. This got old a long time ago.

Rhyme of the Sheep Hunter
May fordings never be too deep, And alders not too thick; May rock slides never be too steep And ridges not too slick.
And may your bullets shoot as swell As Fred Bear's arrow's flew; And may your nose work just as well As Jack O'Connor's too.
May winds be never at your tail When stalking down the steep; May bears be never on your trail When packing out your sheep.
May the hundred pounds upon you Not make you break or trip; And may the plane in which you flew Await you at the strip.
-Seth Peterson

Reminds me of the old joke:

What do the USS Enterprise and Charmin have in common?

They both circle Uranus in search of Klingons.


It only works if you use the old pronunciation of "Uranus".

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.

I believe this type of action is what is leading to the loss of the best contributors on AR, a real shame.
