If I may, I would like to point out one major error in your postings. You are trying to apply logic, something that is totally foreign to a lot of posters on this forum, let alone the facts.

You might as well try to push a sloppy turd up a steep slope with a sharp stick.

This is interesting. Much is made that no individual who has ever hunted with Mark has come forward to defend him. I don't remember reading any posts by accusers who hunted with him either. Thus, using typical AR keyboard justice he is innocent and guilty. Case closed!

OK, 80 posts; 2,857 views (that's Two thousand, Eight hundred Fifty seven Views) at this point, and still all the people in the world who check out Accurate Reloading, no one has yet to post that they actually hunted with Him. For those who have not figured it out, I have never hunted with Him. May be time to end this thread.

I'm not sure how you guys managed to miss this by our own Dave Fulson:

... In 1993 I spent over two months filming portions of "Death On The Run" for Sullivan in Tanzania. I was, and still am grateful for the chance that trip provided me. During that safari I saw and filmed a lot of hunting, shooting ( yes, some by MS) and experienced safari life with Mark. I was impressed with his bedside manner with clients, and felt that he truly enjoys Africa and the adventure he finds in his role of P.H The clients who I was in camp were in awe of him ( as many hunters of their P.H.'s no matter where they hunt) and there were some great trophies taken from some very good areas. I had some real good memories from that hunt, but also crossed swords with Mark on one matter that got very ugly, very fast. It was and is a private problem, and to both our credit as guys that can go from 0 to 60 real quick, we solved it to our satisfaction. While there were situations that I did not agree with on the trip, there is one area I will address. I saw a lot of buff shot on that trip, and I never saw one by either MS or a client intentionally wounded to provide charge situations. Charges did happen, and you know that MS relishes those situations like no other P.H I had seen before or since, but none ON THAT SAFARI were wounded in order to prompt angry animals. Poor shooting was to blame in the instances I filmed. Mark wanted to be well known, he has stated that from day 1. Mission accomplished in the safari biz. To some he is more infamous than famous, to each his own. I never hunted, or tried to hunt with Mark after that hunt, but I look back on it as a good experience all in all. Besides those days in '93 I cannot comment on a single aspect of his methods in the field. I have seen his DVD's , and like many of you have disagreed with some of the content. Enough said. Jeff asked someone with experience on safari with Mark to state their experience. That is what I have done. Certainly my limited experience in the field is simply a peek into a long career and should not be taken as anything but that. I never saw the wounding of game for video purposes on that one safari. Others may have different experiences...

A PH by the name of Sherdell from Usangu Safaris told me that MS gut shoot buffalo with a .223 to get charges.

I have been on six safaris, and not one PH has had anything good to say about Mark, except for his shooting.

Alright, I'll stick my 2 cents in here. I just recently watched Appaloosa for the 1st time and must say Everett was great. A loyal friend with a mean ass 8 gauge shotgun. Great show.

Appaloosa was good as recent western, however, Russel Crowe was fantastic as the role of "Ben Wade" in "3:10 to Yuma"! This was actually a remake of the 1950's film where Glenn Ford played Ben Wade. Wade referred to his gun as the "Hand of God", and the grip was inlaid with a gold Crucifix. Ben Wade claimed in the movie that he actually read the bible from cover to cover in 3 days at the age of 8. 3:10 to Yuma was actually filmed right outside of Santa Fe New Mexico. When I was out visiting the Plaza in Santa Fe last year, one of the local jewelers who has a shop there, was the one who was hired to cast the gold Crusifix for the gun stock. He was requested to make three sets for the movie.

This thread is the exact same situation in Botswana - we are allways accused by the anti hunters for doing this and doing that - we have replied in many public forums - its a crime to witness something and not report it, so if anybody saw Mark Sullivan do somehting wrong - they are obliged to report it to the legal authorities . Otherwise its just rumour, or urban legend. MS's reputation is largely based on hearsay - I have also heard good and bad - but thats what it is - hearsay. So from a marketing point of view - hats off to Mark it worked. But to the reputation of hunting its not good - so that why we need anyperson who has any concrete facts or proof to do the right thing - otherwise - lets stop spreading the BS.
