Jip, I am fishing for answers because what I am seeing is that when there is a deal to be made, its "no holds barred" and some individuals would sell their mothers in order to seal the deal.  It would be interesting to know if it is legal for an observer to carry and possibly use a firearm which does not belong to him/her and to perform the duties (work) of the PH who is listed/registered to oversee a particular hunt. For that matter, is it LEGAL for a non-resident to be in possession of a firearm during his/her temporary stay in RSA if not as a paying client who is booked on an organized hunt and loaned/hired the firearm by the outfitter? An observer is someone who "tags along" with the group, taking photos, possibly giving advice if he is the client's pet PH from another country or maybe the observer is just a client's family member, but an observer nevertheless. When it is the other way around, when the "PH tags along for legal reasons" is what raises eyebrows. P.S. Is there such a notable difference between SAPHA or PHASA other than the letters being juggled?  | |||

I doubt if there is anyone in the hunting industry who is lily-white and pussy-pure but at least in TZ we accommodate foreign PHs by allowing them to sit a PH exam, obtain their license and conduct their business legally which is more than can be said by our neighbors in our respect and if I were to have it my way, would treat them with reciprocity. MS is a licensed PH in TZ but can only guide his clients in RSA masquerading as an observer.  | |||

An observer carrying a gun makes no difference. But, what happens when an observer shoots an animal?? Why is he carrying a gun in the first instance? Here we are talking about a trigger happy nutcase, who takes every opportunity to shoot his clients animals. Why was this so called hunt advertised as being a hunt with Mark Sullivan, when the facts say he is just a tag along observer? Oh, I keep forgetting, the whole point of this silly comedy show is that one gets to meet the LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN  | |||

I recall a similar situation where, if you were lucky and if you contributed cash to the victim of one of Mr. Boddington's family mishaps (yes plural, there have been more than one), you could hunt with Craig Boddington who does not even pretend to be a PH afaik. The strange thing was this was generally well-received on AR!! As they say, a fool and his money are soon parted.

This thread is incredible. A typical thread in the "offered hunts" forum has one or two posts, maybe a half dozen or so at the most. This thread, in combination with the other one on the same topic, is closing in on 200 posts! Most of them are from people pissing and moaning about how stupid the offer is, how much of a jerk Mark Sullivan is and how much this offer offends them. But they keep on posting, Mark Sullivan keeps getting free publicity and the thread keeps rising to the top of the forum like a turd in a swimming pool. Personally, I wouldn't pay an extra cent to have Mark Sullivan on a hunt with me, although I don't have any strong feelings about him, good or bad...but I also wouldn't pay extra to share a campfire with Craig Boddington (whose writings I very much enjoy) or anybody else, living or dead. Paying for the experience would ruin it for me. I also know that if someone were foolish enough to pay extra to have me tag along on a hunt, I'd smile and take his money...so I can't fault M.S., C.B. or anyone else for doing so. Does this hunt offer bother you? If it does, don't feed the problem...instead, just neglect it to death. | |||

Clients that have hunted numerous times with Mark in Tanzania have inquired about this South Africa hunt and I know at least one has also booked. They see the value in the hunt, that they can bring along an observer for free, leave their rifle and ammunition at home if they want, they know it will be a memorable hunting experience, and great fun as well. Tanzania is also great but this hunt is not possible there at anything near this price point. Shawn Joyce Diizche Safari Adventures P.O.

Any clients who actually decides to "hunt" with an idiot who writes such rubbish is just as deranged as his guide. "..." I realized at 41 I had a choice: to follow my childhood dream," Sullivan said. "I ventured to Tanzania and East Africa, and literally overnight became a professional hunter. I knew not one word of the local dialect. I didn't hear my wife's voice for 5 1/2 months." Sullivan reflected on the popularity of his blood-on-the-shoes hunting method -- and the disdain it earns from some of his fellow exhibitors. "I am the most hated professional hunter the world over," Sullivan said. "Professional hunters hate Mark Sullivan because I do what they don't have the balls to do. I am the only one that willingly walks up to the rogue hippo and great old buffalo and gives them the choice of how they want to die in battle, rather than shooting them to oblivion from safety. I honor these great and noble warriors, offering my life in exchange for what I believe." "What I am doing in my manner is elevating the sport of hunting to its highest level. Killing makes me sick, but hunting is the greatest adventure left on earth," Sullivan said. And Sullivan in turn heaped scorn on the private Texas and Florida game ranches advertising in the booths around him quick trophy kills..." He does not like killing, but very happy to spend time to stop his client killing his own animals, while he sets up all his cameras to get his moment of glory. He does scorns game farms, and now uses them on false pretenses to get his pockets lined by money fro like minded idiots. Bloody hell, is there any redeeming factor for this nut case?? | |||

So should I sign you up for RSA Saeed or are you still undecided? If RSA is not for you I might be able to get you with Mark in Tanzania this year but not sure if it would be for more than 14 days.

I don't think THE LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN would wish to hunt with me. He said it himself many times, his clients are terrible shots. And somehow I don't think I qualify for that. Anyway, I thought he was so busy filling all his time slots with worshiping clients dying for him to kill their buffalo | |||

In less than four pages, 38 post by Saeed ranting the same stuff against Mark. Six times in all caps "LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN." What is your point that you think the rest of us are not getting that you find the need to keep repeating the same old shit? Saeed, your obsession with Mark is shining through more and more each post. Mark is still here. He is still getting clients. He is still selling his videos. He is still getting more name play here on AR (thanks to you). You have everything money can buy, Saeed, except self esteem. Many here don't like Mark for any number of reasons but none, however, seem to attack endlessly and without mercy as do you. You are getting to be a joke on your own forum. You still are to be commended for allowing us to post here. Hey--maybe Mark has tried to post here and you have banned him(?)! This does not happen on other forums. Only on Saeed's AR. The problem is with you, Saeed, not Mark. He still takes the high road and does not reply to your nonsense. You should take gentleman lessons from him. The last word is yours…. Cal PS. Saeed: can I start a poll between this forum and the political forum? "Who does Saeed hate more: 1) Mark Sullivan 2) Donald Trump 3) the USA? That, my mate, would make for some interesting discussion!!! _______________________________ Cal Pappas, Willow, Alaska www.CalPappas.com www.CalPappas.blogspot.com 1994 Zimbabwe 1997 Zimbabwe 1998 Zimbabwe 1999 Zimbabwe 1999 Namibia, Botswana, Zambia--vacation 2000 Australia 2002 South Africa 2003 South Africa 2003 Zimbabwe 2005 South Africa 2005 Zimbabwe 2006 Tanzania 2006 Zimbabwe--vacation 2007 Zimbabwe--vacation 2008 Zimbabwe 2012 Australia 2013 South Africa 2013 Zimbabwe 2013 Australia 2016 Zimbabwe 2017 Zimbabwe 2018 South Africa 2018 Zimbabwe--vacation 2019 South Africa 2019 Botswana 2019 Zimbabwe vacation 2021 South Africa 2021 South Africa (2nd hunt a month later) ______________________________ | |||

Cal Maybe Saeed has a deep psychological problem with bullshit! The above is posted by now of our members. He hit the nail right on the head. | |||

I can't agree more with cal pappas. AR is a well structured base/platform for hunters, but in the pas months I have seen more and more posts by members who have no respect for others or themselves. I just can't see the point in the attacks against each other while we have to face the trolls as well. Instead of standing together we turn on each other  I for one have no time for Martin Pieters, but I won't go on any post with his name, GOOD or BAD and try to ruin him. I have never met Mark Sullivan, I have seen plenty of his videos, some I like, some I don't and still I have nothing to say to him. Respect is everything and some lack exactly that. Just my 2c | |||

This thread is nothing but a publicity stunt. Saeed may have responded more than most, but it's Cal and E.U. that keeps resurrecting it from the depth of the page.Any publicity is....... Lets see now, we shall offer a hunt in South Africa, where Mark can,t PH. We will book a South African PH and piggy back on him. Then we will throw in a few buff in with ear tags, perfect that should stir them up better than April fool.. | |||

I am just trying to keep THE LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN in people's mind. Talk about a legend in his own mind Hated by all his peers, only guides idiots who cannot shoot worth a damn, worshipped by the clueless! This is THE LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN in a nutshell! I hope everyone remembers that all the above descriptions of our hero comes either from his very own mouth, or one of those who worship him! And let us not forget that NON OF US is worthy of walking in his shoes! Again, from one of his worshipping menions | |||

Hi John: It's all in fun. I fly to Kansas tomorrow for a week of turkey hunting. To tell the truth, Mark pays me 25 cents for every post that keeps his name on the fore front. (I think Saeed gets a little more).

Oh boy! Now we have to look forward to THE LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN letting a turkey decide how to die! Just imagine, a wounded turkey, lying right in the open, cameras all set, and our hero walking right up it with his 10 gauge shotgun, to dispatched a harmless turkey. Finally, there is some truth to what the LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN does. The buffalo he faces in his made up charges are just as dangerous as the aforementioned turkey Good luck Cal, I hope you a great, charging turkey day  | |||

The turkey WILL decide how it is to die but only after I can shoot it in the nuts with a .22. Saeed, I hope to meet you in person someday. Do you ever get to hunt in Alaska?

Saeed - In all honesty, you really should give Mark a chance or just let it go man. Choosing to have a different style than you and the PH's you hunt with, certainly does not make the man any less of a hunter or sportsman than yourself or others. We all know Mark does it differently than most, so why do we keep beating this dead horse for crying out loud???? How about we all focus this effort on helping to find the lost PH (who in my opinion if the story is exactly as has been reported - was taken by a croc) or devote this time/effort to some productive form of wildlife conservation? Cause this MS crap is just beyond silly! Mark is a friend, an exceptionally nice and personable guy. Would I do it like him, NO! But good heavens, he's not frying babies at the stake - so can we just get over it already? Let him do it his way, you do it yours, and lets all try to remember that we are on the same team here. All of us (me included) are guilty of losing sight of that - and its doing our cause nothing but harm. | |||

He could be the nicest man on earth. What HE wants people to know him by with his videos and public announcements defies comprehension that all the gears are actually functioning between his ears.

You can try to wriggle out as much as you like. The fact is you posted a hunt offer, supposedly with THE LEGENDARY MARK SULLIVAN! When members called you on it, it turns out he was only a tag along observer. The hunt is being conducted by another professional hunter. If this was not bad enough, it was going to be of an ear tagged, farm bred buffalo that probably has a pet name too. How rediculous can it be?? Don't post offers here and expect no one to pay attention to the fact that your offer stinks. | |||

Or, Saeed, just book a hunt with him in TZ and see if it's all BS. If you shoot well, and I am willing to bet you do, he won't get the chance to shoot for you. Guns and hunting | |||
