Mark Sullivan Video Death At My Feet - Reviewed and Ethics Evaluated

I watched Black Death and Use Enough Death and I learned a few things about different calibers, bullets and stopping power. As far as Mark Sullivan's ego, well I live in southern Alabama and we got some hunters down here with ego's as high as friggin Mt. Everest. I can live with that plus the man broke no laws which is more that I can say for the other hunters with big ego's. When Mark is gone we'll probably all realise that he wasn't such a bad guy after all. We can still learn something from him even if we don't like him. Just saying.
 
I doffs me lid to the bloke,one he can shoot and two he has nerves of steel and three he gets the job done.
The best are allowed to crow when they are the best.
There are many out there that say they can do it...but can they really?
 
The problem with the guy is well known. You don't even have to have inside information to see and understand it. In Black Death, near the beginning of his "career", he purposefully walks up to a wounded buff on the ground to stimulate a charge- the camera was ready and all was set. Only ONE reason to do that! Many who make their living (or massage their egos) by peddling stories or videos (or earlier film) have similar mentalities- MS isn't the only one. IIRC back in the 50s, Donald Ker quit participating, out of disgust, in similar escapades.

There’s a right way to go about it and a wrong way to go about it. Sullivan definitely lives in the wrong camp, in my opinion. The question isn’t whether what he does is legal, but whether what he does is ethical (after all, there are plenty of laws which allow actions some would consider very much unethical, abortion being a classic example).

Mark Sullivan gives us all a bad name. Seriously, his productions are rocket fuel for those who would lobby to end hunting.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Nice one there. I guided for mulies and elk for about 10 or so years in northern New Mexico.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
