21 days with Mark Sullivan

[Dhutson]

How old is this hunt ? Mark is using his Marcel Thys .600 Nitro Express sidelock ejector in the video… a rifle which he sold in 2007.

Who cares? It's the same guy.

I tried to watch this the other night and fell asleep. I’m not sure why I find it hard to watch mark Sullivan.

Because he talks more smack before 9 O'clock than most people do all day?

That could be it

On my PG hunt in RSA, Adansonia Safari's had a 100M "range" set up so you could verify zero on your files before the hunt. Shooting off a bench.

I've only been on here a short while and am far from being an expert on anything but the constant focus on Mark Sulivan in all these posts is unbelievable. I don't know the man but I like him for the same reason I like Donald Trump, he pisses off the establishment and could care less what anyone thinks. Quoting the most overused phrase today "he is living rent free in a lot of peoples minds on here". For those the seem to hate the man, the constant focus on him only adds to his reputation and feeds his ego.....just like Donald Trump. I have no actual opinion about the man but he sure does piss a lot of people for just being Mark Sulivan......and that makes me kinda like him in a devilish kinda way! To each their own though.

Thanks for the laugh.

“He pisses of the establishment”

Nah, he’s just a crappy PH

I've been watching this video when aired, but didn't make it to the end.

Stopped watching after bad luck with the leo baiting - I found baiting super-boring and hoped to see more action.

Video is way too long, but gives good hints on the kind of experience you could have hunting with Sullivan. Good or bad is up to you, surely is one of a kind.

Anyway I believe this is old footage. I've seen some recent photos of MS and the guy has definitely aged... it's been a while from his 90's wrestling style videotapes.

Brent, I stopped reading since all of the posts are repetitive, so I am wondering if you are happy with MS and did you enjoy your Safari??

That’s not him

 

[Shakka]

That’s not him

Oh ok. I didn't watch the video either, but I heard so much negativity about MS, I wanted to hear from someone who actually hunted with MS instead of comments from guys who never hunted with him

[mark-hunter]

Damn it, now we are back to square one!

So, did anybody here hunt with MS, and how was it?

 

[Miletic]

First question:
Would he agree to that?


2nd question:
What if running away buffalo is offering a shot, before disappearing in the bush, and you did not reload yet?


3rd question:
What about buffalo charge? Who shoots?


Answer to 2nd question can be the difference between paying for trophy, or paying for spilt blood only and lost animal.
This is critical question that needs to be clarified between client and PH.

3rd question is actually PH duty to stop the charge.
But in case of MS, he often provokes the charge. He also has his followers, and people who pay for this. Personally I dont need a charge.

Come on Mark, you know I would get along great with Sullivan. We both like a challenge and to take things a little more adrenaline

Yes, but Sullivan prefers proper calibers. Hmmmm...

Ha ha,I'll have to call him.
But before that, I'm going to call Bob 35 Whelen for help

What’s the difference? Hunters didn’t just get randomly assigned to hunt with Mark Sullivan. They sought him out to hunt with the “Legend.” Only a certain kind of personality does that. Just like the guy in video he’s excited to have Mark Sullivan shoot his animals on his hunt. There is no unbiased reports.

It seems that my post got your panties all in a knot. You are an excitable fella there, aren't you 375Fox? Sorry that I "triggered" you.

I hope that you are able to keep your cool if you ever hunt something like a Buffalo, or you might need a PH like MS to back you up.

Anyway....YES, I watched the same videos that you did, and I read all of the comments as well, so I was wondering if anyone here actually hunted with MS and if so, did they have a good time. Period. Initially, I thought that the video was the OPs video, so that's also why I asked him

I am neither defending nor criticizing MS, because I can care less about who a hunter decides to book his hunt with....it's his money and his experience. Obviously, there are many hunters out there who want to hunt with MS because he has been a PH for a long time, and guys are paying a ton of money to hunt Tanzania with him.

Personally, I wouldn't hunt with a PH who was going to put back up rounds into my Buffalo, but to each his own

I’m not the one who is triggered, but it appears either your reading skills are limited or you are confusing posts. There are two groups of hunters. There are the group that actively seek out Mark Sullivan to hunt with him that decided he’s the best already and there are the group that will never hunt with him. There is no in between. He’s not a staff PH just working for any company for someone to give an unbiased review.

What part of, "I was just asking if anyone here has hunted with MS, and if they did did they enjoy yourself" are you not understanding?

And you talk about MY reading comprehension skills?
