Yes, you're 100% right about hunting being nothing like battle or combat. But Mark alone isn't guilty of using words like this. At least once in their writings, the following authors have used words like "Battle, duel, foe, opponent, adversary, enemy, gladiatorial combat, showdown" to describe...

1. Heres’s where you compared hunting with a .375 bore to dueling a mortal with a rapier. Post in thread 'Of Rat Calibers, Elephant and Buffalo, In Witness Protection' https://www.africahunting.com/threa...ffalo-in-witness-protection.70909/post-961105 I take zero issue with your statements (I’ve...

Yes, he did. We showed it to him. But speaking up for him, is my choice and mine alone. He did the same for me when I was being attacked once. And I owe him that much. And yes, we Mark Sullivan supporters have one thing in common. We’re totally okay with how other people hunt. We encourage...

Mark has shot several elephant but faced only one charge (which he is honest enough to admit). At least one elephant hunt appeared on one of his DVDs although I’ll need to recheck in order to see which one. To put matters into perspective for those who’ve never hunted in Tanzania… elephant...

480Gr Hornady DGX Bonded. It will work on both the Cape buffalo and the leopard.

And the point still stands that NOT A SINGLE ONE of the charging hippopotamuses which he has shot... were wounded by Mark or his clients prior to the charge. Not one. If he exploited the quarry's natural habits in order to shoot it while charging... well, then while it's not everybody's cup of...

The .300 Winchester Magnum shooting 180Gr Nosler Partitions (and 200Gr in the case of the eland) is perfectly well suited for all of your plains game hunting purposes in Africa.

Why thank you so much, @gcbailey It is a condensed portion of a chapter from my autobiography. And never say “Never”. Tiger hunting just might end up getting relegalized in our part of the world once again someday. Granted, the antis (and media supporting their crazed & uneducated agendas) will...

Ah, yes. That great American sportsman, Reverend Harry Caldwell (author of “The Blue Tiger”). He employed a .22 Hi Power on one Indochinese tiger (loaded with the 70Gr Winchester Western soft nosed cartridge). He had made a stomach shot on a tiger while the great cat’s belly was filled with...

@Ruraldoc, were I absolutely unconstrained by factors such as budget or availability of ammunition, I’d highly recommend the .500/416 Nitro Express (400Gr bullets traveling at a velocity of 2330 FPS). The .375 Holland & Holland Magnum or even the 9.3x62mm Mauser are also perfectly adequate for...

Nice & clean. No living on the taxpayer’s hard earned pennies.

Now, if only Hornady did something to improve the jacket thickness of their Dangerous Game Solids !

A lot of Muzzle loaders (mostly locally made but also a few old English made & Belgian made ones which must have entered Africa during the 1800s) A lot of cut down 12 gauge shotguns (with hand loaded shells employing lead round balls) A few AK-47s A couple of Lee Enfields 2 CZ 550s in .375...

I’ve shot several Bengal bush boars with my 7x57mm Mauser and 175Gr bullets. Some of these animals can tip the 300LB scale. A .270 Winchester with the 150Gr Winchester Power Point factory load can also do it, provided that initial shot placement is extremely critical. For a stalk type hunt...

Hi, @Azklmsr Barring a couple of hippopotamus and Cape buffalo which I’ve shot with the .404 Jeffery, .600 Nitro Express and .458 Winchester Magnum… I’ve successfully been taking most of my African dangerous game over the years (so far) with the versatile .375 Holland & Holland Magnum. Barring...
