    Affordable Hippo Hunt in South Africa?

    I hunted with Bayly-Sippel and they are a great company. I know that they have done land-based hippo hunts in the recent past. It's a good place to start. BTW - other than being a happy client, I have no affiliation with or financial interest in Bayly-Sippel.

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    This thread is living proof...Mark Sullivan is a great marketer... In all seriousness, I was neutral on Sullivan until I saw the Cal Pappas video. Mark is a genuine person. Even when consoling a client who just missed his dream shot at a buffalo, Mark immediately talks about the experience...

    What are your Tips & Must Haves - 2nd Safari - Namibia

    It's becoming a common theme but - quadpods. My other suggestion would be to make time for the birds - bird watching, bird photograph and/or bird hunting. Photograph the Southern Cross.

    Big Beautiful Bill

    I actually think that's the genesis for Lee adding the land sale provision in the BBB. "Checkerboarding" public and private land in the west was a way to give surrounding land owners exclusive rights to hunt public land but not have to pay property taxes or buy the land in the first place. It...

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    You completely missed my well-stated point. The point wasn't that I agree with him. I said as much. The point was that he openly and honestly says why he does what he does.

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    Sullivan literally explains this just about every time he does it. It's always something to the effect to "let the buffalo choose how it's going to die." His style isn't necessarily my cup of tea, but he's as open and honest as anyone.

    Best hunting movies Africa or otherwise

    Haha - me too. I was being a little tongue-in-cheek with my list. The Troll Hunter was almost a comedy but it does portray hunters and not in a terribly bad light. The Clint Eastwood movie is 100% Africa but horribly frustrating. I should have included "Savannah" which is 100% about duck...

    Rifle/ammo failure on Elephant

    Although it didn't go as well as it could have, it is still a way, way better death for the elephant than anything "natural" unless it got hit by a meteor or fell off of a high, rocky cliff...

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    Gun hunting a Buffalo with Mark Sullivan is like bow hunting a buffalo with anyone else...there's a darn good chance that your PH is going to shoot your buffalo at least twice...

    Mark Sullivan the Expose’

    In his Heym video, Sullivan clearly says that less than 5% of wounded buffalo will charge. I would love to go on a buffalo hunt with Mark Sullivan but I would have completely different expectations than if I buffalo hunted with anyone else. Like Sullivan says, if someone calls BS on him, he...

    Croc hide arrived- need help with where to send it for tanning

    Agree - I'd certainly focus on the Florida and maybe Georgia tanneries just because they all have massive experiences with alligators.

    Shooting vs Hunting / A Growing Ethical Issue

    I completely understand your view point so I really can't argue with it. I gun hunt whitetail with a 1.5x to 5x scope and a gun that can't shoot much beyond 150 yards. At some point, without the 600 yard gun "hunter" to defend me, the antis will eventually come for me, the guy that gun...
