One could observe that perhaps those who choose to hunt with MS have done so because they look for the gung ho in your face sort of experience either because they may have those tendencies themselves or maybe the opposite end of the spectrum, in need of a boost to their own self esteem. Of course those that choose to go hunt with Mark are not going to have anything but the highest praise for him, they would not go if not.

Nobody including myself would deny that MS does not have the skills to find and hunt animals, but like some I have meet over the years in my hunting travels, that style of in your face behaviour does not sit right with me and silly mannerisms such as trying to put a human side to a wounded animal in "giving them a choice as to how they want to die" puts me off a person bloody quick. As some have pointed out in the many posts about Mark, if he wants a human bravery side to his life and wants to live it on the edge then go to Afghanistan and say it to an armed Taliban fighter instead of goading a wounded animal in pain and fear into making a choice that it has no concept of.

Sure I have never met or spoken with the man, but the posturing stances, actions and words in the many photos and some video clips I've seen of Mark convinces me that I would be well out of my comfort zone with him. Just not my scene, never has been and never will.
