On a few common plainsgame animals, yes we did. That's been the case on every safari I've ever been on, with Sullivan and everyone else. Sometimes you don't have time to bail out of the rig for a proper stalk, and that's just the way it is. Everybody knows that to be the case, but a lot of hunters don't care to admit it. They'd rather sweep that reality under the rug and let everyone think that they only do 100 % "proper" stalks, all of the time, but such is almost never the case ALL the time.

But I'll also add this: I've spent far, far more time doing "proper" stalks -- hunting on foot and in blinds -- with Mark Sullivan and John Sharp than I have any other professional hunters. In terms of real hunting and real "ethics", those two men are the very best I've ever hunted with by far. The idea of ever shooting dangerous game from the rig with either one of them would be totally unthinkable, and would never happen.............
