Mark and the client shoot at the same time in this vid and the client stood firm. Clients often shoot first, esp on these hippos.

Mark accepts the risk. Those of you who'd like to see him get killed will likely have to wait a long time. Few can do what he does, year in year out.

As stated, these animals are bought and paid for by the client. Clients are not promised any charge, in fact most of his clients are not charged.

PETA and the like hate anybody killing any animal any way. I don't think they alone will get hunting in Africa banned in our lifetime. In fact I predict that Kenya will come back. The vids are not good for PR.

Mark does go on a bit, repeating himself, his routine. This bugs me a bit, mostly due to having alot of his vids.

There are many lessons to be learned from watching his videos, learned from what's done right and wrong.

He's a snob about British Double Rifles.

On camera he says to bring enough gun. If he doesn't know you he'll tell you to bring something milder, 375 or 450/400 and shoot it WELL.

He finds nice trophies.

He's a little expensive, but not the most. He doesn't require a huge deposit.

His book is very good.
