The Mark Sullivan shots are interesting - eh? I've met both Mark and his son at SCI and have heard a few stories about him and how he gets some of those "real close" shots. Anything I'd say here would be hearsay, but suffice it to say, some of the shots are set up - ie, wound an animal, then egg it on until it charges.

My only close shot was on a Cape Buffalo in 1995. My fourth shot was at about 6 yards, but he already had three .416s in him and wasn't moving very fast. Still, it was exciting enough to where it still gives a thrill in 2007. It was a whole group more exciting than my elephant in '98. (Yup, I've got photos of both. I'll make avain glorious attempt to post them.)
