Mark Buchanan - Big Bore Productions
Mark graduated with a degree in finance from the University of San Diego and has worked in the banking industry ever since. He is an avid hunter, whether it is dangerous game in Africa, bird hunting in Mexico or prairie dogs in South Dakota. He enjoys hunting anytime, anyplace and anything. His passion for hunting began at an early age, and has continued to grow and evolve, as does his penchant for exploring. Mark quickly realized that traveling to remote hunting locations and meeting the local people add an important and unforgettable layer to the adventure.
Like many hunters, Mark was initially drawn to Africa by the writings of Capstick, Ruark and Hemminway. Later it was John Pondoro Taylor's book "African Rifles and Cartridges" that fuelded Mark's passion to not only hunt Africa, but to do so with classic African calibers and custom built rifles.
Mark is not a celebrity, not an outfitter, or firearm's expert, he's just a guy who simply enjoys hunting, shooting and the outdoors. Besides rifles, he has taught himself the art of photography and enjoys shooting with his camera as much as his rifles.
It was this combination that inspired Mark to venture into video productions. He created Big Bore Productions with the intent to fill a video niche for hunters who share his passion for hunting adventures combined with classic firearms and cartridges.
These are not "how to" or "instructional" videos. Big Bore Productions was not created to teach or show anyone how to hunt. The are videos documenting real hunts, up close and personal, with a focus on the rifles and cartridges, and the excitement that only this great sport can provide. |

“We have worn almost every hunting boot you could imagine and never had we put on a set of boots that felt so comfortable the very first time. Our Russell Moccasin boots are by far some of the BEST boots we have ever worn. We have tested them throughout all of North America and we never thought leather could be so waterproof! Thanks Russell for keeping us in the field when others don’t!”
