Hunting abroad when Shit Hits The Fan

[mark-hunter]

If shit hits the fan also covers major surgery injury on the very first day then yes with the following. On the first day of a 17 day hunt 10 with D&Y in Zim and 7 in SA on my first morning at D&Y in the dark i tripped over a short wall, no alcohol involved, and tore the tendon off the bone on my left triceps. My surgin when I got home called me an idiot since I should have immediately flown home to reattach but hey…I was in Africa and could still lift my rifle to my shoulder but that was it so I stayed. The result was instead of a 2 inch scar I now have an 11 inch scar

Purple star of safari hunters. I admire your courage! Congrats!

There's a very famous English gun maker (known by practically everybody on these forums) who went to India AFTER the 1972 hunting ban and hunted gaur there. Faced some legal trouble later on.

I heard references to this several times. For those of us who haven’t been around as long would you please share? I’ve searched for a hunt report but haven’t found it.

Glad you toughed it out!

You were there with me!!! Thank the good Lord you had baggies for ice to reduce the swelling that trip while you took that nice hippo and great leopard with York!

Never been cought in anything while hunting. (Having a rifle and ammo would make me happy as it saves having to source things locally.)

But spent alot of time in
In the middle east early/mid 2000s and
Ukraine between 2015-22

Not sure what your question is tho?
