In memoriam - Zimbabwe Professional Hunter killed by enraged buffalo

Wow...sad and tragic. Now I'm concerned about my friends in Zim!
 
prayers!
 
Very sad. Condolences to family and friends.
 
RIP.....
Such a loss that didn't need to happen except for the poacher. Prayers for the family.......

A reasonable period of time has passed

Mr. Digby Bristow
 
May God/Allah grant him peace in the afterlife. I can't imagine what his poor family must be going through. To lose a loved one (probably one of the main bread earners of the family) on Christmas time... of all times.

The poacher is the real culprit here. Not the unfortunate white hunter or the poor animal. That criminal should be strapped to a baobab tree trunk and thrown straight into the river, alive.
 
Very sad news, RIP.
 
I believe family was there when it happened and when he passed away 15 min later. At least he was with people he loved when he passed.

That's so tragic, but yes, at least he was with family.
That POS poacher will answer for this when he meets his Maker.

Prayers for his family and loved ones.

Va avec Dieu, Chasseur!
 
Very sad news, condolences to the family
 
Very tragic, I will be praying for the family, and for Zimbabwe to become a place where poaching is something only found in history books.
 
Very tragic news, so sorry for the family. Will keep them in my prayers, may he rest in peace.

His wife Vannesa Bristow narrated events leading to her husband's death.

“We arrived at 18:30 hours and he went straight to where the buffalo was but it charged at him. He tried to shoot it, but missed and it took him down,” she said.

"It happened so fast we were 30 metres from him and the injured animal pinned him down and kept pounding him. He tried to crawl out of its grip but a lot of damage had been done. He succumbed to the injuries some minutes later when we took him to safety.”
 
Prayers for the family during these difficult times...
 
Our condolences to his family and friends...

Hi Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
