I hope he has a speedy recovery. He sounds tough as nails, the fact he was able to stand up and walk is promising.

A South African hunter was killed by a Buffalo on a hunt in July here in SA.

Praying for a full recovery AND a period of many many years without any more injuries for him.

Latest update is he is now out of ICU and in private room. Infection is still the main enemy. Thanks for the kind words and support.
After his last accident I was his first hunt back (leopard) and I couldn't keep up with him....Maybe I will be able to now....

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.
