I pray for a speedy recovery!

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

All the best!

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

Possibly only VFR, visual flight rules, against IFR, instrument flight rules. Not enough Daylight left to make it to the hospital or not enough juice in the tanks.

F...sake if they could they would....Africa Zim......they did what they could to save him....

With Dave Winhall also having been killed by an elephant cow at Rifa on Wed 27th July this has been a bad few months for PH's.

Very sad. My sources indicate that it was an Elephant bull in musth....be that as it may it is a very sad incident for somebody guiding people on an educational outing to meet this fate....RIP...

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....
