Jaco so sorry to hear of this bad news hope your friend is doing well Prayers going up for him.
 
I am sorry to hear of this Jaco. Sending prayers for Reinhard.
 
He got out of theater 11:30 pm last night all went well and he will recover, I have not been able to speak to him myself obviously ;) but thanks to everyone here for your support and prayers it helped for sure!

We have a couple other friends that were vitally instrumental and will thank them in due time...

Once again thank you all AH members.
 
Good news Jaco.
 
Darn glad to hear that he will recover. Hopefully no long lasting injuries, and just some battle scars at the most.

Best wishes!
 
Good to hear!!! Will continue to pray for a speedy recovery.
 
Jaco, It's a great relief to hear, thanks for letting us know… I was thinking of him all day. That's great news.
 
Great news he will recover. Wow scary situation.

Eishh Jaco, glad he is ok!

To be honest i had some narrow escapes myself back in the day, now a days i do amateur camerawork and mostly backup PH work.

Probably not the right time to ask...and if you have some time...where did it happened, would like to hear the story...

Good luck!
 
Great news Jaco! Now that you know that Reinhard will be ok, please let us know the details of what happened whenever you get a chance.
 
Ok went into theater again for additional drainage pipes to be inserted the doctor reckons recovery time will be 5 - 6 months...

I can already imagine his frustration by not being able to hunt.

My best always
 
Great news Jaco !

By the way, I met Reinhard at the Madrid hunting fair, two, maybe three years back.
 
Good news he will recover, better news if there are no lasting effects other than boredom and frustration. Best of luck

Glad the docs are on top of the infection.

Hunting will be good motivation to promote recovery.
Hope he can muster some patience though.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
