How are you doing Bossie? Any long term effects or are you back to normal.

I am well thank you, still have 2 broken ribs that are not healing up, recently got a pacemaker and going in for a hernia repair next year.
Otherwise I am well and grateful to be alive.

Ouch. Tough luck for Mike. Hoping he heals quick.

Really hate to see PH's getting beat up like that. Fortunately, it didnt turn out worse. Hair raising experience for sure.

Hope's for a speedy recovery, Gent's.

Sounds like normal getting old.

Glad you are doing as well as you are. Don't get in anymore scrapes with a buffalo.

Hope he has a full recovery. There seem to be a lot of unprovoked charges in Tanzania.

If I recall Mike is Jim Shockey's go to PH when in Africa.

Hope he has a full recovery, he is a tough guy.

Very sad to hear, I follow his posting on several forums. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Sending my prayers heavenwards; this reinforces the risks hunters, and in particular P/Hs face out there; be careful folks ...

 

[Randy F]

Godspeed in recovery

 

[R.M.C.]

Dang, I hope he recovers quickly and without permanent damage. I saw him on an old DVD I had about hunting in Africa. I think he guided Jim shockey on an elephant hunt and had to put a young bull down after it charged. Its images like that, that put Africa on my bucket list.

Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Never hunted with Michael but we returned on the same flight from Ethiopia in Oct of 2020. I sat near the hunter he guided who shot a proper, proper elephant. Meet him briefly as we cleared guns in dc. Heck of a PH and wish him a speedy recovery.
