    Default South African Professional Hunter shot

    Louis Lategan (Melody safaris) was shot by one of his clients while hunting Busbuck a couple of days ago, the bullet passed through his arm and body, louis is doing well all of this considered and is strengthening in hospital.

    Thought I would let everyone know.

    Sad to hear. Too much of this lately. Good to hear he will be alright.

    Anyone know if he is related to Bennie Lategan? I hunted a bit on his place.
    The journey is the reward.
