Very Sad news folks. Just seen messages from other WA groups as well as notification from the ZPGA, Phil has passed away last night. Prayers go out for Leah Smythe, their two girls and a baby on the way... MHSRIP!

Terrible news - which makes me very sad ...
My sincerest condolences to his family and friends.
I have arranged a buffalo hunt with him for 2022 - should be my first ...
I am so grateful to Phil for his help, advice and the pleasant communication. It was his attitude (see video) that made me go hunting with him.
Unfortunately I wasn't allowed to get to know Phil personally, but I'll still remember him at anyway!

Rest in peace - Weidmannsheil!!!
