I understand it was around Beitbridge in Zim. Buff is dead and Norman is in hospital in Harare...stable but gored in the chest and leg. I have photos but wouldn't post without permission. Prayers for a fast recovery.
 
@Frederik forwarded me an audio recording of Norman speaking after the events. It is quite a hair raising story and he is a very very lucky man to have survived. He should make a complete recovery however.
 
I'm not sure but I heard he was alone when it happened? Anyone have better info?
 
Me too want to hear and see the pictures via DM. Best wishes for full recovery to Norman

Spanish client made a frontal post shot good shot not good enough. The recording will tell the story properly

Very sad to hear. I wish him a speedy recovery.
 
Hope he has a speedy recovery.
 
Very glad that he’s going to recover in due time. It’s been a very rough year for PH’s this year, and a reminder of the responsibility we all Bear when hunting dangerous game.
 
Glad to hear he’s alive. I spoke to him earlier this year about some Elephant Hunts he was offering.

Did you enjoy your black powder buffalo hunt?
Any report about the hunt here on African Hunting .com?

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
