American Hunter Killed in Uganda

[IvW]

Interesting that men who think they have the courage to hunt dangerous game have to run and hide behind the "ignore" button.

I'm glad you decided to stay. Not sure the forum could have survived without you.

AH......

@WAB brings up a good point about helping people, I know people have posted links to gofundme.com before and curious is there is a likewise collection point/system that's active?

Also I know DSC has the Front Line Foundation

DSC Frontline Foundation –

www.dscfrontlinefoundation.org

Do we know if anyone has initiated a report/claim?.... The PH's family may not even know this exists.

Great suggestion @deewayne2003

DSC Frontline Foundation is the best option to support the injured PH and family. This is what it was created for.

I reached out to some friends that are involved in the DSCFF. They are aware and reviewing. Mini and family are likely already aware of DSCFF as his safari outfit has worked closely with DSC in the past. DSCFF reaches out to folks either way. Love that they are proactive when tragedy strikes.

I've read every one of the posts on this threat, and it amazes me how so many on this forum are so insensitive to what happened here. One US hunter is dead, and one fine PH is injured, and all you can do is speculate on what happened. It's easy to ASSume and play chair quarterback from the comfort of your desk or phone. If that is what you want to do, start another thread and respect the fact that this is tragic, and families are grieving.

Agreed and well said.

It’s honestly embarrassing and a pretty sad insight into some members. Imagine one of our children or family members reading all this had this tragedy struck our families.

I take no issue learning from mistakes of myself and others, particularly if it keeps someone safer. I encourage it. However there is a way to achieve that with some dignity, respect, and grace toward those involved as opposed for feeding our own selfish needs to be “right” or “ the smartest guy in the room”.

I’d also add please remember that this is a public forum and likely when we discuss individuals by name repeatedly out in the ether of the inter web it ends up being at the very top of any searches for that name. Just a thought that occurred to me.
