Bossie Mostert hurt by a wounded buffalo today

[Hogpatrol]

Cant someone ban this bushpig4ever? You sir don't belong here with the good folk who look out for one another. Bossie has been thru enough without your insensitive remarks. Now was not the time!

He does post some worthwhile items now and then but on the forums I subscribe to, he/she would have been banned/gone long ago.

Do I remember correctly, was there a fundraiser awhile back when they fell on hard times a few years ago? I do remember donating to some sort of cause for a PH in RSA. At any rate, will do the same again. This guy can't seem to get a break.

The question is, what’s your problem with that buffalo? You are living in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, there are no raiding comanches anymore nor dangerous buffalo. Quite a safe place to live.

However Africa can be dangerous and if one goes after one of the most dangerous animals on earth, well the outcome is incalculable. Soon I’ll be hunting buffalo, if I get hurt or killed, bad luck but so what, nobody forced me to book the hunt. Those who seek the danger can perish in it...

You know I'm not sure I've ever interacted with you here on AH. So this may be the first, I hate that it will be a negative. So far I've not seen one poster blame the buffalo. You're the only one talking about the buffalo being blamed. So I'm not quite sure what your issue is. Are you a poor reader or are you just trying to stir up shit and using this unfortunate event to do so? It sure is coming across to me and others like it's the latter, if so, a sure move of a dick.

@BRICKBURN, @AfricaHunting.com, place me in timeout if you need to.

I have never hunted buffalo, but hope to some day. If I ever do, my greatest fear would be getting my PH or others injured or worse by my poor performance. Not sure how one moves on from that.

Sincerely hoping that this man recovers fully and quickly.

I wish Bossie a speedy recovery !

Yes.... A tornado hit Bossie's house three or four years ago. We did a fundraiser for that.

I took the ignorant troll off of ignore for this thread thinking he might have actually said something nice. I won't ever make that mistake again.

Some people make the world a better place just by being in it.
Others make little or no positive contribution what so ever.
I refuse to waste time or emotional energy on those miserable, hateful souls who couldn't conjure up a positive thought if their lives depended on it. What a miserable existence it must be.

Thoughts and prayers for Bossie's speedy recovery. This man has endured more hardship in the last few years than many of us do in a lifetime. I hope he is back to hunting soon!

As a side note. After the tornado, Bossie worked the offseason's out of the country and away from his family for extended periods of time to help rebuild the family finances. It's not like he is lazy. Bossie works his butt off. He has just run into a timeline that would challenge Job.

I understand that @Bushpig4Ever post has elicited some strong feelings and reactions however I request that it does not devolved into swearing and name calling. If you want to express how disagreeable you found his post please find better ways, thank you.

On this note @BWH and I are in the process of setting up a fundraiser to help Bossie out. Give me a few days please and I will let everyone know the details.

Really appreciate the two of you putting this together.

This is an open question to everyone. DSC has their Frontline Foundation to help PH's and their families that are injured or killed. Does anyone know how this works or how to submit candidates?

SCI has a similar organization. Does anyone know how that works or how a person would become a candidate to receive funds from SCI?

For DSC at least the requirement for help is that the PH be a member of the local professional organization, in this case PHASA. I don't think Bossie is a member.... Def worth checking into though. I don't know anything about SCI's version.

The world breaks everyone, as Hemingway wrote. and afterward many are strong at the broken places, which I hope is true for this man, and for his family. Thanks for keeping us updated on this rough outcome. It could happen to anyone, anywhere.

Best wishes for a fast and full recovery, Bossie!

You must be a real bad-ass.

How long is your arm that you are able to pat yourself on the back like that??

Read what he had to say in post#241 in "Vintage Safari Pictures."

That must be his style.

 

[Brent in Az]

Tough deal, tangling with a wounded Buffalo. I hope his outcome is positive.

Ya I see.. I agree it can be tough to look at but it was common for the period. History can be cruel

Best wishes for Bossie and family and friends, and hope he has a full and speedy recovery.
