Professional Hunter Michael Fell Wounded by Buffalo

[gre493]

Earlier today I received the bad news that professional hunter and good friend Michael Fell had been gored by a Buffalo in Maswa North Game Reserve. Although they were hunting Buffalo, I've not confirmed whether the Buffalo that attacked him was wounded or charged unprovoked.

The Buffalo gored him high in his left thigh near the groin and narrowly missed his femoral artery. They managed to kill the Buffalo on the spot where he had pinned Mike against a log. The client and the rest of the crew are unharmed. Mike is doing well and is currently in Nairobi undergoing treatment and awaiting surgery.

Please put him in your prayers. I shall post more details as I get them.

Unlucky to get gored but very lucky it didn’t hit the artery.
