I wish Tollie a speedy recovery. This goes to show you can never let your guard down with a Buffalo; in the wilds or captive. From the Hunting Report: This month we have news of two incidents involving dangerous game. Right at press time, I learned that Tollie Jordan of Tollie's African Safaris was attacked by a Cape buffalo in South Africa on August 19. I received word of the incident from Tim Macmanus of Safaritime. The accident occurred on Jordan's buffalo breeding property in Somerset East in the Eastern Cape. The bull had escaped from the high-fenced facility and Jordan, his son Paul and a farmhand had just herded it back into the corral using a vehicle. They were closing the gate when the bull suddenly turned back and charged them. Paul and the farmhand managed to scramble over the fence in time to avoid the bull, but Jordan slipped as he climbed the fence. The bull threw him in the air three times and then pushed him into the ground and stomped him. After several attempts to distract the bull, Paul and the farmhand were finally able to drag Jordan to safety. Jordan was immediately taken to the hospital in Somerset East and then transferred to a hospital in Port Elizabeth. He underwent surgery and seemed to be in stable condition as this issue went to press.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......

I heard Tollie got rolled by a buff. Put a horn through his calf I believe. He's about half an hour from me. I believe he's doing much better.He has had a couple of rowdy Buff lately , this is not the first he's had to return or go an dart.

It could happen to any of us that hunt the DG. We should count our lucky stars. Glad he'll be ok. Could have turned out much worse. | |||

J, Cape or American Bison, there is NO such thing as a Tame buffalo. Having worked with American Buffalo/Bison for almost 20 years now, including two I hand raised, I don't trust those bastards any farther than I could pick one up and throw it. In conversations I have had with people that have worked with Capes, they are no different and possibly worse. Even the rocks don't last forever. | |||

There has been more farmers killed by holstein bulls then you would ever believe. Tame of wild a 2000lb. animal is something to deal with up close. Mike | |||

Any animal that out weighs you by a factor of 10 can kill you like a pest. | |||
