Christo Kaizer , died 10 May 2007 in Botswana. Attacked by an ele cow, he was mortally wouned and never made it to a hospital.

I'm sorry but it's old news not good news at all though.

It's been a bad year for trackers too.

RIP

Its a dangerous job, Alan Vincent and I had one a elephant cow a little close for comfort once-I would have been dead, both of our shots were poorly placed, she turned in the jess and came full blast, we needed double guns. After looking at where we hit her it was a mirical she fell down-6-7 paces infront of us, I was on my butt in a tree, tangled up, Alan was running like hell to get some time to get another shot when she fell, your playing for keeps out there,

My heart goes out to any PH that gets even hurt, its a tough job that dosent pay well so tip you PH.

God Bless the recent death.
