Wayne Clark, whom I have never met before, met his untimely death yesterday, at the hands of a buffalo whilst guiding a hunt in Lolkisale area.

I do not have details of the incident, other than he was unconcscious when help reached him and passed away en route to Hospital.

If I get any further accurate detail, I shall post these. If any one else has accurate details pls post them.

Pls keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.

Prayers sent

Same person....... but was hunting for Harpreet at the time of the incident.

So sorry to hear the bad news about Wayne ,my condolences to family and friends....

This is terrible news.

Our prayers go to all his family.

My condolences to his family....

We're only just halfway through the year and this is already the worst that I can recall.

Be careful out there guys!

Uhhh- not what you want to read first thing. I hate this for him and his family. They have our prayers...

A PH I would been happy to hunt with. Terrible news.

What a loss.

Very sorry to here this, condolences.

i am at a complete loss for words. I have hunted with Wayne 4 times, most recently in May hunting elephant in Zim. He was my friend and I simply don't know what to say. If anyone gets news of arrangements please post it. I have sent his wife Cathy a note offering any help.

It feels terrible when someone you know passes, especially someone so young with so much to live for. RIP Wayne, may we meet again one day.

Man, its been a tough year for the pros. Thoughts and prayers to his family.

Prayers sent to family, friends and colleagues!

Wayne and his entire family are great friends,

Wayne was a great hunter, and one hell of a man,

I will miss a lot ....God rest your soul, your

friend, Butch

Although I never met the man, my sincere condolences go out to his friends and family. It has been a hard year for the PH's.

We got the call yesterday and were, as you can imagine, unbelievably saddened by the sudden loss of yet another friend. We have filmed with Wayne many times and we are actually editing a Tracks episode featuring Wayne as the PH. Just seems impossible at the moment, a feeling we have had all to often this terrible season. I called Ivan yesterday and told him, and as Wayne is a buddy he was understandably torn up. He knows the game, as did Wayne, and all of our combined PH friends, and we should all stop to think of what these good men do to help us enjoy days afield in Africa. We should continue to try to help his family with prayers, emails, and financial support. Lets figure out how to help Wayne's family. A terrible loss men.

What a shame!

Another sad day!

Very sorry to hear this, we would see him at the SCI Convention. Another good man lost. Prayers go out to his family.

Sad, sad news. I hate hearing this. My prayers to the family.

We heard the news from Harpreet yesterday. Jamie, Steve and I all knew Wayne and are much saddened by the tragic news. Wayne will certainly be missed as a great PH and just a good guy.

A very sad loss, but at least he was out doing what he loved when his time came.

We will have a piece on this tomorrow on DSC Daily.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

This is tragic news. My prayers go out to his family and close friends.

You will be missed my friend.

Very tragic news! Puts our lives into perspective, and reminds us of the fragility of life.

My condolences, I knew of him but I did not know him personally and I can't place a face if he was ever on one of the shows. jorge

Shame. RIP.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A PICTURE OF WAYNE?

My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

What sad news. Wayne was certainly one of the finest in this industry, a real gentleman. I was fortunate to get to know him from his early apprenticeship years, learning his trade from Clive Lennox.

My sympathies, thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and family.

To have shared a life in the wilds of Africa, and in the areas he was so passionate about is a blessing. RIP young man.

Such a Shame. Our condolences.

My deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Wayne Clark. Truly a tragic loss !

Oh My God, I am sick to my stomach. What is happening in Africa
He was a fine man and a great PH, I enjoyed our time together. So sad for Cathy.
Danm!

Wayne had conducted two hunts for us this season in Matetsi and was scheduled to do another one for us in August. Clients always returned with high praises for his professionalism as well as his warm personality. I am leaving on Sunday for Zimbabwe and was planning on visiting with him during the visit. Our prayers and condolences to his family.

This is very sad and tragic news. I also knew Wayne and along with my partner, hunted with him in Lobo in 2006. We'd kept in touch briefly through the years. He was a fine man and a pleasure to be around.

My condolences to his family and prayers for their comfort. It is very very sobering.
