snowymthunterWayne Clark - RIP
My sincere condolences and prayers go out to Cathy and the rest of Wayne's family and friends.
I had the privilege of hunting with Wayne in Lobo in 2006 and we have kept in touch since. Wayne and I shared an epic hunting adventure including snakes and flash floods that I will never forget. Thank you Wayne for those memories. He was a fantastic PH, a chef, an entrepreneur, and an all-around gentlemen.
You will be missed my friend. God Bless. Brian

Do we know how he met his untimely death? Was it via dangerous game or some accident or both? Rumors are just that...

El JueroOur prayers and condolences. We have spent time with Wayne and he has been over to our home. We have taken him out dancing country and western here in San Antonio and he was a hoot to be with. We will think of him.

MacD37MAN! This has been a tough year!

People do not realize how dangerous a PH's job is! Clients just take it for granted that he can protect the whole party no matter what happens. The PH needs protection as well, and that may fall in the lap of the client, so be alert!
R.I.P. Wayne!

dande_jackIt is so sad that these good people have to die, I guess that is what makes it Dangerous Game. It is sad another PH Owain Lewis was killed a couple of weeks ago by a buff in Zim as well. Jack

Bill/OregonWhat an awful shame. Sounds like he was a fine guy. If there is a lesson to be paid for at such great price, I hope we can learn from it after the details emerge. Meantime, back to Dave Fulson's comment. What are Wayne's family's needs and how might they be met?

Wayne is due back in Bulawayo by charter in a couple of hours.
He is with good friends and was when he passed.
I just heard the terrible news and am at a loss for words. I will truly miss Wayne and his friendship.
My two trips to Africa were both with Wayne. Goodbye friend you will be missed.

LionHunterI would think that by now some details of the tragic event might be available. After the grief, these incidents should be viewed as a learning opportunity. We call them after action reports and they are conducted after every critical incident. Hopefully someone with knowledge will post the circumstances, so that we all may learn from it.
Thanks in advance.
Mike

Bill/OregonLionhunter, I believe some details will be posted Monday or Tuesday, and information on how we can all help. I agree, sometimes there is a lesson, and sometimes it is just the luck of life. God make his face to shine on the family ...
