(17)- PH gored byCape Buffalo, earlier mauled by a lion
From BwanaMitch from Tanzania:
Just heard that PH Rolf Rowher was gored by a buffalo in the Selous yesterday afternoon. He has been evacuated to South Africa. Don't have much details but apparently got a horn up his thigh and main injuries are to his legs.
Rohwer was mauled by a lion several years ago. He shot the lion with a .458 Win. Mag. using a 500 grain Federal Trophy Bonded Bear Claw bullet as it charged him. His bullet struck the lion in the chest, but did not stop the lion's charge. So, the lion pounced on Rohwer and gave him a good going over before finally crawling off and dying.
