==========================================
NUMBER ONE:
We had talked about this kind of stuff a month or two ago, and the general concensus in our NA group (not shared by me) seemed to be that "that kind of stuff just don't happen" and "the PH is there, thus anyone can do it and there is no risk".
Just a little tidbit from an AccurateReloading.com poster:
"Heard this morning from the wife of a Zim PH that Keith Atcheson's wife, Niki, was gored by a wounded buffalo at Chirisa Safari Area. The incident occured this morning as they were following up a buffalo that was wounded yesterday. She was being flown out from Chirisa today. No word on the severity of her injuries. Thought everyone might like to know and to say a prayer for her return home."
