Bad year to be a PH in Africa! I'll be praying for a full recovery.

I know Tim Herald and have been in hunting camp with him. He's a good guy and has to be hurting emotionally over this.

Added to my prayer list for certain. I enjoy Tim's outings and most of his tv shows and he appears to be a genuine guy not that that really matters in a case like this. I know Tim will stay in touch and keep us all informed as to the fund raiser, Stu's recovery, etc.

I'm sure he's a great guy but I wouldn't want to hunt with him.

Yeah this is a bad situation. I'm good friends with Tim and have known and hunted with him for years. Both of my African trips were with Tim. He is in a world of hurt right now.
Stu is doing well given the circumstances. Tim is of course fine physically but he is not doing well emotionally as anyone of us would be. I assure you he is one of the good guys in this sport and profession of hunting though. He is not a careless or unsafe hunter or shooter. There is something we can all learn and take from this and I know Tim would want everybody to learn from it.
As JB says, he is a good guy and humble and he is quite the sportsman not a flash in the pan guy that you see sometimes in this industry. He has a masters degree in wildlife biology as well. Not that any of that matters in this situation.
The fact that he came on the web right away and told his story should give you an indication of the kind of guy he is.
I am of course biased but please just be thinking about and praying for all those involved.

I am a professional pilot by trade, the Idea that a pilot is arrested for doing an evac flight . What bull dung. Granted if the pilot was willing and able, then it rests with him and no body else. Yea I know but there was no lights on the runway, well there is wood and guys know how to build a fire! Its a no brainer, the only thing that wold stop me from going is not enough visibility and or fuel to get to the where the hospital is. Having flown in bush conditions for most of my career, nobody ever attempted to arrest me for doing my job as I saw it. And I got lots of night and no light run ways and even more no runway at all time.

I admire your courage and tenacity....and I would feel the same way if I were the pilot or victim. But I saw things while I was in Africa that made me shake my head and wonder about some folks intelligence and sanity.

An update from Tim.
"quick update from JNB. I went to see Stu today, and he is doing very well, he is tough as nails. He promised he would be back in camp in October, if not hunting, he will be tending bar! Obviously good spirits, and we have already planned to continue our lion hunt August 1 next year. He will have a tough 2-3 weeks with his shoulder, but the prognosis is very good, and we expect a great recovery. Still praying for him and appreciate any of you who do the same.
Good Hunting,
Tim Herald"
Says alot that Stu still want to hunt with Tim.

From what I have read on AR it was the absolute definition of a freak accident and was not poor gun handling or carelessness. I do believe it was a confluence of events and could have truly happened to anyone. I really hate it for all involved. I don't know Tim personally but from what I have read about him and the way he has handled this situation I would nlt hesitate to hunt with him.
