"Wasn't it mentioned sometime previously that a PH was presumably killed due to a safety mixup? "

I think I have read in the past that both PH's and CLIENTS have died due to the above.

As a general rule, I TRY to always hunt DG with a Mauser 98 type gun - partly for the Extraction/ M98 issues but also because IF I do use the safety, it is the same on all guns.

However, said that, when doing some culling / moving buff on a station up in North Australia and the COW decided to turn and charge (unwounded), I was carrying a Stainless Steel, 6x Scoped Ruger in 338 Win Mag - A gun I had more had in case a shot was needed as opposed to hunting.

It was a good example why I DON'T use Safeties in the bush with potentially DG. She turned "on a dime" while running away and came straight at me and I got down and waited BUT
1 less thing to worry about !!!
