MOSCOW (Reuters) – A wounded fox shot its would be killer in Belarus by pulling the trigger on the hunter's gun as the pair scuffled after the man tried to finish the animal off with the butt of the rifle, media said Thursday.

The unnamed hunter, who had approached the fox after wounding it from a distance, was in hospital with a leg wound, while the fox made its escape, media said, citing prosecutors from the Grodno region.

"The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw," one prosecutor was quoted as saying.

Fox-hunting is popular in the picturesque farming region of northwestern Belarus which borders Poland.

Missing a lot of details like the guys name, how badly he was wounded, and how they were able to determine this actually happened. Not to say it couldn't happen, but maybe the guy was too embarrassed to admit he shot himself hunting?

Would be interesting to see more reporting on it. Would also like to know what kind of gun he was using to manage getting behind the barrel.

Good hunting story back at the lodge though.

That's what I think.

Or he's covering for a friend who shot him. Cheney was able to get the guy that he shot to apologize to him. :D

I have read many stories where hunters either shoot themself, or a hunting companion, while going over a fence with a loaded weapon......

Remember that the vice president once shoot someone that way.
