Hunter Shot to Death By a Fox, Belgrade, Associated Press

similar stories in the darwin archives but none by this animal...

A fox shot and killed a 38-year-old hunter in central Yugoslavia, the official Yugoslav news agency Tanjug reported yesterday.

Salih Hajdur, a farmer from the village of Gornje Hrasno in the Republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina, went to a nearby forest Sunday to shoot a fox, Tanjug said.

Hajdur wounded a fox in the leg, the agency said, but *to spare the skin* he did not fire again. Instead, he hit the animal with his refle butt. The struggling animal triggered a shot that hit Hajdur in the chest and killed him instantly, Tanjug said. The fox died later, Tanjug added.

Neutral: Darwin Award
Attempting to beat the animal to death with a loaded weapon held by the barrel? Sounds like a winner to me.

I agree with Jack; a hunter should know better.

I'll side with Jack. This is of the same... calibre... as the guy using a loaded weapon as a walking stick. Pointing a gun at yourself is stupid. Hitting something with it, thus joggling the trigger mechamism, makes it Darwin-grade. And the fact that the guy had just disharged one barrel, so he knew it was loaded, is the final touch.
