Is that what you call Soviet irony? At any rate that's gotta be a one in a million occurrence.

Ouch.
I guess the moral is, guns are guns and clubs are clubs, and maybe it's best to know the difference.

How do you lose a close quarters fight with a canine that's got like a fifth of your mass? Just kick the silly thing.

Foxes are mean little bastards. You get in a fight with one of those and you better know what you're doing.

Stories of animals accidentally triggering firearms and shooting people have been around for a long time. They're unusual but hardly shocking. There's a story in the Darwin Awards about a man shot by his dog in a similar manner. One is forced to wonder about the intelligence of the hunter who tries to beat a fox with the butt of a loaded rifle.

Why he didn't shoot it first is beyond me.
With cannon shot and gun blast smash the alien. With laser beam and searing plasma scatter the alien to the stars.

^ Out of bullets? Jam? There's a thousand reasons to legitimately use a rifle to strike at a fox like a club.
This guy apparently didn't have one of them.

Supposedly he did shoot the fox, and it was wounded, but then he closed in with the rifle butt to finish it off. Not the smartest move.

Heh, I was wondering how long it'd take someone to say that.

That's the third time that joke was made in this thread already...

I'll bet that image took someone about 5 minutes in Photoshop. Or a fair bit of time collecting and posing animal corpses.

I have no idea, I didn't upload it. I think it's Gelzo's.

If the fox could shoot him, there was evidently at least one round left in the rifle. There should have been one more round in the fox.
I still say this should have been as easy as kneeling on the little fucker and crushing him to death.

This would be a better story if I could convince myself that the fox isn't dead by now due to the initial wound.
In Soviet Russia, old joke is old. I've seen a ton of "dog steps on trigger and shoots hunter" news reports, so I'm mildly amused.
If this was a Wolf, it'd be PERFECT
Half-Life: Dual Nature, a crossover story of reasonably sized proportions.
This actually reminds me a saying: "When a dog bites a man, that is not news. But when a man bites a dog, that is news."
Currently taking a break from the site. See my user page for more information.
The reason why the hunter would club the fox instead of simply shooting it again, is because fox fur isn't quite as valuable when there is a smoking hole in it.
and I lol'ed.

Look, you can't make me speak in a logical, coherent, intelligent bananna.

The incident in question happened in Belarus, as if we needed further evidence of Russia's influence in that neck of the woods.
