Wounded fox shoots hunter in leg

London, Jan 14 (ANI): A hunter in Belarus was shot in the leg by a fox that he had wounded and was trying to kill.

The man was trying to finish the animal off with the butt of his rifle, but as the pair struggled the fox got its paw on the trigger of the gun and fired a shot.

Prosecutors from the Grodno region said the unnamed hunter ended up in hospital with a leg wound.

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