A rabbit hunter died after being shot in the head when his shotgun trigger snagged on the zip of his boot, an inquest has heard.
Father-of-two Carl Rubisch, 30, died of a single gunshot wound after the gun fired as he got out of a Land Rover to shoot a rabbit.
He and friend Stuart Forrest, 30, were on an organised night-time shooting trip on farmland near Brockton, Shropshire, when the tragedy happened.
Mr. Forrest told the inquest he turned the lights off on his Land Rover before using a powerful torch after spotting a rabbit 80 yards away.

Don’t laugh.
I’m trying not too. It’s not easy! 😀
Lucky bunny
so sorry…I mean sorry because it didn’t happen years ago. Now the question is: red or white wine?
Hahahha I love Karma and great pic you got there!!
Maybe the rabbit jumped up and ate his carrot…
Karma’s a b*tch.
oh well. dangers of the game.
Too bad really! No sympathy from moi! 😉
Love the picture Jim! Score for the Rabbit who was minding her own business and will live to take of her babies that would have otherwise been left to die….I wonder if that ever enters these scumbags conscience??? Of course they would have to have one, and obviously they don’t or they would find a hobby that didn’t involve murdering innocent animals.
Can’t say I’m sorry for the hunter – shucks! The Rabbit though seems to be an albino with red eyes which I think are domestic.
;*)
Poor 2 kids though; cruel doofus dad killed himself out on a rabbit-killing escapade. If he’d respected innocent life, his kids & “soul mate”(?), as it says in the longer article, would still have him. Anyone else wonder if this was made to look like an accident by his buddy?…”shotgun trigger snagged on the zip of his boot”?? …I try to picture that but cannot, maybe it’s just me
It does sound very suspicious. But I pictured Elmer Fudd, and Bugs Bunny on the ground holding his stomach and having a good belly laugh !
Laura you underestimate the stupidity of an average hunter. They shoot themseves in foot all the time (just google it). This time it wasn’t a foot. Lets hope his kids will be raised by a better person…
Well there’s another one down. Now how many more to go?
Just desserts and one less hunter

Yep, Instant Karma for that one.
Happy for the bunny!
