A hunter became the hunted after a fox managed to shoot him with his own gun.
The stricken animal somehow pulled the trigger of the man’s shotgun with its paw, hitting him in the leg.
The bizarre incident happened as the unnamed 40-year-old hunter tried to kill the fox with the butt of his gun after shooting it from a distance.
The fox made its escape while friends took the injured man to hospital.
‘The animal fiercely resisted and in the struggle accidentally pulled the trigger with its paw,’ said a police officer called to the scene in the Grodno region of Belarus.
Fox hunting is popular in the picturesque farming region in the north-west of the country, close to the border with Poland.
The hunter, who asked for his name to be withheld to save his embarrassment, was still in hospital yesterday.
One official said: ‘I have never heard of anything like this before. ‘The hunter couldn’t believe it either. He was in shock.’
Foxes are not protected in Belarus because they transmit rabies.
The region is also a popular destination for hunters of elk, wild boar and even wolves. But from now on, they may not want to get too close to the animals they are stalking.

Outfoxed …. ! New definition
We should start arming all the animals so they have a fighting chance against those “sporting ” hunters!
“Outfoxed” — good one!
Yea! One for the fox. A bear and a fox have scored one in the past week.
Good boy! I don’t think it was an accident. Morons are global.
Sport the Right to Arm Foxes!!
I support that!
Sweet Justice (Karma)! If only this sort of thing didn’t happen more often…sigh..

Instant karma! Just hope the fox is okay. Speaking of arming animals, have you seen this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62ZJgVQT2gQ
