Man Suffocates in Rabbit Hole
New Zimbabwe ^ | 10/15/2010

Posted on 10/16/2010 3:21:21 PM PDT by nickcarraway

A HUNTER died after squeezing his head into a rabbit hole and suffocating. Energy Kamuruko was out tracking with dogs when he noticed a rabbit dart into a tunnel near the village of Mandipaka in Nyanga.

The 20-year-old peered inside but his head got stuck. His body was found the following day by a neighbour.

A postmortem confirmed he died on Sunday of asphyxiation.

It is the second hunting-related accidental death in recent months.

In August, Tamsen Lucius, 36, impaled himself on his own spear while chasing wild pigs. Police said he had climbed a tree to try and get a better angle with his weapon after tracking a herd of the animals in the bush.

But he died instantly after losing his footing and impaling himself through the chest.

Hunting remains common across rural parts of Zimbabwe, where many people continue to live traditional lifestyles.

Sounds dangerous and sorta stupid. Is there a club and a ping-list?

I am guessing these terrible accidents happened in the country formerly known as Rhodesia ....

Well that shows you not to follow the rabbit down the rabbit hole as this guy did. And Alice of course(when she was just small). As for the other guy seems just like understanding proper gun safety and handling like making sure before moving over a fence or something to secure your rifle/shotgun before crossing over the fence and other ways of not shooting yourself accidentley. And the impaling thing too. Poor devil, thats an awful way to die.

Proper tools make for a safe and fruitful hunting trip in a free society that flourishes financially.

I’m thinking that if you’re out hunting with dogs, THEY should be the ones sticking their heads down rabbit holes.

lolol

What’s worse?

Dying cause your stuck your stupid head in a rabbit hole, or dying while a rabbit laughed his ass off in your face?

Simmah dan naow!

She was 94. She’s dead. End of story.

My mother in law is 90+. Skeered to death of dying. Hates life.

God grant them both some peace.

Duh? What’re you? 12?

Wait a sec. Climbing into my fire-retardant Nomex. Okay, flame away.

Then smile.
