Never underestimate the power of old sayings. The hunter was outfoxed.

Hmmm. My early instruction was to unload the rifle and set it on the far side of the fence before crossing a fence. Don't use the rifle butt to break open rotten stumps. Never allow the barrel to point at ANYTHING I don't want to shoot (that includes me).

I would derive from that training that giving the coup de poing to a game animal probably shouldn't be done with a LOADED RIFLE. Perhaps a branch would work.

Maybe his dad wasn't such a jerk about training (thanks, dad!).

was in hospital with a leg wound,...

I'm sorry. I know it is the European way of saying it but it should read: "was in a hospital with a leg wound."

Anybody who ever gets shot by a game animal should give up hunting immediately and take up golf.

JFC on a raft! Is that rifle selector switch in the Semi position? I knew Gore was an idiot, but maybe someone was trying to get him to kill himself in that photo. First time I've noticed the selector switch.
