How decent and noble of him to try to ‘finish it off’ with his rifle butt. Not cruel or barbaric at all then…
I like the idea of the ‘pair scuffling’. And the fox came out on top!
Good on the fox.

Ha ha, serves him right. Fantastic Mr Fox

Fox shoots hunter, there's something you don't read about too often

Agreed made me giggle.

Then the fox went off and died a slow agonizing death. Poor example, all around, of hunting. It should have been a quick follow-up dispatching shot to end the hunt. It is never good when a hunter is shot!

Well, in fairness to the fox, he probably doesn't have much shooting experience. I'm sure a bit more practice on the shooting range and he could have finished off the swine in one shot and not left him injured like that.

foxes get smarter every year...

 

[GordonM]

Time spent in practice is time well spent, agreed!

First off, the fox is not swine. Second, with a statement shuch as that, you obviously have very little, if any, actual hunting experience.

Oh dear, someone's had a sense of humour failure (or missed the joke)

 

[durulz]

Found in Webster's American Dictionary:

Irony (adj) A metal. Not unlike bronzey and leadey.

 

[sxmolloy]

Missed the joke, obviously. And it's "such" not "shuch".

You got that right...

Think every one would agree with you on that.

As for shooting the "Swine" I do belive Durulz was referring to the hunter not the fox.

 

[GordonM]

Yes, I see that now. It still does not sit well, durulz is advocating that it is OK for the hunter to have been shot. Not funny, even if an attempt at humor.

cheeky git.

Not to worry about that hunter, I've more than evened the score.

Foxhunting is a bizarre sport that simply can't be explained to anyone who hasn't been there and done that. I was a three-phase eventer with no interest in it until someone talked me into going on a couple. I know it's a controversial class-warfare issue in Britain, but it's more fun than a flock of sheep and no witnesses.

As Winston Churchill said, "Half the excitement of a cavalry charge with only a quarter of the danger."

 

[GordonM]

As for shooting the "Swine" I do belive Durulz was referring to the hunter not the fox.

But just as easily taken in the context of an anti-hunting drivel. I will admit that I do have difficulty with British humor.

But if he is carrying and operating a fire arm there is a chance there will be an accident. We all carry knives and there's a chance we will be cut.

My moto is: If you live by the sword, be prepared to die by the sword". In other words if a hunter is going to fire a gun, there's a chance he/she may be shot. Just my opinion of course.

Yes, there is the chance. But if it did happen, would you not agree that that would be terrible for the hunter. Are you advocating that it would be OK?
