Mountain Biker in Spain Shot After Being Mistaken for a Rabbit

A mountain biker was shot with dozens of pellets after being mistaken for a rabbit by a hunter in Alicante, Spain, theolivepress reports

Miguel Toran had just passed a pair of hunters on his ride but was then mistakenly shot by a third a few metres later. Torna was in colourful kit and wearing a helmet while riding on the Monte Orgergia forest trail, which is popular with riders and walkers. The hunter discharged a cartridge that contained hundreds of pellets and left Toran with impacts on his buttocks, lower back and legs. Fortunately, no major organs were hit but paramedics later removed 20 pellets that had become embedded in Toran's skin.

Local emergency services were called and although the cyclist was not taken to hospital, his wounds are being monitored by doctors to see if further treatment is necessary. The hunter told the police that he had confused the movement of the cyclist with that of a rabbit and admitted that he shot him with a cartridge, which contains a high number of pellets, which corroborates with the victim's testimony.

Toran believes that the incident was a genuine accident but he is still considering a complaint against the hunter. The hunter had a shooting license but could still be charged with recklessness.

As hunters and mountain bikers share the same environment, unfortunately incidents between the two groups have happened before, often with the mountain bikers ending up worse off. In 2018, a British rider was killed in Morzine by a hunter's stray bullet and a similar tragic incident happened in Lapland last year.

 @WasatchEnduro: Based on the shot pattern the hunter was too far away to lethally shoot the rabbit. This isn't an accident. When you take the safety off, raise your gun and pull the trigger it was either intentional or negligent. There are no accidents with firearms, they don't shoot themselves.

 @pourquois-pas: @pourquois-pas:

Yep, couldn't agree more. Also the last sentence is extremely misleading. It was not a "stray bullet" that killed the british rider. He was intentionally shot, albeit mistaken for an animal. A stray bullet would have missed and is a random act.

I do hunt, and why anyone would want to hunt by other humans is well beyond my comprehension. Call it what you will accident, negligence etc, it does not matter. It should not have happened.

Like all disputes between user groups be it hunters/non hunters...hikers/bikers....drivers/road.....equestrian/bikers/hikers....mostly ok except for the outlying disrespectful and entitled f$%^ing morons on every side.

Nothing against hunting. I killed a rabbit during a night ride when he ran into my rear wheel, which unfortunately for him has bladed spokes. I didn't take him home to make rabbit stew for the family but at least a coyote or some birds of prey ate him up.

It's pretty much a free-for-all and as much as I appreciate all the wide-open barely regulated and unpatrolled spaces for my 4-wheeling adventures, Americans are pretty much allowed to stake claims and tear up the land looking for things to consume and sell. There is a lot of good in that but it's an odd balance.

I have rabbit hunted before with some guys that do it all the time they used highly trained dogs that try to flush it towards you and are barking the whole time and you try to shoot it when it runs by you hauling ass, very hard actually. When we cleaned the ones we killed to eat there were only a couple pellets in each one.

That being said I have absolutely no clue how he thought a cyclist was a rabbit

 @pourquois-pas: I disagree. You have no way of knowing the choke he was using, the size of the shot, or how far away he was. You can't determine if any of these pellets would have or would have not been lethal on a rabbit from the image of the rider.

With that being said I have no idea how the hell stuff like this happens. Too many hunters are out there shooting on pure movement, pulling the trigger first and confirming their target second. Sadly in the state I live in a bow hunter was killed by a rifle hunter this year when he confused movement in the brush to be an elk. Same sort of scenario, shooting first and identifying the target second which is totally unacceptable.

This incident is clearly a case of negligence.

 @baxterbike: Yeah, no. Hunters pay licensing fees that go to studying and maintaining wildlife habitat, the research and regulatory system that's necessary to keep them from eliminating every species. They pay for fish and wildlife people, but Forest Service, BLM, and other land management agencies have budgets which dwarf hunting/fishing fees. In no way do hunters "fund the vast majority of public lands we ride on."

sorry, but responsibility always lies with the person with their finger on the trigger. I own dozens of firearms. literal dozens. I would never point one at someone and pull the trigger(would only do it in this instance btw) in filming if I had personally inspected the gun after it was handed to me(and then never letting it out of my grasp until after the scene). its Alec's responsibility. full stop.

The idiot violated one of the fundamental rules of hunting: You never pull the trigger unless you have a clear view of your target.

 @WasatchEnduro: I concur. I haven't hunted in since I was a boy (tbh, I'm a vegetarian these days), but grew up in an area where hunting was very popular (Hunting season probably contributed nearly as much as farming to our small rural town's economy.) We used to hunt rabbits with .22 rifles. Only thing I remember my dad ever shooting with a shotgun were birds and clay pigeons. Maybe it's common practice, but not one I'm familiar with. As a former marine and competitive marksman he probably would have scoffed at the idea of hunting rabbits with a shotgun.

 @enis: just a quick question.
Judging by the size of spray pattern what distance could it be shot from?
  • 3 2
 @WasatchEnduro: Actually, shotguns are great for small game because the sudden impact of numerous pellets shocks the animal into death without tearing up the meat too terribly bad. If you had shot a rabbit with a hunting rifle the velocity of the impact, combined with the mass of the single projectile, would obliterate the rabbit. Not what you want if you're harvesting for meat.

 @TheOriginalTwoTone: it is not a tall task to train a person how a gun operates. If you are handling a gun it is important that you have the basic knowledge of making the gun safe. Failing to do so is negligence at the least. If the exact same series of events occurred to a small group filming a YouTube video, the person holding the gun would be guilty of manslaughter. To act as though the size of the production voids personal responsibility is preposterous.

Anyway, I’m staggered that the rider is only ‘considering’ action against the hunter. Knowing that you are on or next to a public trail and shooting your firearm without having a clue what you’re pointing it at is so far beyond simple negligence I don’t even know what to call it.

 @greener1: Except in firearms training this phenomenon is (should be) discussed and why hunters are taught (should be) to confirm before firing. My instructor drilled this into our heads - no animal or target is worth a life, it's easy to make mistakes, be sure - 100% - before pulling the trigger. You should see the target and take aim before even putting your finger near the trigger... it doesn't need to be there until you're ready to fire and being ready to fire means confirming target.
  • 1 1
 @pourquois-pas: Yeah, all good points, BUT sometimes the brain fills in the information for you. It confirms the target IS what you were were expecting it to be...as in you literally see a rabbit...even though it seems rediculous like this case....There is no screening during aquiring your PAL to know who is more susceptible to this and who is not. That's why "eye whitness" accounts are not often as reliable as once thought even though we are all sure we see what we see. I suspect this person is "positive' he fired at a rabbit in that moment.

 @TheOriginalTwoTone: Absolutely not! Whoever is holding the weapon is responsible for what happens. If he doesn't know shit about the weapon he shouldn't have had it in his hands. there are a whole different set of issues associated with the armorer, negligence, and why a fully functional weapon was on the set at all. Baldwin is 100% responsible for pulling the trigger - tragic accident or not. I'm not saying to charge him with murder but he is still responsible for taking that life.

 You all are ridiculous, how many video of 'experts' having accidents are on youtube and you expect every actor/extra in a war movie to be a weapon and ammunition experts.
LOL listen to yourselves.
Based on your logic, if the brakes fail on a bus and the drive kills someone, they should be charged. Every vehicle on the road is capable of killing so every drive had better be a mechanic because if you get behind the wheel you're responsible no matter the cause.

  • 4 0
 @greener1: I'm not disagreeing with the behavior and it sure seems to have been a factor here. But as a hunter, knowing this is the case, I avoid putting myself in that situation. I don't shoulder and ready the gun on a noise in the bush and wait to pop it when it comes out, finger dancing on the trigger. When I think I hear a target coming I raise the weapon and hold with safety ON and finger OFF trigger. When the movement presents itself confirm target, take aim, remove safety and pull trigger (takes a 1-2s, tops). We do this because a well trained hunter knows it is easy to make a mistake, so you remove the risk by not being in a position to fire on something without confirmation.

The half to full second means 1. almost certain target confirmation, and, 2. a better more lethal shot. Same reason why my group fowl hunts with pumps instead of semis. We shoot 2/3 the shots of semi hunters and have a much higher kill percentage... the pump effort gives you a moment to think and re-aim instead of blasting off 3 bad shot.

I stand by my statement, 100% negligence... the outcome was avoidable.

Trails, national parks forests, rivers, whichever open wild areas so most of the public space are state owned therefore you can ride absolutely everywhere. State takes care of maintaining hiking trails, forests, trail paths When there are hunters they are the only hobby that causes a lethal threat to all others hobbies (Hikers, mushroom hunters, mountain bikers, trail runners don't cause any harm nor risk to others)

 So, he had just passed the other two hunters, was shot at close distance and that idiotic rabbit excuse will still fly? I bet a six pack that was deliberate by a wasted, biker-hating f*cktard hunter who's pissed off about mtbikers existing in "his" woods. Different countries, same douchebags unfortunately.

And it seems like he'll get away with a slap on the wrist. I thought normally people who shoot other people are prosecuted by the state and go to jail. What's different about hunters? Why does the rider have to file a complaint on his own?
  • 6 0
 Totally agree, not an "accident" at all. With all the traps being set on trails these days, including razor wire attached to 2 trees across a corner at neck height, it was only a matter of time before this started happening.

The prick totally meant to shoot at him, whether it was meant as a warning shot and he actually him or if he intentionally meant to hit him is irrelevant

 Gotta say: I love my local trails but when hunting season rolls around, I defer to the boys, let 'em do their thing and steer waaaaaaaaaaaay clear of all that until its over. Just a few weeks for most part and we're all the happier for it. I dont' worry about getting shot and they don't have to worry about some jackoff (me) spooking their deer, turkey, grouse or rabbit. Win-win situation.

Still: ya gotta prosecute the Rabbit Shot Caballero... if you cannot take a few seconds to make sure the life you are about to take is actually the one you think it is, you don't deserve a gun and you do deserve to pay for that mistake. That is, unless you live in the US where guns and the idea of guns is sacred and everything else is second class. Ronald McDonald is alive & well, armed to the teeth and he's got a trigger finger.

 Not sure if you’re being sarcastic about the US and guns but this fact pattern fulfills charging requirements for reckless endangerment, negligent discharge, or assault in many states. Possessing a firearm while intoxicated can result in confiscation in Washington. Depending on where you are this could be charged as a felony. A lot less casual than this article implies. Adhering to the four rules of firearms would’ve also prevented Alec Baldwin’s negligent behavior. He doesn’t know them BECAUSE he’s anti gun. If he had ever been to a range or had any training he would have known better.

 @giantrider56: Was being absolutely sarcastic: I own a gun, but wonder why Im not forced to register & prove my sanity annually to keep it. I also respect hunters & don't want to be riding near them, wrecking their time - its not all year long, just a few weeks here & there. Main point though is that gun 101 is that you absolutely are sure of what you're shooting at before firing - and a rabbit's not worth that kinda triggerfinger in my view...shooter way outta line to pull a trigger haphazardly on a bunny. Last - our peeps hold guns more sacred than anything, even democracy (in my view) and that's just an observation not a smear for snowflakes to piss on (oh no, here comes the comment cops)...and lots of the world (and I) now think(s) we're nuts for it.

 Look at the spread pattern, you would be close enough to know it was not a rabbit, perhaps hunters have a dislike
towards mtbers, still you couldnt admit it was deliberate, the consequences of such, a rabbit excuse is the
best for the hunter.
If the hunter was a dithering half blind old idiot and did mistake human for rabbit ( aim high as rabbits are tall )
then revoke of guns and all hunting amongst punishment, as this is a serious missuse of firearms.

 I had that happen to myself several decades ago, before I even owned a cell phone (let alone one with a camera).. fortunately in my case it was a .410 steel birdshot shell and not something with lead pellets.

 So unfortunate and doesn't fall into the accident category in my opinion. Only reason I feel this way is because my grandfather is a crabby old hunter. Back in the day he used to boards with nails in it across trails where he hunts to keep dirtbikers from ruining his chances of getting game. Hunters can feel slighted by having to share the woods during hunting season and feel they have the right of way essentially. So it could have been a malicious act.

 I had an episode with a pair of guys skeet shooting in a highly popular trail network in BC this year. They were shooting towards an upper trail and had absolutely no idea that there were riders and trails in the area. I came up on the lower trail taking cover behind trees as I moved forward. I was yelling for them to stop, which they eventually did. Scared the shit out of me. They were apologetic after I explained the situation and they moved on. Shotguns and bikes are a bad mix.

 It’s a terrible idea to have hunters and other land users in the same area at the same time. As long as this happens there will be people shot and some of them killed every year. Look at shooting ranges….they are tightly controlled. Live ranges and cold ranges. I never want to be on a mountain bike or or hiking or anything in an area with active hunters. No thanks. Too bad there are only two weekend days, but hunters and other land users can’t be in the same place at the same time. It doesn’t work. Bright Orange Enduro helmets don’t work either.
