January 24, 2012: 85yo Moose Mashing Heroine
Wife stops moose stomping with shovel
They build them tough in Alaska. This story from the Anchorage Daily News
Quote:
An agitated moose ran down and stomped a well-known Bush pilot from Willow, but he was saved when his wife grabbed a shovel from their pickup truck and whacked the big animal until it backed off.
George Murphy, 82, and his wife, Dorothea Taylor, 85, told the story of their recent moose encounter Sunday afternoon from Murphy's hospital room in Anchorage, where he is recovering from gashes to his head and left leg as well as seven broken ribs.

I wanna be them when I grow up.
