So I was trying to get to the truck. But I didn't make it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>While most people would freeze, the 85-year-old female channelled her rage and went after the moose with the blunt object.<\/p>\n<p>Considering Ms Taylor is five foot tall and weighs only seven stone, you have to take your hat off and admire her courage.<\/p>\n<p>I just hope that if I ever get caught in such a compromising situation, my wife would come to my rescue as well.<\/p>\n<p>Posted by Mark Wilkins<br> &nbsp;<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"ADNFCR-2867-ID-801274067-ADNFCR\"
