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.
Alaskans ... gotta love 'em!

That's funny, it would have been a video worth watching.
Tough old folks up there :-)
Duke, I'd love to have seen her whacking away at that moose, myself. It was probably quite confused.
Old NFO, I won't be surprised to find a YouTube video of the event. If that happens, I WILL post it.
Tough folks indeed!
That... is *awesome* :)
