\t\t\t\tIf I had a hammer \u2026<\/p>\n

or \u2026<\/p>\n

an axe?<\/p>\n

Yikes!<\/p>\n

I just heard a news brief from the far reaches of Russia that rivals any fairytale\u00a0those Grimm guys ever concocted …<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The heroine of this tale is Aishat Maksudova<\/a>, a 56-year-old farmer from the Caucasus Mountains. When Ms. Maksudova heard a wolf attacking one of her calves, she did what any gutsy granny would do \u2026<\/p>\n

She grabbed an axe and charged out to defend her herd!<\/p>\n

(Okay, so she was a might gutsier than most.)<\/p>\n

But, wait, this story gets more spine-tingling.<\/p>\n

Startled from his meal-to-be, the wolf turned on Maksudova.<\/p>\n

“With an open mouth, the wolf suddenly jumped on me,” she told reporters. “The wolf clawed into my leg, and when I raised my arm up the wolf was just holding my hand, trying to claw my hand. So I just left my hand, and the wolf was just clawing into it, pulling on it \u2026 and then I took the axe and hit him on the head.”<\/p>\n

My, granny, what big nerve you have!<\/em><\/p>\n

Indeed, Maksudova hit the wolf several times until it released her, and she is now faring well after being treated for her wounds.<\/p>\n

The wolf, however, did not meet such a fortunate ending.<\/p>\n

This probably hits pretty close to home for YakLady, a true-blue farm sister from Montana, who witnessed her own up-close-and personal wolf attack<\/a> in October (with photos to prove it).<\/p>\n

Let’s hear it for brave farmgals who share their territories with the wild things\u2014and live to tell these tales.<\/p>\n
