Shawn Tuffnell says he punched a moose multiple times, gripping its neck, before shooting it to death to save his 70-year-old mother.
The 37-year-old Saskatchewan man says his fight with the animal took place in late January after hearing his mother, Angie Tuffnell, cry for help on her acreage near Bienfait, 220 kilometres southeast of Regina.
“(The moose) was just standing right over top of her, like the chest was directly above her,” Tuffnell recalled in an interview this week.
“I got out there really quick, otherwise he would have started stomping on her.”
Tuffnell said the Jan. 22 attack began when his mother went to the garage and saw the moose resting near a vent.
The animal stood up and chased her down, he said.
Tuffnell screamed, hoping it would run away, but the moose didn’t leave.
He did the next best thing he could think of — he punched it in the face.
