95-year-old Laura Wood bags moose with 1 shot

Posted Image

A 95-year-old woman from Yarmouth, N.S. has bagged a moose with one shot while on a hunting trip in Newfoundland.

It was the last day of hunting, just after daylight when Laura Wood brought down the 600-pound creature.

"Well I just shot it."

Then "the guide said, 'don't shoot again.' I was going to shoot again, but he said 'don't shoot' because he knew I got it."

But hunting one moose didn't faze the woman and she moved on to try to find a bull moose.

Wood said she's has been hunting rabbits and deer since she was 16 years old.

"Well I used to be [a good shot.] Well it must have been pretty good if I got that one...it's in my freezer now."

She said shooting a moose has been a lifelong dream.

"I went hunting around four years ago and I wanted to get one then, but I didn't."

The Sandy Point Lodge, which hosted the hunting trip, said it's the first time they can remember a 95-year-old hunter.

Wood said she won't hunt moose next year, because "I'm getting too old."

But, "I still plan on deer hunting."

I read that this morning in the paper. Pretty amazing to see elderly folks still hunting at that age. My wifečs granfather is 82 and still hunt moose and deer every year, sometimes all alone. Gives me hope.
"A feather fell from the sky. The eagle saw it. The deer heard it. The bear smelled it. The coyote did all three."
